Your recipes are yours, and Brewgravity exports them in three formats. Open a recipe and use the Export menu.

BeerJSON

The modern interchange format. Best fidelity, and the right pick if the destination supports it.

BeerXML

The universal one. Use this to move a recipe into Brewer’s Friend, Brewfather, BeerSmith, Brewtarget, or almost anything else.

Markdown

Plain readable text — ingredients, mash schedule, and stats. For pasting into a forum post, a brew club email, or a printed sheet for the shed wall.

​
Exporting everything

There is no bulk export in the UI today. To pull your whole library at once, use the API:
That writes each recipe, with all of its ingredients and mash steps, as a JSON file. See Authentication for getting a key.
The API returns Brewgravity’s own JSON shape, not BeerJSON. It is a complete representation of the recipe — it is simply not the interchange standard. Use the Export menu when you need a file another brewing app will accept.

​
Fermentation data

Fermentation logs export through the API rather than the UI:
Each reading comes back with its timestamp, gravity, temperature, pH, volume, and notes — a straightforward source for your own charts or a spreadsheet.
