There are two buttons on the opening dashboard that allow you to record and analyse samples taken from casks.
1 – All Samples List
2 – Cask Stats AFTER Sampling
All Samples LIST
This list allows you to see a complete list of all the samples ever taken – in one searchable list – If you were wanting to enter the data associated with a series of samplings from a variety of casks this is probably where you would do it. Simply click on the blue button and then you will be presented with the following list.
To add a new sample press the button marked ADD NEW
You will be presented with a screen similar to the following.
It is best that you ensure that you match the sample up to a cask number all casks whether private or non private are listed in the drop down box so scroll down the list until you find the relevant cask. When happy with the result press save.
Cask Stats AFTER Sampling
This screen allows you to view the samples taken from casks by cask. Clicking on it lets you see all full casks.
As it stands in the example database here there is only one cask which has any samples against it. That is cask CFID – 58. Doing an advanced search using CFID equals 58 we get the following return.
Most of the columns are the standard Full Cask information inherited from the cask fill record. I would draw your attention to the middle columns that show aggregate all samples for an individual cask and present them as a summary and delete the litres sampled and the litres of pure alcohol from the original cask.
Once all samples have been entered in here accurate statistics of present bulk and lpa per cask can be obtained from this list.
