ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers, no sales gloss. If yours isn't here, ask us directly and a human answers.

What is mystill.co, in one breath?

A production logbook and a set of physics-honest calculators for working distilleries. You plan a distillation, charge the still, log the run as it happens, and the yields, energy cost, excise position and cost per bottle fall out on their own. It runs your still by the numbers; you still run the still.

What does it cost?

$49 a month, in USD. Pay annually and you get 3 months free: $441 a year. Every plan starts with 14 days free before you pay anything, and you can cancel in two clicks from your billing page. One price, every tool, your whole team.

Can I try it without giving you a card?

Yes. The free demo runs the full app and saves nothing you enter. No card, no account. When you're ready to keep your records, start the trial.

Are my recipes private?

Completely. Your recipes, runs, costs and stock levels belong to your distillery and are visible only to the people you invite. We never publish them, share them, sell them or fold them into anyone else's numbers. The botanical library is public reference material; what you do with it is yours.

Which countries does it work in?

Excise regimes are built in for Australia (ATO), the United States (TTB, in proof gallons), the United Kingdom (HMRC), Ireland, New Zealand and Canada, each with the reliefs that actually exist. Distilling somewhere else? Everything still works: you get metric units and set your own duty rate on the excise page.

Where do the excise numbers come from?

Every rate is dated, editable and linked to the authority that sets it, and the app tells you when a rate may have moved. Duty is worked from your logged litres and ABV, not estimates. But figures here are planning aids, not tax advice: your excise office and your accountant have the last word.

How honest are the still calculators?

The pot and column simulators run real vapour-liquid equilibrium, the same physics your still obeys, with no lookup-curve shortcuts that fall apart near the azeotrope. Every number is traceable to the model or to a run you logged. When the model can't know something, it says so instead of guessing.

Can my team use it, without seeing everything?

Yes. Invite people from the Team page and tick the tasks each person picks up: a bottling hand gets dilution and the ledger, a storeman gets the pantry and deliveries, a distiller gets the still and the run log. Everyone signs in with their own email; whoever set the account up keeps the full checklist and hands out unlocks.

What happens to my records if I leave?

They're yours. Export your runs as JSON or CSV from your account page any time, subscribed or not. Cancel and your data sits untouched; come back and it's exactly where you left it.

Something's broken. Where do I yell?

Right here. Bug reports and technical errors go to the top of the pile, and you'll get a ticket reference straight back. Telling us what you did, what you expected and what happened instead usually gets it fixed in one round.
