Still Smart

Today sees the launch of the new StillSmart discussion forums, a place to talk about anything and everything with your fellow distillers. You can access the forums by clicking the link on the far right of the menu bar at the top of the page.

Please do get involved if you can - every discussion and answered question makes this into a better resource for everyone. All are welcome, from seasoned distillers to absolute beginners - don’t be shy about saying hello and asking questions, that’s the best way to learn.

If you have a Gravatar set up, your image will be displayed next to your posts in the forums, on this site and any other which is Gravatar enabled.

One more thing - when you register for the forums, your login will also work for leaving comments on the main site - this saves you having to log in twice. Aren’t I nice to you all?

Let me know what you think, or if you find anything that you think might be a bug - and enjoy the forums!

Hi everyone! This is just to let you know that we have setup an Amazon store featuring lots of books and other items that may be of interest to the home distiller. I must point out that we are not selling these ourselves, we just collected the Amazon items into one place for your convenience. However, we do get a small commission if you buy through our store, which goes towards supporting this site.

Here is the link - enjoy your shopping!

Hi everyone!

Another update on the progress we’re making. We’ve been working hard on a very detailed guide to fermentation, taking lots of great pictures of every step of the process. This batch is almost ready to go, which means that I should have time to finish the write-up while I’m slaving over a hot still! We’ve got a really good clean wash, so hopefully the advice we can give will be of great help to somebody out there. Never mind that though, we’re running out of drinkable product so I’d better get distilling soon!

The next guide after fermentation will be a step-by-step walkthrough of the distillation process, using the EasyStill/SmartStill home distiller. It can be quite daunting when you first have to put all these concepts into practical use, so again this guide should be very useful to many people. Does anyone have any requests for further guides after that? Feel free to leave them in the comments, all suggestions and feedback are welcome!

Hi, welcome to Still Smart. We’re still working on the site at the moment, but soon it will be your number one resource online for users of the EasyStill home distillation device. Keep checking back often, or subscribe to our RSS feed, and if you have anything you’d like to contribute then please get in touch!
