Wine & Brewery Tracking
Built for wineries, breweries, cideries, and fermentation-focused producers.
Wine and brewery tracking in CatOps covers the full production cycle — from receiving fruit, juice, malt, hops, honey, or other ingredients through fermentation, packaging, and compliance reporting. Track wine gallons, beer batches, fermentation logs, and finished goods with complete traceability.
Fermentation visibility is built into the batch tracking system, not bolted on as an afterthought. Every batch, transfer, bottling run, canning run, or kegging record connects back to production and inventory.
Unlike generic beverage software that treats fermented products as simple inventory items, CatOps understands the production workflow: ingredient receiving, fermentation stages, transfers, blending, packaging, and compliance reporting.
Capabilities
Wine gallon and beer batch visibility
Track fermented products through every stage of production.
Wine gallons, beer batches, cider batches, mead batches, and similar fermentation records are tracked from receiving through fermentation, blending, packaging, and shipping.
Batch tracking
Follow each batch from fermentation to finished goods.
Each batch has a lifecycle record: ingredient receiving, fermentation start and completion, transfers between vessels, blending operations, bottling, canning, or kegging. The batch history shows every step with timestamps and user logs.
Fermentation logs
Record fermentation activity and progress per batch.
Log Brix or gravity readings, temperature, fermentation start and completion dates, and other fermentation milestones. Track the progress of each fermentation batch over time for quality, analysis, and compliance.
Packaging logs
Track bottling, canning, and kegging runs connected to batches.
When product is bottled, canned, or kegged, the run connects to the source batch. Track cases produced, loose units, fill checks, keg counts, and losses.
Compliance reports
Generate foundation compliance reports from your production data.
Wine, beer, cider, and fermentation production data feeds into compliance report foundations. CatOps does not file reports for you, but it gives you the data organized and calculated.
TTB connections
Link fermentation production to TTB reporting and lot numbers.
Batches connect to lot numbers, finished goods, and TTB reporting data. When a compliance officer asks for production records, you can pull up the complete chain: receiving, fermentation, packaging, and shipping.
Tank and vessel management
Track product by tank, fermenter, bright tank, barrel, or vessel.
Know what is in every vessel at all times. Transfers between vessels are logged with quantities, so balances stay accurate.
Blending records
Document blending operations with component tracking.
When products are blended, components and proportions are recorded. The resulting blend has full traceability back to each component batch.
Why CatOps is different
Vs. Spreadsheets
Spreadsheet wine tracking means separate tabs for fermentation, bottling, inventory, and compliance — all disconnected. Wine gallons are calculated manually. Trace-backs take hours. CatOps connects everything and calculates wine gallons automatically.
Vs. Generic Beverage Software
Generic beverage software does not understand wine gallons, fermentation stages, or TTB wine reporting. It treats wine as a liquid product with a name and a quantity. CatOps understands the full wine production workflow.
Vs. Winery-Specific Software
Winery-specific software often costs $500-$2,000/month and requires long implementation cycles. CatOps provides wine tracking at $249/month with guided onboarding. The wine gallon tracking and fermentation logging are included, not premium add-ons.
How this reduces labor and errors
Wine gallon calculations
Manual calculations in spreadsheets for every transaction, prone to errors
System tracks wine gallons automatically on every batch, transfer, and bottling run
Fermentation tracking
Paper logs for each tank, manually entered into spreadsheet at end of day
Log fermentation activity directly in CatOps, data connects to batch and compliance reports
Compliance report prep
Compile data from multiple spreadsheets and paper logs, hours of work
Run wine compliance report from CatOps, data already organized and calculated
Tank inventory
Check spreadsheet for tank levels, hope it is current
View real-time tank levels in CatOps, always accurate based on transfer history
Common Questions
Does this support breweries and cideries too?
Yes. The fermentation tracking workflow supports beer, cider, mead, fruit wine, and similar fermentation-based beverages. Fermentation logs, batch tracking, packaging records, and lot connections are all compatible.
Can I track wine gallons separately?
Yes. Wine gallon visibility is built into the batch tracking system. Every transaction shows wine gallons alongside other measures.
Does CatOps file TTB wine reports?
CatOps does not file reports automatically, but it organizes and calculates the data you need to prepare and file wine reports. The compliance report foundations give you a head start.
