Great starf for a soft ware will follow and keep using to see what features they will add. two thumbs up

Free, User Friendly, color coded, diverse, web based

Features missing could be faster Limited to two users

Overall good. We don't utilize nearly as much as is offered however what we use it for, we like it.

The ease of use, multiple teams can access and see it.

Moving beers around seems to get glitchy, when extending the residence times in tanks sometimes you have to scroll around a lot to find the point in which changing the tank time is allowable

A good intro to basic brewery production planning with plenty of options for the small brewer but more complex and complicated brewhouse-ops requiring a higher level of "work-arounds" to accommodate planning.

With the free price tag this is tough to beat in regards to brewhouse production planning. Aesthetically pleasing and fairly intuitive layout. There is decent amount flexibility and expansion to adapt to most small-moderate size brewing operations. Once you get a hang of user interface workflow becomes increasingly easier.

Seems to still be in Beta phase. A few operation glitches (occasionally planned brewing cycles wont save). On the fly changes due to brewing snafus or irregularities seem cumbersome to accomodate. No integration with other management tools (that I can see)

We love the timeline view rather than the Birds Eye tank view others implement. Brewing is never an exact schedule and being able to shift things around easily is very convenient and effective. We use it frequently in team meetings to forecast production and plan exact dates for product release. It’s amazing in that way!

We’ve had issue expressing our concerns with how the software functions and it being heard by the company. 3 years in and we’ve not seen any of our feedback implemented. We’ve also had many occurrences of batches disappearing or many edits not saved correctly. For the software team: we use icons A LOT and you’ve stated that it’s the corner stone of your UI and keeping it simple. To our point when we started using your system icons were easy in that when we extended or contracted the schedule the icons would adjust accordingly(mainly the packaging days at the end of brites or the transfer days at the end of fermentation), but an update was made a while back and now we find ourselves making A LOT of clicking to keep icons placed correctly. It has made things a lot less convenient. Also, PLEASE make the icon dropdowns alphabetical or customizable order. Thank you!

It's been really great forecasting and planning tool, although our production is getting a little big and complicated for it. Price is amazing for what you get. We have not used the inventory or sales side. It's hard to find software that does this in the correct way for the Finnish authorities. We use another service for this so i have not really looked into it. Search function was not very good. even searching for brew dates or past lot numbers seemed difficult.

Visually, brewplanner has been excellent. We have run Monday morning staff meetings, focusing on brewplanner dashboard for 3 years now. It's easy to forecast and plan brews and packaging runs. We use the notes sections to assign tasks to staff.

Some bugs now and then. Some staff found that their updates (especially notes) would disappear.

Pros: - Organized brewing schedule - Keeps track of inventory - Helps keep track of cellaring activities

Cons: - Can be difficult to navigate at times - Can be glitchy

Easy to understand. Communicates complex issues effectively and easily. Customer support receptive to suggested improvement and troubleshooting. It's free to use.

Sometimes restrictive, would like a great ability to customize to our needs (create new icons, better labelling solutions, more room for notes, better designation of brands beyond the color, etc) - Still seems unfinished and buggy - sometimes resulting in inability to use software.

This replaced Excel spreadsheets. Now, I make fewer mistakes and create the schedule faster.

Makes scheduling complicated fermentation and conditioning profiles easy. Makes it more difficult to make mistakes.

It doesn't print. You can only create one activity per day per beer.
