How BarrelLogic works

One record.
Six specialists.
You approve.

Ask in plain language and get your data back as tables and charts, with the work drafted. One ledger from block to bottle, the 5120.17 drafted from it, and nothing runs until you approve.

The specialists

Each specialist has a job.

Specialists are job scopes, not people. Each reads its part of the record, answers in your units, and drafts the work for your approval.

“Schedule racking for Lot 24-CS next Tuesday.”

The cellar answers in barrels, not menus.

Cellar knows which barrels hold Lot 24-CS, what their last readings were, and that Tank 3 is open Tuesday. It drafts the work order — barrels, sequence, crew — with the chemistry that justifies it. Approve it, and Operations schedules the crew while Compliance logs the transfer.

Built on

  • Chemistry — pH, TA, VA, free and total SO₂, Brix, malic and more, charted against your own vintages
  • A cellar map: every barrel and tank, colored by status, with its full history
  • Blend trials, sensory sessions and bottling runs — fill, breakage, dry goods
  • Cost per lot across eight categories, and lineage from block to bottle
