Bucha30 was a real game changer for our business. Having the history of that continuous brew right there, being tracked at all times is invaluable. I can see every action that’s been done with it and the information is easy to read. When you have a continuous brew it’s easy to let it go for a couple of weeks. But when you have this software tracking its quality, you can see the data and it encourages you to take action. And it links with inventory and accounting, as I can see the associated cost of harvesting the SCOBY and repitching the SCOBY. 

Bucha30 also makes it really easy to go back and look at brews - and do analysis of flavors and taste and how it fermented out. It encourages us to constantly look at ways to increase quality and figure out what’s working - and what’s not. 

One thing I know I’ll struggle to find anywhere else is the responsiveness of The 5th Ingredient team. If I have a question and I’m sweating it out at 10 o’clock at night, stressing about a problem - they are there. I don’t know how much sleep they get! But the response time is generally 15 - 20 minutes. There really isn’t anything that can replace the value of this kind of service.

We switched to Beer30 from Ekos about two years ago and it has been a smooth process since the day we signed on. The onboarding process was user friendly, easily navigable, and the Beer30 team was always there with a quick response to any questions or concerns.

Beer30 offers a customizability for every aspect of the brewing process making it a program built, not only for brewing in general, but for your brewery specifically. Parts of brewing, like inventory (of anything and everything), purchase orders, recipe creation, distribution invoicing, barrel inventory and actions, reports, batch comparisons and repeatability, and even production planning became so easily operational and streamlined into one program that is simple enough for every member of the brewery and management team to be able to tell what is happening on all fronts.

The intricate details of the program allow us to have a trail of every data point, tasting note, and quality assurance test throughout each batch's life and it feels like we continue to find more and more ways to utilize the program to make our day to day more streamlined.

Finally, to top it all off, I can't express how important customer service is and they have the best. Questions are answered within minutes with step by step instructions on how to fix or find something and they take every customer complaint/request and actually act on it, which means constant improvements to the program.

Switching from Ekos to Beer30 has been a no-brainer for us. The ability to see a development roadmap and get really active support has been a game changer. The team at Beer30 has been incredibly responsive to our needs and it feels like we're partners, not just a customer. It's a better system for doing things brewers need to do and it's nice to know that we can get excellent support. The guys at Beer30 don't just help us fix a problem or send us to online support articles, they actively work with us to discuss workflows and help identify how to use Beer30 to reach our goals. Very cool stuff. Finally, a brewing software that we're excited about!

It was clear from our first demo of Beer30 that this software is different. We were ready to make a change from Orchestrated Beer and the brewing knowledge and customer service focus of the Beer30 team was a huge selling point for us. With their support we were up and running VERY quickly and the integration with QBO was smooth. Because Beer30 is built around the brewing process, our brewers have embraced the software – this was not the case with Orchestrated Beer. We finally have real-time information-rich brewing data available in one place (and that place is not a clipboard). We are excited about continued process improvements and data analysis as we partner with Beer30 moving forward!
