Brewing

Software that speaks brewer.

Grain bills, hop additions, yeast strains and adjuncts in the recipe. Fermentation batches in production. Keg-level stock in the warehouse. Xero in the books.

Run Production: pick the beer → scale the batch → ingredients recalculate live → batch created.

Brewing is manufacturing with feelings

Every batch is unique — harvests differ, yields surprise, and the beer that fermented on schedule still needs packaging on a Tuesday you didn’t plan for. Brewery software has to handle that reality, not just the ideal one.

BSimple models a brewery the way brewers think:

  • Recipes — grain bill, hop additions, yeast strains and adjuncts as live ingredient lines
  • Production — scale the batch and watch every ingredient recalculate; commit when the run is real (recipes & production)
  • Batches — every fermentation run is a tracked lot, from grain silo to the keg that left yesterday (batch tracking)
  • Stock — kegs, cans and cartons as live inventory across cold room, taproom and van
  • Sales — taproom POS and wholesale portal orders into one pipeline, synced to Xero

The coffee-roaster pedigree

BSimple cut its teeth on coffee roasters — another batch-driven, craft-scale production business — before extending into food manufacturing and brewing. The pattern is the same: recipes in, batches out, traceability free, margin visible in Product Margin Analysis.

Keep the taps poured

Never run dry on a Friday again.

Reorder levels watch grain, hops and packaging. When a big batch dips them, the Auto Builder drafts the PO — see purchase order automation. And tagged wholesale accounts get re-order invitations on a rhythm — see campaigns.

Questions

Brewing FAQs

Can BSimple store a beer recipe properly?

Yes — a recipe holds the grain bill, hop additions, yeast strain and adjuncts as ingredient lines, with quantities that recalculate live when you scale the batch up or down in a production run.

How are fermentation batches handled?

A production run creates a batch record — the fermentation batch — which consumes ingredient stock and carries through to packaging and traceability.

Does it track kegs and packaged stock separately?

Yes — kegs and packaged units are stock items like any other, so taproom pours, wholesale keg movements and packaged sales all draw from the same live ledger.

Can the taproom and wholesale run side by side?

Yes — taproom counter sales ride the POS screen, wholesale buyers order on their portal links, and both land in the same order pipeline.
