Production settings

general production settings and setting your abv calculation for duty we recommend configuring your settings before using the production suite in breww; you can find these settings by heading to settings > production settings > general production settings batch settings screenshot 2024 05 16 at 16 23 52|690x159 by default, would you like recipe ingredients to be automatically allocated when starting a batch? at the top of batch settings you will find two checkboxes; selecting the first will mean that by default, when you start a batch, the auto allocate ingredients checkbox will be selected you can override this on a batch level when starting a batch if you would rather add your ingredients as you go on a brew day rather than allocate them at the start, then you can have this unchecked by default, would you like your recipe ingredient quantities scaled proportionally with the volume of the batch? the second refers to situations where you enter a batch volume that differs from your recipe; for example, if your recipe was written for 1000 litres, and you are brewing a 2000 litre batch, would you like breww to scale these quantities automatically for you? this will mean that you can have one recipe for a beer and have the flexibility to brew batches of different sizes, as breww will scale the ingredient quantities if you would rather breww didn't automatically do this, you can leaved this unselected; you can overide this on a batch level when starting the batch daily batch readings your daily batch readings will show as a reminder on your production dashboard and apply to all vessels here, you can simply enter how many times you would like breww to remind you to take fermentation readings each day screenshot 2024 05 20 at 16 08 50|690x103 default batch number prefix for merged batches in breww, you can merge batches into other batches the original gyle numbers will be maintained, provided that you are transferring a batch into the entirety of another if the batch being merged into has already had rackings or the batch is split, then a new gyle is created to maintain the integrity of the original batch for traceability in this scenario, you can choose to have a batch number follow on from your usual number sequence or use a prefix for merged batches to distinguish merged batches from your core gyle number sequence you can simply enter the prefix here show individual turns on batch schedule for multi turn batches the show individual turns on batch schedule for multi turn batches checkbox refers to the batch schedule visualisation, where your scheduled batches are viewed on a calendar; you can either have this present as 'one' block on the batch schedule or as three individual blocks (in the example of a 3 turn batch) representing the turns checkbox checked screenshot 2024 05 20 at 16 13 07|690x103 checkbox unchecked screenshot 2024 05 20 at 16 13 32|690x94 require a recipe on all batches the require a recipe on all batches checkbox provides some error proofing, as it prevents a batch from being started if no recipe has been selected if this is unchecked, you can create and start batches without using a recipe preferred batch schedule vessel grouping your batch schedule can be viewed and organised either by vessel type or vessel group if organising this by vessel type example brewing systems fermenter brtie tank if organising by vessel group example brewing systems primary secondary units of measurement unit system here, you can choose to use the metric or us imperial system there is also a checkbox to choose whether to allow stock items to use any unit of measurement (from either the metric or us imperial systems); however, the unit system you selected previously will be used for vessel volumes volume unit to use for all production and recipe volumes you can then select a volume unit to use for all production and recipe volumes , which refers to the units used when producing, transferring and packaging batches racking prevent racking when not enough stock items are available if this option is checked, you will not be able to complete a racking without having all the required stock items available (as per product and/or container type requirements), such as an empty can and lid when racking a can you will be shown a warning when unchecked and can adjust or continue anyway, even though you do not have the 'required' stock items once you have completed these options, you can select save general production settings setting your default abv calculation for duty purposes 💂‍♂️ you will be able to set your default abv calculation for duty purposes by heading to beer duty / alcohol duty > annual estimate & settings you will be able to select from the options below advertised abv entered on the beer (this will use the abv set directly on the beer) automatically calculated from fermentation readings (this will use the abv on a batch level from the gravity readings entered on the analysis tab) entered manually (this will require you to enter the abv manually on the batch) the option chosen here will define the default abv calculation method for all batches created in breww this is just a default, and it can be overwritten on any batch to force it to use a different method
