Every litre of alcohol lost to waste is margin gone. A few habits meaningfully improve yield.
Recycle your feints
Heads and tails (feints) still contain good alcohol. Redistilling them in later runs recovers it without compromising your hearts.
Tighten your cuts
Over-cautious cutting throws good hearts into feints. Consistent, data-informed cuts capture more quality spirit — see making the cut consistently.
Reduce maturation loss
The angel's share is waste too. Warehouse and cask choices influence it.
Cut packaging waste
Track rejects in bottling runs and investigate causes.
Measure everything
You can't improve what you don't measure. Track yield per run and across batches with distillery KPIs. Live still data helps too.
CaskPilot tracks yield, feints and losses so waste becomes visible — and fixable.
