Control Your Brew: BinTrac Accurate Grain Inventory

Let’s Make Every Pour Count: Smarter Grain Inventory with Bin Weighing Systems

In brewing, consistency is everything. From grain to glass, every ingredient plays a role in the final product. That’s why more breweries are turning to bin weighing technology to better manage bulk grain inventory, improve accuracy, and reduce waste. With BinTrac bin weighing systems, brewmasters can truly make “Every Pound Count.”

Know Exactly How Much Grain You Have

One of the biggest challenges breweries face is managing bulk grain inventory stored in outdoor bins. Guesswork, manual measurements, or unreliable level sensors can lead to running out of grain mid-batch or over-ordering inventory.

BinTrac® systems use patented load cells installed on each leg of the storage bin to measure the actual weight of the grain in real time. These load cells can be installed on new bins or retrofitted onto existing bins, making it easy for breweries to upgrade their inventory management without replacing equipment.

Improve Brewing Accuracy with Automated Batching

For breweries looking to improve efficiency and consistency, an optional batching controller can automate the unloading of grains into the brewhouse. This allows for accurate, repeatable grain batching, reducing manual handling and ensuring each brew starts with the correct grain quantities.

Automation not only saves time but also helps maintain recipe consistency—an essential part of producing high-quality beer batch after batch.

Monitor Inventory and Usage in Real Time

With the BinTrac indicator, breweries can easily monitor:

• Current grain levels

• Usage over time

• Past fill events

• Inventory trends

The indicator can be mounted directly on a bin or installed up to 250 feet away, making it convenient for brewers to check inventory from inside the brewhouse. Data can also be integrated into remote monitoring software, allowing inventory tracking from a computer or mobile device.

A Better “Weigh” to Brew

Better inventory visibility leads to better brewing decisions. By knowing exactly how much grain is on hand, breweries can:

• Prevent production delays

• Reduce ingredient waste

• Improve purchasing and inventory planning

• Maintain consistent recipes

• Save time and labor

Bin weighing systems provide breweries with the data they need to run more efficiently and brew with confidence.

When you know your inventory, you control your process. And when you control your process, every batch — and every pour — counts.
