I've gotten past the "I'm not sure if this is right for me" stage and am interested in being being systematic so that I can get repeatable results and learn from each experiment. That means record keeping. And that means keeping a log or notebook.
What does that mean?
What should go into each entry?
What information is important to record?
A lot of times the way things are arranged provides useful information when you take different views and slices through the records. What is a productive way to arrange things?
There are brewing and winemaking templates, and a lot of those seem like to much information in some ways and too little in others. And then there's the stuff distillation-specific stuff - still setup, length of run, how many cuts and how much of each, ABV at the parrot, cask specifics if appropriate, aging techniques (likewise), dilution, etc.
What have you folks found to be useful?
