Count by hand
Count a beer that isn't counted from its kegs, record beer that left without being poured, and fix a past count.
A beer that isn't in stock at any place is counted by hand: you type how many kegs are left, and PintDeck works out its pace and out date from the counts. Count it now and again in a few days, and the date appears.
Count a beer
Open the count
On On hand, click Count on the beer's row, or … › Count kegs. On the beer's Stock tab, click Count kegs at the top.
Enter what's left
Type the Kegs remaining. 0 marks the beer as out.
Say when
The Reading date is today. Add a Time (optional) if you counted earlier, and a Note (optional).
Save Reading
The beer's out date, pace and chart update straight away.
A beer with a serving tank can still have its kegs counted by hand. The field reads Kegs on hand (not the tank); the tank's gallons are counted for you and added on top.
Counted from its kegs? There's nothing to type
For a beer that's in stock at a place, Count kegs is grayed out. Its stock is its full kegs, so fill, empty and move the kegs instead.
Log one keg kicked
For a hand-counted beer with no serving tank, the beer's … menu has Log one keg kicked. It records a new count one keg lower than the last.
Record beer that wasn't poured
Kegs that leave without being poured shouldn't count toward the pace. On the beer's … menu, choose Record a draw (canning, loss):
| Reason | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Reserve for canning | Kegs set aside for a canning run. They leave the pourable stock now, and the pace doesn't jump. |
| Dump / loss | Spoiled or lost beer. It lowers the count without counting as a pour. |
Enter the Kegs, the Date and a note, then Record Draw. Draws show in the beer's History, marked left out of the pace, and can be removed from there.
Record a draw is for hand-counted beers. For a beer counted from its kegs, hold the kegs for canning or mark them empty instead.
Add a count you missed
Add a past reading (on the beer's … menu, or Add a past count above its History) fills in what a beer had on a day you didn't record it, such as a count from before you used PintDeck. The chart, batches and pace recompute from that day on. Nothing about what's in your kegs or tanks right now changes.
Fix a count
Click a count in the beer's History to open Edit Reading. Change the number, the date, the time or the note, or Delete it. Everything after it recomputes: the chart, the batches and the pace.
Switching to counting from kegs
Put a place in stock for the beer and it's counted from its kegs from then on; take out its last place and it goes back to hand counts. Earlier counts still count toward its pace. See Places and stock.
On iPhone
Tap Count on a beer's row in Taps, or Record reading on its Stock tab. Record a reading takes the kegs left, with quick choices like −1 keg, Same as last and It's out, then Save reading. The beer's … menu has Log one keg kicked and Record a draw too.
