Freedom Units?
I have always seen them referred to as imperial units.
It's imperial. Freedom units have become part of the 'MURICA! jokeset.

Would like a login cookie so user doesn't have to log in manually every session.
Checking our the "My Brews" section. Stream of consciousness incoming
Add brew wasn't immediately apparent, again would like drop downs for the search fields. I saw you're using react, but other than that it's pretty locked down so can't recommend any specific solution.
Search fields, would like results shown after 1 character, not two.
Mash steps still are not displayed. Only description, rest temperature, and duration. There's no calculation that I can see for strike volume, temperature, sparge volume, or infusion/decoction information for multi step mashes.
You say "required yeast cells" but there's no user input field that I can see for pitch rate, I assume this is currently set to 0.75 B/plato/mL? Please cite your formula, and/or give a selection to choose between Troeser (Braukaiser) and Mr. Malty (J. Zainashef)
Brew day information: This reads as a wall of a text, I would break it up into sections.
Move the Total grains and hops, same with yeast sections to their respective areas. Then have a volumes section, then a specifications section with BU:GU, abv, color, BH efficiency etc.
Since you didn't quite get my meaning last time. Potential is not a type of unit for beer/wort, it's a property of the grain and has no bearing on wort or beer. It should be called SG for specific gravity. I would see it as quite confusing to see on a recipe sheet, as it has no meaning there.
* Definition of batch size is possible to set as you like yourself. I much prefer the into bottles definition, but I know most software use the into fermenter definition. It's possible to change this by clicking the "gear" icon over batch size in the recipe.
Sounds good, found that.
Did some more testing, looks good. Might have just been some rounding issues between your software and mine.
I would add a tooltip to the "estimated" brewhouse efficiency clarifying that it's a calculated value from the user input mash efficiency, and the postboil volume (cooled), and kettle losses. Alternatively change "estimated" to "calculated" or "expected". This is a trap I see beersmith users fall into all the time. This software (and beersmith) does not estimated brewhouse efficiency, it's calculating it based on the user inputs. It doesn't estimate for instance, how much lower your efficiency will be when you do a brew with 20lbs instead of your typical 12 lbs.
I do like that everything is visible on one single page, and is editable from that page even if a separate window (like the equipment editor) exists, something I've kept true as well.
I have my own software, so my viewpoint is biased towards my preferences, as well was a FOSS model. There's just so many viable alternatives already that do all this, I think it will be difficult to get people to switch to a paid web app with unknown server support and no way to backup or export data.
I like what you've done so far, the interface is solid, the formulas seem good, and you seem receptive to feedback. However I'm not interested in a subscription, or mandatory paid software based web app model. Brewersfriend is free for basically all users, although you can only have 5 free recipes saved at a time. This has a lot of potential, I just don't see it lasting, or getting a large foothold if it requires mandatory payments, and it would be a shame for that to happen.
If you do decide to go foss, or host on github or anything, I'd be interested in continuing to help where I can.
Adding to my list of software to review in detail later.
