HOP CONTROL is a hop aroma calculator and dry hopping calculator that turns 10+ years of research into a single tool: model your hop schedule, calculate the final aromatic profile and cut costly trial brews — for breweries and serious homebrewers.
A quick look at how brewers use Hop Control to predict and design their hop profile.
Design beers with the exact aromatic qualities you want — faster and more precisely — thanks to an advanced algorithm and an extensive hop database.
Combines the properties of every hop you add, accounting for boil time and dry hopping, and outputs a radar chart estimating the final aroma.
A detailed, continuously updated database with over 330 hop varieties and their essential-oil aromatic data.
Validated through real test brews with Birrificio Dada. Swap expensive or hard-to-find hops while keeping the same profile.
Find the right direction immediately and reduce the number of trial batches — and their cost.
Run your studies anywhere from fast cloud servers, on desktop and mobile, with your work always in sync.
All processed information is encrypted, following best practices in cybersecurity to keep your recipes safe.
HOP CONTROL composes the values associated with each hop variety you enter, factoring in boil time and any dry hopping. The main output is a radar diagram giving you a reliable estimate of the final aromatic profile of your hopping.
A rich, continuously evolving database lets you compare, substitute and blend hops with confidence — so you always know what each addition brings to the glass.
Pick varieties from the database and enter your additions, boil times and dry hopping.
The algorithm computes the predicted aromatic profile and shows it as a clear radar chart.
Tweak, substitute and refine until you hit the target aroma — then brew with confidence.
Try the full methodology at no cost, then choose the plan that fits how you brew.
Design and review your hop studies on the go. Hop Control runs on the web and on mobile, keeping every recipe and result in sync across your devices.
A clean, focused interface that puts your hop data and aromatic profiles front and center.

Everything you want to know about the Hop Control hop calculator and hop aroma predictor.
A hop calculator is a tool that estimates the contribution of each hop addition to your beer. Hop Control goes further: it works as a hop aroma calculator, computing the predicted aromatic profile of your recipe before you brew, so you can design the flavour you want instead of guessing.
Hop Control composes the aromatic values of every hop you add, accounting for boil time and dry hopping, then outputs a radar chart that estimates the final aroma. The algorithm is based on technical literature on hop essential oils and validated with real test brews.
Yes. Hop Control acts as a dry hopping calculator: it factors your dry hop additions into the predicted aromatic profile, so you can fine-tune timing and quantities to hit the aroma you are aiming for.
The hop calculator includes a continuously updated database of 330+ hop varieties with their aromatic data, so you can compare, substitute and blend hops with confidence.
Yes. You can start with a free 7-day demo — no credit card required — and upgrade to the Pro license whenever you are ready.
Join brewers using data — not guesswork — to design their aroma.
