Add kegs
Add kegs one at a time or as a numbered range, with the ID numbers that scans look up.
Add each keg once. Its label is what PintDeck calls it. Its ID numbers are what a scan looks up, so they should match what's stamped or stuck on the keg. Which QR stickers work, and what to buy, is in Keg QR stickers.
You need at least one place first. Until you have one, Add kegs says to create one via Manage places; see Places and stock.
Add one keg
Open Add kegs
On the Kegs tab, click Add kegs.
Fill in the keg
- Label, such as #27.
- Size: 1/2 BBL, 1/4 BBL, Sixth BBL, 50 L, 30 L or Other.
- Starting location. Your default home is picked for you, if you've set one.
- ID numbers (optional). Type one and press Enter or a comma. A keg can have several, and each must be unique in your brewery.
- Notes.
Add Keg
The keg starts out clean at its starting location.
If you leave ID numbers blank, the keg's label becomes its ID number, unless another keg already uses that number. A keg with no ID number can't be found by a scan. To find any, filter Every keg by IDs and pick No ID.
Add a numbered range
Type a range like 1-10 as the Label. The dialog shows what it will make:
Will create 10 kegs: #1, #2, #3, … #10. They all share the size and starting
location, and the button reads Add 10 kegs.
ID numbers can't be typed for a range. Each keg takes its label, with the #, as its ID number. If the numbers on your kegs don't have the #, add each keg's number under Edit details so a scan finds it.
Leading zeros don't matter
ID numbers ignore leading zeros when you scan, type or search for them. A keg
stamped 0123 answers to 123, and one stamped 123 answers to 0123.
Store the ID however it's printed. The flip side: because they're the same
code, one keg can't be 0123 while another is 123.

Archive or delete a keg
Pick kegs on the Kegs tab, then choose … › Archive or Delete. Each row in Every keg has the same two in its menu.

Deleting can't be undone
Delete removes the keg and all of its movement history. Archive a keg you've retired instead.
