Add batch readings: Apparent extract in plato, and Real Degree of Fermentation (RDF)

[christopher-lowe]

I would like to add readings to ‘record batch readings’.

I would like to put in apparent extract in plato, ABV, density in g/ml, and RDF.

Thanks for the suggestions, Christopher.

The good news is that Density in g/ml is already possible. Simply go to Settings → Production settings → Fermentation readings form to enable it.

ABV already has its own feature request thread. It is much more complicated than the others requested, as it will have impacts on other parts of the system (such as duty calculations). Please vote for ABV at Add ABV as fermentation reading type

We’ll follow up when the other options are available. Thank you.

Good news, this is now live in Breww

Batch readings have had a big update. Readings are recorded against the vessel they were taken in, and a set of rules decides which readings each vessel needs and how often. You can vary the frequency by vessel type, status, age or day of the week, use a different reading form depending on the vessel, and switch readings off entirely where they aren’t needed. There’s also a new Batch readings tab on the production dashboard showing what’s due, overdue or done for every filled vessel.

We’ve added a dozen new readings too, including ABV, apparent and real extract, residual sugar, free and total SO₂, malic and lactic acid, volatile acidity, YAN, cell viability and total package oxygen, along with units such as Baumé, Oechsle, Lovibond, kPa and ppm. If we still don’t have what you measure, you can now create your own custom readings and choose the unit and precision yourself.

Full details are in the announcement: Batch readings are now per vessel, on the schedule applicable to each one

Thanks for requesting this, and to everyone who voted and commented along the way.
