Step 3: Advanced (Read Time: 1 min)

• Advanced Settings
  • Specify your evaporation rate, average cut yield, average pounds per bushel.
    • The evaporation rates are built into the original setup.  You can change as you feel necessary.

• • Set whether you distill multiple spirits or require consumables in your distillery. 
    • Activation of the Distill Multiple Spirits is NOT typically advised and should only be activated if legitimately separate spirit types are being routinely produced during a single distillation run (based on TTB class/type definitions). Please contact [e-mail] before activating this setting to determine if it should be applied.

• • Treat Dumped Barrels: Generic or Individual.  
    • When dumping barrels, if you want to increase the raw material inventory for that empty barrel stock type, select Generic. To treat each dumped barrel as a unique asset (and not as a raw material) where you can refill specific barrel numbers from the "Manage Dumped Barrel History" page, select Individual. (Most distilleries will choose Generic.)

• • Transaction Post Date
    • This feature that enforces the idea that accounting periods are "closed" after a reasonable time.
    • By default, we set it to 2 months.

• Activity Numbering

  • The 1's above are rolling numbers that Whiskey systems keeps track of for you. 

  • You can start any of the "Next Numbers" as any numeric number. Many distilleries start them all at 1 unless they already have internal counters. All of the Next Run #'s are numeric values only (no special characters). They work as incremental counters and will keep increasing every time you make a transaction. You can change any of the "Next Numbers" at any time if the counter is out of sync with your numbering.

  Note: If at any time any of the Next Numbers are different then your internal counters, you can change the Next Number and it will display that number on the next transaction.
