# Welcome

### What's this all about

The BierBot Bricks brewing software aims to help you to brew great beer. You can add different devices (a.k.a. "Bricks")

* to control your equipment (the BierBot Brick), 
* to track your temperatures and 
* to track your gravity (TILT, iSpindel) 

... over time. You can import and create **recipes** using our recipe editor, you can view a **detailled brewing batch log** after your brewday and you can **invite fellow brewers to your brewery** to share all of the aforementioned stuff.

### Getting started

Let's say you simply want to "start brewing" and end up with a screen similar to the following. You might ask: "How do I get there?". Here's the answer:

1. [Register / Login](https://bricks.bierbot.com/#/register).
2. [Build or buy a Brick ](https://docs.bierbot.com/hardware/hardware/brick-101)(Easy option: Sonoff TH16 based, flexible option: Raspberry Pi).
3. [Connect the Brick to your brewery](https://docs.bierbot.com/getting-started/adding-your-first-brick).
4. [Assign the relay and temperature sensor of your Brick to a device](https://docs.bierbot.com/getting-started/setting-up-your-first-mashtun), i.e. mashtun.
5. [Create or import a recipe](https://docs.bierbot.com/getting-started/importing-recipes).
