What’s Brewwing? - May'26

This month’s updates focus on making important information easier to see when you need it most.

From spotting differences during a brew day, to keeping product information organised and making everyday processes clearer, these updates are all about giving your team better visibility without adding extra admin.

Here’s what’s new...

Production and quality control
See if today’s brew is on track at a glance

When you’re in the middle of a brew day, the earlier you spot something unexpected, the easier it is to understand what’s happening.

Readings on your brew sheet, including gravity, pH, temperature and more, can now show a comparison against up to your 10 most recent batches of that beer.

Your current reading appears alongside previous batch data, your target line, and red, amber and green threshold bands.

Hover over any point to see which batch the reading came from, how long ago it was, and the exact value.

The comparison appears automatically wherever a reading has a target and input variable set, and updates live as you save.

Less jumping between previous brew sheets. More information where you need it.

Spot off-target brewing readings instantly
You can now set targets and acceptable deviation bands on your recipe readings.

If a value falls outside those limits, Breww will highlight it directly on the brew sheet. These readings are also brought together in the new Alerts tab on the production dashboard, giving you one place to review anything that needs attention.

System defaults are ready to use straight away, with options to customise them or adjust individual actions where needed.

It’s another way to keep important checks visible during production.

Products and deliveries
Merge duplicate products

It happens. Products change, setups evolve, and sometimes things end up duplicated.

You can now merge duplicate products together from any product page, combining their stock, sales and history into one.

This works for accidental duplicates, as well as products that should have been created as aliases or derived-at-packaging products. A small tidy-up tool that helps keep your product information clearer.

Choose which products are auto-assigned to deliveries
Sometimes certain stock needs handling differently.

You can now stop individual products from being included when Breww auto-assigns stock to deliveries.

This can be useful for special releases, hand-picked stock, or anything you’d prefer to allocate manually.

Simply enable “Exclude from auto-assignment to deliveries” on the product.

Customers and account management
Automatically generate customer references

As your customer list grows, keeping information consistent becomes more important.

Breww can now automatically generate a unique reference for every customer, lead and supplier you add, whether they’re created manually, imported via CSV, or added through your accountancy or sales platform integrations.

These short reference codes make it easier to identify accounts internally and connect them with external systems.

You can turn this on or off under Customers → Settings & tools → Customer settings.

Production dashboard improvements
Updated vessel floor plan display

Following the launch of vessel floor plans, we’ve made a small visual improvement to how vessel information appears.

Vessel names now sit underneath the vessel visual rather than over the top, keeping fill information easier to see.

If you’ve already created a custom floor plan and have vessels positioned very closely together vertically, you may need to adjust the layout slightly.

If you haven’t created a custom floor plan yet, there’s nothing you need to do.

Smaller updates and improvements
Production terminology updates

We’ve updated some production terminology ahead of future production improvements.

“Reporting tags” are now called “Input variables” and “Calculated fields” are now called “Calculated variables”.

They continue to work exactly the same way as before.
