Brewery Software Designed By Brewers.

The 5th Ingredient was founded by Pulkit K. Agrawal (PKA), a former Process Engineer for Ballast Point Brewery with a love for brewing efficiency. The company was built with the idea of creating a brewery software that's backed by a team of knowledgeable industry veterans. As we grow as a company, one of our main focuses is to bring on team members with a passion for brewing and the brewing process.
