Recipe Management

Create and manage distilling recipes with precise botanical ratios.

Recipe Definition Types

Per Litre of Charge

Most common method:

• Define grams of each botanical per litre of liquid in still.
• Easy to scale for different still sizes.
• Example: "12g juniper per litre of charge".

Per Litre of LAA (Litres of Absolute Alcohol)

For precise alcohol-based calculations:

• Define grams per litre of pure alcohol.
• Useful for consistent flavor regardless of charge ABV.
• Example: "30g juniper per LAA".

Per Batch

Fixed recipes:

• Define total grams for a specific charge volume.
• Best for exact replication.
• System can scale if needed.

Creating a Recipe

1. Go to Recipe Management → New Recipe.
2. Enter recipe name and spirit type.
3. Choose definition type (per litre or per batch).
4. Add botanicals with amounts.
5. Save for future use.

Using Recipes During Distilling

1. Start new distillation batch.
2. Select recipe from dropdown.
3. Enter your charge volume.
4. The system automatically calculates:
   • Grams of each botanical needed.
   • Total botanical weight.
   • Checks inventory availability.

Recipe Scaling

Per Litre Recipes

Automatically scale based on charge:

• 100L charge = 100× the per litre amounts.
• Maintains consistent botanical ratios.

Per Batch Recipes

Can be scaled proportionally:

• Enter new charge volume.
• System adjusts all amounts proportionally.

Best Practices

• Create recipes for your signature products.
• Test small batches before scaling.
• Document any recipe changes.
• Include notes on technique or timing.
• Review and refine recipes based on results.

Managing Multiple Recipes

• Organize by product type.
• Use descriptive names.
• Mark active/inactive recipes.
• Keep experimental recipes separate.
• Share recipes with team members.
