Batchmother manual

Batchmother is production planning and traceability for small breweries. It answers the two questions a brewer asks constantly: when and in which vessel does this batch fit, and where has this batch been — from brew day, through fermenters and brite tanks, to the last keg out the door. Your recipes stay in Brewfather; Batchmother owns the calendar and the trail.

The plan and the traceability record are the same thing here: you plan a batch's path through your vessels, and as the days pass, that path becomes the batch's history — down to a printed L-code on every lot that can be traced back in seconds.

Chapters

• Concepts — the thinking behind the app: chains, statuses, runs, L-codes, and the trace-level ladder. Start here.
• Getting started — the whole road once, from an empty brewery to a traced lot.
• The Board — the timeline and agenda views: reading capacity, following the days.
• Batches — creating batches, building chains, events, and packaging.
• Trace & recall — trace levels, the completion gate, the lookup, and recall work.
• Configuration — every setting, from brew capacity to the label checklist.

The manual describes the current version of the app — it ships and updates with Batchmother itself.
