The Kegs tab
Where every keg is, what state it's in, and how to fill kegs after a brew.
The Kegs tab is every keg you own: where it is and what's in it. Setting up for the first time? Add your places first, then add your kegs.
The buttons at the top are Add kegs, Fill kegs and Move kegs. The … menu has Manage places and Which places make up stock; both are covered in Places and stock.
Where your kegs are
Above the table, a line counts your kegs, how many are at your places and how many are at accounts.
The Where your kegs are table has a row for each of your places, with how many kegs there are Clean, Full and Dirty, and a Total. Under each place's name it says Counts toward stock or Not in the count. The note at the end says what needs doing there (5 to wash), which beers the full kegs hold, or All clean, ready to fill.
Under Out at accounts · delivered, waiting to come back is a row for each account holding your kegs, with how many are out and Oldest out, the days the longest one has been there. A dot marks an account that has had a keg for 30 days or more. Collect starts a return of that account's kegs; see Move kegs.
The last row, All kegs, adds it all up.
Keg states
A keg goes round: clean, filled, back dirty, washed.
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Clean | Washed and ready to fill. |
| Full | Holding a beer. |
| For canning | Full, held back for a canning run. |
| Dirty | Kicked and back, waiting for a wash. |
A keg isn't tied to a tap. It's full of a beer or empty, and it's at a place; a beer's stock is its full kegs at the places it counts. How a keg moves between states is on Fill, empty and clean.
Look inside one place
Click a place's row. Its kegs show as Same beer, together: kegs of the same beer, size and state stacked in one row, with when they got that way (Filled Sep 29, Washed Sep 25 – 30). Switch to Every keg for the full list.
Each stack has one button for its next step:
| Stack | Button |
|---|---|
| Full | Move |
| Clean | Fill |
| Dirty | Mark clean |
| At an account | Collect |
Click a stack to see its kegs, and a keg to open it. Tick kegs, or a whole stack, and a bar appears at the bottom with Move, Assign beer, Mark empty, and … for Archive and Delete. Assign beer fills the picked kegs with one beer, and only clean kegs can be filled.
Find a keg
The box above the table finds a keg by its label or one of its ID numbers. A USB scanner works too: it types the code and presses Enter, which opens the first match.
Every keg
Below the table, Every keg lists them all. Search labels or IDs, filter by State, Place or Beer, and group by Place, Beer, State or None. Add columns with the column picker.
The Stock column says whether a full keg counts toward its beer:
| Stock | What it means |
|---|---|
| In stock | It's at a place that's in stock for its beer. |
| Not in stock | It's at one of your places, but not one its beer counts. |
| Delivered | It's at an account. |
| Not counted | It isn't full, or its beer is counted by hand. |
Serving tanks show on this tab too, under the table.
Fill kegs after a brew
Open Fill kegs
Click Fill kegs at the top, or Fill on a stack of clean kegs.
Pick the beer and place
Choose the Beer and the Place. The list shows the clean kegs there, under Empty kegs at this location. Search by label or ID number if the list is long.
Click each keg you filled
Each one is filled straight away and moves to Filled this session. Close the sheet when you're done.
Filling a keg adds its volume to the beer's stock when the keg's place is in stock for that beer.
Only clean kegs can be filled here
A dirty keg needs Mark clean first. On iPhone, a scanned pile can be filled whatever state it's in; see Scan kegs on iPhone.
