Built around your craft
Software for craft breweries
From grain to packaged beer — scale recipes, track every batch and tank, and keep stock and alcohol reporting in one place.
Your workflow in fermt
Your brewery, end to end
From recipe to package
Scale recipes up and down, track fermentation batches and tanks, manage packaging materials, and keep alcohol volumes reporting-ready.
Compliance, handled
Alcohol reporting, built in
Track ABV and volumes per batch and generate the alcohol reports you need, without separate bookkeeping.
The same beer, again, without the same admin
A brewery's problem is rarely a one-off. It is the fiftieth run of a core beer, where the recipe is settled and the cost of the process is the paperwork around it. Recipes hold the inputs, expected yields and process activities, and a production flow chains mash, ferment, condition and package into one managed workflow generated from the recipe tree — so a repeat brew is planned once and recorded properly every time.
Multiple outputs matter here more than people expect. Spent grain, trub and yeast crops are real materials with real destinations, and a recipe that supports several outputs lets them be recorded on the order that produced them rather than adjusted in afterwards or ignored.
- Recipes with expected yields, reused across repeat brews
- Production flows chaining mash, ferment, condition and package
- Co-products such as spent grain recorded on the order that made them
- Tank and vessel tracking through the same container records distilleries use
Duty and packaging, the two returns nobody enjoys
Excise is charged on pure alcohol, so the return depends on volume and strength together. fermt buckets volumes into your own duty bands using the batch's measured ABV, reports pure alcohol volume and average strength per band, and lists anything outside every band explicitly instead of rounding it into a neighbour.
Packaging is the other recurring return. Because packaging material types carry a weight per unit, the EPR report totals glass, cardboard, aluminium and the rest by weight across everything you sold — which for a brewery moving cans and bottles at volume is otherwise an annual spreadsheet exercise built from product specifications.
Questions we get
Brewery questions we get asked
Can we reuse a recipe across many brews?
That is the normal case. A recipe holds inputs, expected yields and process activities, and each brew is an order against it, so the fiftieth run is as quick to record as the first and they remain comparable.
How do we record spent grain and yeast?
As additional outputs on the recipe if they have value or a destination, or as waste transactions if they do not. Either way they are recorded against the production that created them.
Does duty use our actual ABV?
Yes. The batch's measured strength is used where there is one, falling back to the product's standard strength only when there is not, and volumes are bucketed into duty bands you configure.
What about EPR packaging reporting?
Packaging material types carry a weight per unit, and the packaging report totals material weight by type across sales. For cans and bottles at volume that turns an annual reconstruction into a report.
Do you track tanks?
Yes, through the same container records used for casks: contents, age, location and movement history, so what is in which vessel is a record rather than a whiteboard.
