Still Smart

Hi there, welcome to StillSmart!

This website is devoted to home distillation, including tips about fermenting a wash, how to distill safely and effectively, getting better results from your distilling, tips and tricks, technical information and scientific details of the processes involved, etc.

The main focus of the site will be upon the SmartStill/EasyStill range of electric tabletop stills. The reason for this is simple - I own one! I saw that they were available, and I managed to find enough information online for me to work out all the various procedures involved. However, this took me a while and a good bit of trial and error, so I decided to make a website for people who are thinking of buying a SmartStill or EasyStill, or those who have bought one recently and are having trouble getting their head around how it all fits together.

That doesn’t mean that the site is no use to other home distillers - quite the opposite in fact! If there are any articles that are purely aimed at the SmartStill/EasyStill, then those articles have a big graphic at the top to signify as such. Anything else is relevant to anyone who is distilling alcohol at home.

I’m having a lot of fun experimenting with my SmartStill, so I hope that this website encourages you to get hold of one and see for yourself what can be done with it.

If you have anything you’d like to contribute, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to get in touch, leave comments on our articles - the more you tell us, the better we can help you out!
