Fermentation Tracking & Watchlist

Log the readings. Let the watchlist tell you which tank needs you.

The challenge

A stuck fermentation found on day 3 is a correction. Found on day 14, it is a salvage job.

Most wineries discover fermentation problems by luck, on a routine check that happened to catch something. Without a consistent reading record and something scanning it every day, you are relying on memory during the busiest weeks of the year. By the time a stall is obvious, the options are worse and more expensive.

How Vinni helps

Built around the way you actually work.

Readings in seconds, from anywhere

Record Brix, specific gravity, temperature, pH, and TA from the batch page, the vessel, the ⌘K palette, or by telling Vinni in a sentence. Each reading is timestamped and shown on the vessel.

A wine-at-risk watchlist

Vinni flags a gravity that has plateaued before dryness, a tank with no reading in four days, and temperatures outside your configured range. Each flag comes with a suggested action and is ranked by severity on your dashboard.

Ask Vinni about the trend

Ask how the Cabernet is doing and the answer is built from its actual readings, your protocols, and your target ranges, not a generic textbook reply.

Completion feeds your TTB report

Record fermentation complete and the produced gallons book to the right period on Form 5120.17 automatically. It is the single biggest thing that keeps production on the correct report.

Watchlist flags appear on your dashboard and in reports. Vinni does not send email or push notifications.

How it works

Simple by design.

01

Log a reading

Enter the numbers from the cellar floor or your phone. Vinni timestamps the reading and updates the vessel's current values.

02

The watchlist scans every day

Plateaued gravity, quiet tanks, and out-of-range temperatures are flagged on the dashboard and in the watchlist report with a suggested next step.

03

Act, then mark it complete

Warm, stir, re-inoculate, or simply keep watching. When the wine is dry, record fermentation complete and the TTB math takes care of itself.

Fermentation Tracking & Watchlist is one part of a complete platform.
