Complete brewery control, batch by batch.

Cerevantix Brewery Management runs the full craft-brewing lifecycle inside Odoo — recipes, fermentation, tank operations, lab QC, packaging, excise duty, and full batch genealogy — so your production team can retire the paper batch sheet for good.

The problem

Beer production is not simple manufacturing: batches ferment for days, split and merge across tanks, pass through lab QC gates, and become excisable finished goods that must be traceable from raw grain to packaged keg. Most breweries still run this on spreadsheets and paper batch sheets, which makes it slow to prove compliance and impossible to quickly answer “which batches used this contaminated malt lot.”

The solution

Cerevantix Brewery Management gives every batch a single digital record: recipe, fermentation curve, lab results, packaging, and genealogy, with tanks, cleaning logs, and excise duty tracked alongside it. Deviation alerts fire automatically when a reading drifts out of range, so problems surface while the batch can still be corrected — not after the beer ships.

Capabilities

Everything a production floor needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Centralized Batch Dashboard

A single kanban view groups every batch by production stage — draft, brewing, fermenting, conditioning, packaging, done — with ABV, tank, and yield visible on each card, plus a red ribbon the moment a batch shows a deviation.

02

Recipes with Ingredient Lines

Define target OG, FG, ABV, IBU, and fermentation temperature windows per recipe, with ingredient lines for malt, hops, yeast, and adjuncts that populate every new batch automatically and compute cost from standard product cost.

03

Full Fermentation-to-Packaging Lifecycle

Take a batch through brewing, fermentation, conditioning, and packaging with one-click statusbar buttons that lock the tank, track state history, and free the tank for cleaning once the batch is done.

04

Tank Management with Cleaning Logs

Track every fermenter, brite tank, blending vessel, and kettle by capacity, state, and current batch. Log transfer, split, merge, and blend operations, plus CIP and sanitation cleaning events with a full audit trail.

05

Fermentation Monitoring with Deviation Alerts

Log temperature, gravity, and pH readings against each batch. Any reading outside the recipe's target range is flagged instantly and posts an alert with a scheduled follow-up activity for the production team.

06

Lab QC with Pass/Fail Gates

Run configurable QC parameters — gravity, pH, ABV, turbidity, and more — against every batch, with automatic pass/fail results and alerts on any failed test so nothing out-of-spec reaches packaging unnoticed.

07

Packaging & Deposit Tracking

Record keg, can, bottle, growler, and cask packaging lines with quantity and volume per unit, plus deposit container tracking with tax inheritance — deposits are a first-class field, not a workaround.

08

Batch Genealogy & Traceability

Every split, merge, and blend links parent and child batches, and every ingredient line records the consumed raw material lot — so a recall query answers “which finished batches used this lot” in seconds.

09

Excise Duty & Cost/Yield Analytics

Configure excise duty categories that apply tax automatically to beer products, and see cost-per-liter and yield-efficiency computed per batch, with graph and pivot views to compare across recipes and time.

Workflow

How it works

1

Set Up & Configure

Run the guided setup wizard to create tanks, an excise duty category, and a deposit product in one pass, then build recipes with target gravity, ABV, and fermentation windows.

2

Brew & Ferment

Start a batch from a recipe, log fermentation readings as the beer conditions, and let deviation alerts catch temperature or gravity drift automatically.

3

Test & Package

Run lab QC tests against configurable parameters, then package into kegs, cans, or bottles with deposit containers and lot numbers recorded for traceability.

4

Trace & Report

Review full batch genealogy, cost and yield per batch, and print the batch production report or excise duty report whenever compliance calls for it.
