Installation

CubicJ Brewing is listed in the Obsidian community plugin directory. Installing from within Obsidian is the recommended path; the release zip remains available for fully offline installs.

Requirements

  • Obsidian Desktop on Windows with Bluetooth LE support (for scale features)
  • Acaia Pearl S scale
  • Mobile installs work too, but only the record-keeping features are available — see Home

macOS/Linux support depends on @stoprocent/noble platform compatibility and is not tested yet.

Install from the community directory (recommended)

  1. In Obsidian, open Settings → Community plugins → Browse and search for CubicJ Brewing.
  2. Select Install, then Enable.

Community installs do not include the native Bluetooth addon. To connect the scale, press the connect button in the brewing view (or open Settings → CubicJ Brewing → Bluetooth addon) and choose Install — the addon (about 3 MB) is downloaded from this plugin's own GitHub release and verified before it is installed. Record keeping works without it.

Continue with What you should see.

Manual install (release zip)

The release zip bundles the Bluetooth addon, so a manual install works fully offline.

1. Download the latest release

Download the cubicj-brewing-x.y.z.zip asset from the latest release. Keep the folder structure inside the zip intact.

2. Extract the plugin

Extract the cubicj-brewing folder into <your-vault>/.obsidian/plugins/. Make sure main.js, manifest.json, styles.css, and noble/ sit together inside it.

Extracted CubicJ Brewing plugin folder with main.js, manifest.json, styles.css, and noble

Keep every file and the noble folder together inside the extracted plugin folder.

The noble/ folder contains the native Bluetooth addon. If it is missing, the plugin still loads and record keeping works — you can install the addon from within Obsidian as described above.

3. Enable CubicJ Brewing

Restart Obsidian. Open Settings → Community plugins, find CubicJ Brewing, and switch it on.

CubicJ Brewing enabled in Obsidian Community plugins settings

Enable CubicJ Brewing from the Community plugins list.

What you should see

Open Settings → CubicJ Brewing and press the Open button next to Open Brewing View. The brewing panel should appear in the right sidebar. The Open Brewing View command and the ribbon coffee icon (when the ribbon is visible) work too.

Continue with Getting Started to connect your scale and make your first brew.
