Quick Start & Cellar Setup

🎯 Winemaking Goal

Set up your cellar in under 15 minutes before harvest or a new vintage: configure your tank room (Tank room: stainless steel and concrete tanks, barrels and barrel groups, isobaric tanks, on-laths bottle bins Sur lattes, demijohns Bonbonne, eggs/amphoras), enable specialized winemaking modules (Sparkling wines, Fortified wines VDN/VDL, Dealcoholized wines VND), customize reference lists (wine colors including Orange wine, grape varieties, custom alert rules), print your A4 sheet of 48 tank QR codes, and export a local JSON backup.

✅ Prerequisites

• Logged in with an Administrator (Owner) account.
• List of your vessels (codes, capacities in hL or bottles cols, temperature control mode: setpoint °C or flag valve).

🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Review Active Lots and Clean Up Your Tank Room (/lots & /parametres?section=cuverie)

1. In the left sidebar, click All lots (/lots) to inspect all active batches in the cellar.
2. Open Settings (/parametres) and select Tank room (/parametres?section=cuverie).
3. If an obsolete vessel or test barrel group (such as Test120) needs to be removed, click its delete icon: a confirmation modal lists the attached barrels before permanent deletion.

Step 2 — Enable Specialized Winemaking Modules (/parametres?section=actions-auto)

1. In Settings, open Automatic actions (/parametres?section=actions-auto).
2. Alongside standard cellar automations (automatic transition from Must to Wine when declared Dry, automatic MLF tracking on reds, protein stability tracking on whites/rosés), check the 3 specialized winemaking modules according to your estate's production:
   • Sparkling wines (secondary fermentation, tirage, disgorging, dosage)
   • Fortified wines / VDN / VDL (mutage with alcohol, SO₂ or cold)
   • Dealcoholized wines — VND (dealcoholization & microbiological vigilance)
3. Scroll to the bottom and click the purple Save button. A confirmation toast validates immediate activation across the app.

Step 3 — Customize Wine Colors Including Orange Wine (/parametres?section=types-couleurs)

1. Open Settings > Wine types & colors (/parametres?section=types-couleurs).
2. Click + Add color to create Orange (skin-contact white wine), select its amber badge, assign it to the White oenological family, and set its defaults: MLF tracked by default (Yes) and Protein stability tracked by default (Yes).

Step 4 — Create Special Vessels & Print A4 QR Code Labels (/parametres?section=cuverie)

1. In Settings > Tank room (/parametres?section=cuverie), add your specialized containers:
   • Isobaric stainless tank (ISO-01): capacity 100 hL, temperature setpoint (°C), check Isobaric pressure tank.
   • On-laths bottle bin (LATTES-01): type On laths (Sur lattes), enter 6,000 bottles (75 cL format) → Oenologic automatically computes 45 hL.
   • Demijohn (BONB-01): type Demijohn (Bonbonne), capacity 0.50 hL (50 L).
2. Click QR code labels (A4) at the top of the Tank room page to generate a printable A4 sheet (48 vessels, 12 QR codes per page) so cellar operators can scan any tank with their phone.

Step 5 — Custom Alert Rules, Oenological Calculator Hub & Local JSON Backup

1. Review your alert thresholds in Settings > Custom alert rules (/parametres?section=alertes-regles).
2. Open Calculator (/calculatrice) in the sidebar to access all 9 winemaking calculators (Simple calculator, RCM enrichment, Chaptalization, SO₂ sulfiting, O₂ oxygenation, Acidification, Assimilable nitrogen, Unit conversions, Blending / average).
3. Open Settings > Local JSON backup (/parametres?section=sauvegarde) and click Download backup to save a complete local snapshot of your cellar.
