What is GravityPing?
GravityPing is a simple app that reminds you when it's time to check your gravity during fermentation. You set a schedule, get a nudge, and log the reading. That's the whole app.
No recipe databases. No water chemistry calculators. Just reminders and a log.
Why Track Gravity?
You already know this - gravity readings tell you how your fermentation is progressing. When the numbers stop dropping, you're done. Miss a reading and you might bottle too early (hello, bottle bombs) or let it sit too long.
The problem isn't knowing why to check. It's remembering when to check.
That's where GravityPing comes in.
How to Use GravityPing (4 Steps)
1. Start a Brew
Head to gravityping.com and click "Start Tracking." No account needed - you can try everything before signing up.
Give your brew a name, pick the style (beer, wine, mead, cider, kombucha - whatever you're fermenting), and enter your original gravity.
2. Set Your Schedule
Choose when you want to be reminded. The free tier sends email reminders on whatever schedule you choose - daily, every other day, twice a week, whatever fits your fermentation.
Pro users get reminders via SMS or WhatsApp - harder to miss than email.
3. Get Reminded, Log the Reading
When it's time to check, GravityPing pings you. Open the app, grab your hydrometer, and log the number. One tap.
Your readings show up in a simple timeline so you can see your gravity trending down over time.
4. Know When You're Done
Watch your gravity flatten out. When consecutive readings are the same, fermentation is done. No guessing, no "I think it's probably fine."
