Read full description

StillLog is the dedicated distillation run journal built for home distillers who are serious about consistency. Whether you're running a pot still, reflux column, or thumper setup, StillLog gives you a structured way to track every batch from mash day through to aging. Log your still runs jar by jar with one-tap cut classification. Mark each collection as foreshots, heads, hearts, or tails, and record proof readings, volumes, temperatures, and sensory notes as you go. Watch your proof curve take shape in real time so you can nail your cuts with confidence. StillLog tracks your full batch lifecycle โ€” from mash and fermentation through stripping runs, spirit runs, and into the aging phase โ€” so you never lose track of where a batch stands. Save and reuse your best mash and wash recipes. Record grain bills, yeast strains, target gravities, and fermentation temperatures, then link them to actual run outcomes so you can iterate and improve over time. Built-in calculators handle the math for you: dilution (how much water to cut your spirit to target proof), ABV from gravity readings, and temperature-corrected hydrometer readings. A complete glossary of distilling terminology is included for quick reference โ€” from foreshots to feints, low wines to parrot readings. All your data stays on your device. No account required, no cloud sync, no tracking. Just open StillLog and start logging. Built for the home distiller who wants to stop guessing and start refining their craft.
