Stillbench puts a proofing calculator at the distillery bench
A focused toolkit for small distilleries, with calculators for spirit dilution, batch costing, bottle economics, and production planning.
- For
- Small and craft distillery owners and production teams
- Worth noticing
- The free proofing calculator estimates water required from volume, current ABV, and target ABV.
Field notes
Stillbench combines a browser-based proofing calculator with a paid toolkit aimed at repeatable distillery operations. Its example covers a 500 L batch yielding 666 bottles, with per-bottle cost and gross-margin figures, while the site explicitly limits the calculators to theoretical estimates that require verification under actual production and compliance conditions. The project says its tools were developed through day-to-day work at Ryes & Shine Craft Distillery.
