What this sheet is for

Keep the oldest container next on and nothing sold past the brewery's date, with a week-end count of full stock, empties and returns that a stock take can use.

Who it is for

Cellar staff, bar managers and licensees in pubs, bars and clubs selling draught beer from kegs and casks.

How to use it

  1. Enter each keg or cask on delivery with its size and the brewery's date on it.
  2. Write the date it was stillaged or vented and the date it went on sale.
  3. Record the date it came off or emptied, and when the empty was returned.
  4. Note ullage, fobbing or out-of-date stock in the last column for the brewery.
  5. Count full stock, what is on sale, empties and returns at the week end.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: The cellar's kegs and casks as they arrive, are stillaged or coupled, go on sale and come off, so the oldest is always the next one on and nothing goes past the date the brewery put on it. How long a cask needs on the stillage is the brewery's figure for that beer, not a number printed here: write the dates and the sheet becomes your own record of how long each one took.

Questions

Why is no conditioning time printed for cask?

Because how long a cask needs on the stillage before it is fit to sell is the brewery's figure for that beer, and it varies. The sheet records the dates it was stillaged and put on, so your own record of how long each took builds up.

How is this different from the Stock Rotation and Date Check Sheet?

That sheet is for food and dry stock in a kitchen. This one follows containers through a cellar, with stillage, sale and empties dates that food stock does not have.
