StillSmart – Monthly Access

Meet StillSmart – your always-on AI assistant for craft distilling.

StillSmart is a monthly, members-only AI assistant built on Distillery University’s 15+ years of training, resources, and real-world questions from thousands of students. It’s designed to help you cut through the confusing parts of starting and running a distillery so you can move faster and make fewer costly mistakes.

Whether you’re still in the planning phase or already producing spirits, StillSmart gives you clear, practical answers in plain English—any time you’re stuck.

What StillSmart can help you with

Use your StillSmart access to get help with things like:

• Licensing & regulations (guidance only)
  Ask about federal, state, and local requirements, common application questions, and typical pitfalls for new distilleries so you can prepare more confidently.
• TTB forms & compliance basics
  Get plain-language explanations of confusing terms, lines, and reporting concepts so you understand what information is being asked for and why it matters.
• Production & operations questions
  Ask about mash bills, fermentation basics, distillation concepts, aging considerations, bottling questions, and general workflow ideas—especially if you’re coming from outside the industry.
• Labeling & product concepts
  Get high-level guidance on how to think about label elements, statements, and product definitions so you can have more informed conversations with designers, attorneys, or compliance specialists.
• Learning support alongside DU courses & Workshops
  Use StillSmart as a study and planning companion while you work through Distillery University courses, hands-on Workshops, or your own self-study.
