# Recipes

The RAPT platform provides a comprehensive recipe designer, allowing you to create and import recipes. Every recipe you create can be shared with other users, and you can search through any publicly shared recipe and add it to your library. You can rate public recipes using a 5 star rating system and find highly rated recipes that you might be interested in brewing yourself.

To create a new Recipe, click the Add New Recipe button in the toolbar. See [My Recipes](/recipes/my-recipes.md) for a detailed explanation. Existing recipes from other platforms can also be easily imported as well!

To find an existing recipe, use [Search Recipes](/recipes/search-recipes.md). You can thewn browse or enter a search term (such as Pale Ale, for example)

You can track your Brew Day and previous Brew Days under [Batches](/recipes/batches.md)

[Water Profiles](/recipes/water-profiles.md) allows you to enter your Water Profile. Typically you can get this information from the wesbite of your local water provider. Using the correct Water Profile in conjunction with the RAPT Water Profile database makes getting the perfect water profile for every brew a one click calculation!

To manage your Brewing Sysem, you can import an existing Brewery Profile, or create your own! This is managed in [Equipment Profiles](/equipment/equipment-profiles.md)

The RAPT Recipe Builder is tightly integrated across the RAPT ecosystem. Brewing and Fermentation Profiles can be created with one click in the Recipe Editor and then seamlessly sent to your RAPT devices when you are ready to brew!
