Production Procedure

Overview

The Production Procedure screen enables users to setup the process steps that happen on a brew.

Summary

The Production Procedure screen holds all the data for the step by step process that you go through during a brew, which is then displayed on the Brew Sheet. The Production Procedure is linked to the BOM for each wort item, and can be accessed directly from the BOM or from the Main Menu.

What has Changed in OBeer 3.0

The Production Procedure functionality has been completely rebuilt in OBeer 3.0

Production Procedure can replace your paper brew sheets that have the steps in the brewing process printed on them.
