Undo Racking / convert from keg into smallpack

[aly-mathers]

Hi there,
I am needing help or advice on how to undo racking (3rd party contract brewed).
The batch was to be split between 50% keg and 50% can - however it was mistakenly racked 50% to keg twice.
I cannot use the undo function as it states that some of the kegs have already been invoiced, but this is only correct for the initial half batch and I also receive this error message:
“This action’s parent vessel is not empty or is filled with a different parent action.”

Is there a way to undo the racking of kegs and covert into smallpack (in a similar way to disassembling multipacks)?

If you can’t undo it, maybe:

How do I rack directly from a container into another container, such as a minicask, keg or bottle?

In Breww, you can rack directly from a container, such as a keg/firkin/kilderkin/pin, to another cask/keg or to a smallpack container, such as a bottle or can. This tool can also be used to simply transfer beer between containers if needed. Go to Containers → Actions & tools → Rack from containers and follow the steps presented.

Also,
there’s a related feature request that (if implemented) would allow a workaround for this.

Empty containers back into a vessel/tank (e.g. to allow blending two different packaged products to make a new beer)

Yes, you’re right that this isn’t currently possible. I’m going to merge the two related threads here as that will combine the votes and I feel that putting containers back into a vessel is the right way forward here for both requests. If anyone else is looking for this, please give it a vote now with the button in the top-left.
