Hoparoma - IPA Hop Recipes

Read your beer's aroma as a fingerprint: a literature-based engine, 70 hops, and Apple Intelligence suggestions (iPhone 15 Pro+). Hoparoma models tropical thiol — the chemistry behind every juicy, modern IPA — across yeast, hop, malt, and Phantasm. Most brewing apps tell you what hops to use. Hoparoma computes the aroma chemistry of your recipe and shows where the finished beer is likely to land — before you brew it. —— SEE YOUR AROMA AS A FINGERPRINT —— One result page: a 7-axis profile (Citrus, Tropical, Floral, Herbal, Spicy, Resin/Pine, Dank/Earthy) plus a Thiol Forecast, with a color computed per recipe. Contributions break out by stage — Boil / Whirlpool / Dry Hop / Cold Dry Hop. —— A LITERATURE-BASED AROMA ENGINE —— Built on Stevens power laws from Lafontaine & Shellhammer (2018). Dry-hop saturation, contact-time decay, and over-hopping are modeled explicitly. Every recipe breaks out its estimated aroma-compound concentrations so you can see what drives the profile. It's a research-based estimate, not a guarantee — and the engine's limits are disclosed honestly. —— LIBRARIES —— HOPS (70 varieties): thiol ratings, plus crop-year alpha and oil data for 2024–2026 where available, including estimates. YEAST (29 strains): each rated for thiol biotransformation activity, with sourcing badges (Mainstream / Limited / Pro Pitch Only). MALT (40 malts and grains, plus Other): each rated for thiol precursor level. Beer color (SRM) is computed from your grain bill. —— BREWING JOURNAL —— Save a recipe, brew it, then add a photo tasting log. Hoparoma shows the modeled-vs-perceived gap on each axis; save it as a named Personal Correction and apply it to similar recipes. —— IMPORT FROM BREWFATHER & BEERSMITH (PRO) —— Import reads BeerXML (.beerxml / .xml) and BeerJSON 1.0 files and maps your hops, yeast, and malts to the chemistry model. A missing or unusable dry-hop contact time is flagged for you to confirm rather than guessed. —— MINDFUL RECIPE PRESETS —— Mindful Hazy Session IPA (4.2% ABV) and Sober-Curious Session Pale (3.8% ABV) keep tropical aroma at low ABV — plus 4 classic hop-forward presets. —— OPTIONAL ACCOUNT —— The app works fully without an account. Sign in with your phone number to see the recipes you saved in the Hoparoma web version and to use one Pro subscription in both places. Delete the account anytime from Settings. —— BONUS ON SUPPORTED DEVICES (APPLE INTELLIGENCE) —— An AI brewing co-pilot (describe a goal, get engine-checked suggestions, 5 free tries) and a Flavor Forecast from your numeric profile. On other devices these point you to supported hardware, and every other feature still works. —— PRICING —— FREE: Core Thiol Forecast, basic recipe management, up to 2 saved recipes PRO MONTHLY: $5.99/mo — unlimited recipes, advanced thiol modeling, full Mindful presets PRO ANNUAL: $39.99/yr (7-day free trial, then $39.99/year billed automatically until cancelled) Subscriptions auto-renew at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Apple ID settings. —— WHY HOPAROMA —— Most recipe software manages the recipe. Hoparoma models thiol biotransformation across every layer — yeast β-lyase, malt precursors, hop thiols, and Phantasm dose — as you build. —— SOURCES —— Built on peer-reviewed research (Chenot et al. 2019–2023; Roland et al. 2016, 2017; Michel et al. 2019; Kishimoto et al. 2008, 2022; Molitor et al. 2022; Lafontaine & Shellhammer 2018) and public manufacturer specs.
