BrewWiki is a user-built collection of articles on brewing and homebrewing topics.
Contributing an Article to BrewWiki
You need to create an account and login to BrewWiki to be able to edit a page. If you wish to create a new page, do a search for the page or topic first, and then create the new page from the search page if you do not find a suitable existing topic.

BrewWiki is organized into projects, each with its own main portal and category. Please visit the BrewWiki:Community Portal to see a listing of our portals and some of the most needed articles.
Editing and Formatting
BrewWiki uses the MediaWiki software system. Formatting of pages is unique to this system, but easy to learn by browsing a few examples. Click on the edit tab on any page to see what the source document looks like. The Wikipedia quick guide offers some basic formatting options including a cheatsheet to help you contribute to BrewWiki. The Wikpedia extended editing guide provides more detailed formatting options. For more detailed discussion of style, see the Wikipedia Style Manual
