02 · Keg management & brewing

Kegs, tanks and recipes, off the whiteboard.

Scan kegs with your phone and see when each beer will kick. Plan every tank on one timeline, and log each batch against its recipe.

Sound familiar?

“Which bars still have our kegs?”

Before

  • A keg spreadsheet, updated when someone remembers.
  • Kegs out at accounts for months, and no one sure where.
  • Brew days planned on a whiteboard.

With PintDeck

  • Scan kegs out and back with your phone.
  • See every keg at your places and at each account, and which have been out longest.
  • Plan brews on one tank timeline, with a nudge before a beer runs out.

PintDeck works alongside Ekos, Ollie or Beer30 for TTB reports and accounting.

Keg tracking

Know before a beer runs out.

Count kegs by hand or scan them with your phone. PintDeck turns those counts into the day each beer runs out.

  • Run-out datesReserve

    Every beer gets the day it runs out, and the range it could fall in.

  • Hand counts

    Type how many kegs are left. Zero marks the beer as empty.

  • Phone scans

    Scan kegs as they’re filled, moved and emptied.

  • When to brew

    See the days you’d have nothing to pour, before they happen.

Scan with your phone

Point the camera at a keg’s tag. It opens with what’s in it, where it is, and what to do next.

Scan a stack at once

Scan several kegs, say what happened to them, and they all change together.

Scans and counts, one history

Hand counts and keg scans land in the same history, so the run-out date uses both.

  • One timeline

    Fermenters, brites and serving tanks, with today marked.

  • Brew by

    PintDeck works back from when a beer runs out to the day you need to brew it.

  • Brew day on your phone

    Steps, timers and hop additions, right on the lock screen.

  • Cellar tasks

    Dry hops, crashes and transfers, due on the right day.
