Compare Broover vs. Ekos

Broover is an all-in-one distillery and fermentation management platform built for craft distillers, home brewers, and spirit producers who need a smarter way to manage production workflows. The platform enables users to track washes, fermentation activity, distillation runs, recipes, inventory, and bottled lots with complete provenance from recipe creation to final product packaging. Broover integrates with a wide range of hydrometers and fermentation monitoring devices including RAPT Pill, Tilt Hydrometer, iSpindel, Grainfather Conical Connect, Plaato, Float, and Brewfather-compatible systems to deliver real-time telemetry and automated fermentation insights. The solution analyzes fermentation data to predict finish times, identify stuck washes, and recommend recovery actions or strip-run preparation steps. Recipe management features allow users to create and manage recipes for gin, vodka, rum, whiskey, liqueurs, and botanical macerations while automatically pre-filling related forms throughout the production workflow. Distillers can also log spirit runs cut-by-cut with automatic timestamps and visual markers integrated directly into production graphs. The platform includes free public calculators for dilution, ABV, recovery, blend planning, and botanical absorption using OIML R22 ethanol-water contraction correction for greater accuracy. Additional features such as bottle label generation, email alerts, exportable recipe formats, and one-click Brewfather recipe imports help streamline operational efficiency and collaboration. By combining production analytics, fermentation intelligence, device integration, and workflow automation, Broover helps distillers manage operations more effectively while improving consistency, traceability, and production quality.
