Operations: Using Simple Syrup and Flavorings

There are two methods to account for simple syrup in DISTILL x 5:

1. Add Simple Syrups or Flavorings as Raw Materials:

• Navigate to Inventory / Overview
• Click +Add Item in top-right of screen.
• Enter the following details: 
  
  • Category: Raw Materials
  • Reporting Type: Not Reported
  • Track By: Volume
• Save Item

2. Add Sugar as Raw Material, and account for Water via Recalibrate

• Navigate to Inventory / Overview
• Click +Add Item in top-right of screen.
• Enter the following details:
  • Category: Raw Materials
  • Reporting Type: Not Reported
  • Track By: Weight
• Save Item
• Account for Water via Batch Action / Recalibrate

Both methods will require users to gauge spirit after sugar additions. Use Batch Actions / Recalibrate to account for any changes in proof and/or volume. Dx5 will not account for changes in volume or proof when adding recipes/formulas/ingredients to a batch.

NOTE: Blending sugar and sugar products into spirit requires the use of one of the TTB-Approved Methods of Proofing. Frequently used methods can be found here: https://www.ttb.gov/spirits/proofing.shtml
