Why this date
Read a beer's out date on its Stock tab, see the math behind it, and fix the data the date depends on.
Every beer you count gets an out date: the day it should run dry at its usual pace. Click a beer on On hand and its page opens on the Stock tab, which shows the date, what it's built from, and anything that makes it doubtful.
The top of the Stock tab
Runs out and the date sit at the top, with a pill counting down (5 days, Tomorrow) in your status colors. Open brew plan is beside it.
Four tiles sit under it:
| Tile | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Left now | How much is on hand today, in barrels. It reads Last count when the beer is due a count. |
| Pouring | The pace a week, and whether it's picking up or slowing. |
| Could be | The likely range of out dates, from busy weeks to slow ones. |
| Next batch | When the next brew is ready, or Brew by: the day to brew so it's ready when this runs out, with Schedule it. |
The How: line spells out the sum: barrels at the last count, minus what's been poured since, divided by the weekly pace, equals the days left. Details › opens the full reasoning.
If the next batch lands after the beer runs out, a note says how many days you'll go without, with Open batch or Schedule it.
When there's no date
| Headline | What it means |
|---|---|
| Count it | At its usual pace it would be gone by now, so the date waits. Count it, or for a beer counted from its kegs, click Scan empties to see its full kegs and mark the kicked ones empty. |
| Kicked and the day | The last count is zero. It says which tap and menus still list it. Mark sold out on menus shows it as sold out there, and Take it off tap 4 (its own tap number) clears the tap. |
| No date yet | Not counted yet, or not enough counts. A hand-counted beer shows First count, Second count, Out date until it has two. A beer off tap on a break also has no date: it says Off tap since the day it came off, with End the break. Putting it on a tap ends the break too. |
A new beer borrows a pace
A beer with no pace of its own borrows one from your other beers of the same style, marked borrowed from similar beers. It switches to its own pace after two drops: counts lower than the one before.
Why the date is what it is
Click Details › for What's on hand, divided by how fast it's pouring, in three steps:
- On hand: how much is left and where, such as 1.5 bbl scanned at Cold Room yesterday, plus 4.6 bbl in BT1.
- Pouring: the pace, worked out from the stretches between counts. Recent stretches count most and are drawn darker. Untick a stretch that wasn't typical and PintDeck opens a burn rate break for those days.
- The sum: on hand divided by the pace is the days left, and how much the pace has wandered gives the range.
At the bottom, Recent counts weigh more over 30 days says how fast old counts fade. Admins set it in Settings › General under Forecast Tuning: Aggressive (7 days), Balanced (30 days), Steady (90 days) or Custom.
Check your data
When something behind the date looks wrong, it's listed under the date with a red dot (the date can't be trusted yet) or an amber one (it's probably off). Hover an item for the details. Each has a button that opens the fix.
| Item | Dot | Button |
|---|---|---|
| 3 full kegs aren't in stock: no place is in stock for this beer, so there's no date. | Red | Put in stock |
| Keg 12 was refilled while still full of this beer (or cleaned while still full). | Red | It was sold counts it as poured; It was dumped records a dump. See why it asks. |
| BT1's 120 gal aren't in the date: the tank's gallons are missing from the count. | Red | Log BT1 level |
| Last counted 5 days ago: a hand count three days old or more, and well past your usual gap. | Amber | Count now |
| Kegs may have kicked without a scan: at its pace, a keg and a half or more should have emptied since a keg was last marked empty. | Amber | Scan empties shows its full kegs. |
| 3 kegs gone Sep 14, 4× normal: one drop far bigger than usual. If some was moved or dumped, record it so it doesn't count as pours. | Amber | Record a draw, set to that day. For a beer counted from its kegs, record the move or dump on the kegs instead. |
| A brew due Sep 20 is still marked planned. | Amber | Review brews, so you can mark it complete. |
Two more show up under Where it is, on the row they're about:
- A place holding full kegs of this beer that isn't in stock for it. It reads Not in stock for this beer · 2 kegs there, with Put in stock.
- A serving tank whose gauge hasn't been read in three days or more gets an amber dot on its row, with Log level.
Some notes aren't problems and show in gray: Borrowing the pace of other … beers, Switched to keg scans or Switched to hand counts (earlier counts still count), and kegs held for canning (in stock, but not pourable).
Where it is
Where it is lists everything that makes up the stock, with a tick on each:
- Each place it's in stock at, with when it was last scanned and View kegs.
- Each serving tank, with its last gauge reading and Log level.
- Counted by hand, with when and Count.
- Held for canning, with Complete run.
Kegs at accounts aren't in stock; a line under the list says how many were delivered. Every keg switches to the beer's kegs one by one. Change picks which places count; see Places and stock.
Below that, Weekly pace shows the last eight weeks, one bar per week. Click a week that wasn't typical to leave it out with a break. Breaks lists the breaks on this beer.
On iPhone
A tap's page on the Taps tab opens on the same Stock tab, with the same date, tiles and Check your data. Sold or dumped?, Count now and Record a draw work on the phone. Logging a tank level, scanning empties and reviewing a brew happen on the web, so those items show without a button. The step-by-step Details › view is on the web only.
