Flexible Volume Units of Measure (override default production volume unit on recipes)

[joshua-quattlebaum]

Our facility functions both as a brewery and distillery, and it would be very useful to be able to designate a different unit of measure when working with distilled spirits products and recipes. Having to convert everything to beer barrels has me dealing with 2-3 decimals, which gets very confusing and tedious for calculations.

If we could assign different units of measure to different tagged products, or perhaps products that are not TTB tracked via brew, ie self duty products.

Thanks for your time and help.

Cheers

Thanks for raising this, Joshua - a first step towards this is now live!

Enter recipe water additions in a different unit than your main production volume unit

Water additions on a recipe now have their own unit dropdown, so a small addition no longer has to be converted into your account’s production volume unit - you can enter 5 gal rather than working out that it’s 0.1613 bbl. Add or edit an Add volume of water action on a recipe (Production → View → Recipes) and choose the unit next to the quantity. You’ll be offered litres, hectolitres, and US gallons/beer barrels, or British imperial gallons/beer barrels if that’s the unit your account works in,…

What isn’t covered yet are the wider things like volumes entered against a batch (adding or reducing the volume in a vessel), but I wanted to highlight this first step!
