Overview

Using the scheduler to schedule batches/brews before depositing them into the tank will allow your brewery to make changes before depositing the brews into tanks.

Once your brewery has scheduled brews/batches, your brewery can use the Material Planning Report to identify what materials will be needed to brew.

Brewing events, as well as other events will appear on the schedule. Non-brewing events can have an event type; the event types for your brewery are configurable.

You can choose how to view your calendar by using the Calendar|Agenda switch.
