News from The 5th Ingredient

Pelican Brewing is fortunate to be growing rapidly. This growth has stressed systems that historically provided visibility of liquid staging & migration… We still handle inventory, invoicing, and accounting function through an MRP/ERP. We completely decouple batches from the MRP, track essential data through Beer30, then send finished goods back to the MRP. It’s easy to do, with far fewer keystrokes. ” [Read More]

Beer30 has helped us minimize spreadsheets, paperwork & redundant data entry while increasing data accuracy, lot traceability and accountability. The handshake between operations and finances also gives us the ability to pinpoint inefficiencies and effectively address them. Beer30 continues to positively influence operations in our brew house, cellar, lab, packaging floor and finance department.” [Read More]

We were after a solution that would not only track costs and progress of the brewing cycle, but also inventory and invoice integration with our accounting software (Xero). Needless to say we were stoked to find this solution already exists with Beer30!” [Read More]

The NZ excise tax reporting is cumbersome and expensive. Now instead of spending 3-4 long days tracking sales and correlating each sale to the ABV and volumes it is literally a 2 click process and more importantly our confidence level is very high that there are ZERO ERRORS! The cost savings is realized by labor savings alone. ” [Read More]

Beer30 has taken our production to the next level. At Your Mates Brewing Co, we tried unsuccessfully to onboard with other inventory systems due to long winded on-boarding processes.

From the moment we saw it and had a look through, we loved the system. Its brewery side features are brilliant, intuitive and comprehensive. … What really blew us away was the speed of implementation. 24 hours from decision to go with Beer30 and we had loaded our inventory, stock, what was in our tanks and set up for packaging. Then 36 hours after decision, we were brewing with the support of Beer30.” [Read More]

With so much going on with brewing operations, it’s giving us visibility into what we have in every tank at any point in time. I get notifications via text and email as tasks are completed based on settings that I have provided.

... From raw materials and the brewing process, through finished goods and packaging, Beer30 provides the real-time information that is needed to make decisions and keep the beer flowing!” [Read More]

As a Brewer, Beer30 has made my job much easier. Things such as a live inventory of all Raw Materials have helped us plan out the brewing schedule with ease. So many times before Beer30 we would scramble at the last minute to find substitutes for grain that we thought we had, causing us to push back brew dates and move things around. Frustrating, I know. Many other programs we have used in the past were not as user friendly, and we spent more time fixing bugs and learning the software than brewing itself.” [Read More]

The startup for Beer30 was pretty seamless for me. An easy walk through with PK on the demo was enough to feel confident I could operate the software. I love the depth of data that I can provide at my own discretion on a recipe. The flow of materials and process is super simple and makes tracking a breeze. A few brews in and I was very familiar with how things move throughout the system. ” [Read More]

Beer30 is a new approach to software, designed for a new approach to making beer and running a brewery. Over the past year, Beer30 has grown up with us. Originally just used as a Brewing log, we now use it in every aspect of our business, from taproom to distribution, to brewing and production.” [Read More]

Bucha30 was a real game changer for our business. Having the history of that continuous brew right there, being tracked at all times is invaluable. I can see every action that’s been done with it and the information is easy to read. ...There really isn’t anything that can replace the value of this kind of service.” [Read More]

Questions are always answered almost immediately, the onboarding was easy and fast, and they are always open to suggestions and hearing how brewers/ businesses actually need the software to work. Even to the point that after asking a question, that day or the next they have made a change to the software to make it easier to use or address a need we had. They have never told us, "we can't do that", they find a way. ” [Read More]

Switching from Ekos to Beer30 has been a no-brainer for us. The ability to see a development roadmap and get really active support has been a game changer... Very cool stuff. Finally, a brewing software that we're excited about! ” [Read More]

Beer30 was an instant upgrade over our previous brewery management software for one simple reason: it’s software that brewers actually want to use. Layer in fantastic support from the team at The 5th Ingredient, their desire to constantly make their software better, and the iterative approach to releasing new features, our switch to Beer30 was one of the best decisions we have made in our short history.” [Read More]
