Tools for curious practice

The Lab is
open.

Working tools built from studio field practice: seven calculators, a spirit and botanical pairing matchmaker, a cocktail menu builder, a self-serve brand diagnostic, and two Himalayan Lab Recipe Guides. More arrives as the practice grows.

An open invitation

Make more deliberate
decisions.

The Lab turns our field thinking into useful working material: calculators for botanical infusion ratios, non-alcoholic balance, dilution and ABV, batch costing, shelf life and storage, acid adjustment, and cocktail menu building, a spirit and botanical pairing matchmaker, a sensory direction diagnostic for brands, and two guides of tested Himalayan recipes. Every tool is free to use with a free account — no card required. A paid Studio Membership is entirely optional and adds one thing: a synced Field Archive that saves your work, exports it as CSV, and follows you across devices.

Or one at a time

Every tool, on its own.

Digital tool01 / Live now

Infusion Calculator

Build a full recipe from one or several botanicals — get a shopping list, timing, and a spirit-pairing read in seconds. Compare methods side by side, print a batch ID and jar label, and keep a CSV log of every infusion.

Balance Calculator

Turn the studio's five-lens balance framework into a working ratio for any base — body, sweetness, acidity, bitterness, and aroma, calculated in seconds. Save the build as a preset, export your log as CSV, and send it straight to Costing, Shelf Life, or Acid Adjustment without re-entering a thing.

Batch & Costing

Scale any recipe to a batch and see what it actually costs to pour — with a suggested menu price at your target pour cost. Built for bartenders and menu builders. Save costing presets, export a CSV batch log, and pass a build straight through to the Menu Builder — or pull one in from Balance, Dilution, or Acid Adjustment.

Digital tool04 / Live now

Sensory Direction

A first-pass sensory direction brief in the studio's own vocabulary — a working hypothesis and a way into a deeper brand collaboration. Save the brief, export it as CSV, and check it against an actual menu's flavor and spirit-family mix through a two-way handoff with the Menu Builder.

Digital tool05 / Live now

Dilution & ABV

Bring a spirit down to pouring strength, hit an exact batch volume, or blend two spirits — with pour-style ice-dilution presets, common spirit ABVs on tap, and clean-bottle batch rounding. Compare two batches side by side, keep a CSV batch log with batch IDs, and send a finished dilution straight to Costing or Shelf Life.

Shelf Life & Storage

You built the batch — now know how long it keeps, and what would make it keep longer. Straining, chilling, sealing, or fortifying, each quoted with the real figure it would buy you. Compare storage methods side by side, keep a CSV batch log, and send a result straight to the Acid Adjustment Calculator when acidity's the fix.

Acid Adjustment

Acid-adjust a mild juice up to lemon or lime strength, build a precise citric/malic/tartaric acid solution, or scale a batch of Super Juice. Save a solution as a preset, export a CSV batch log, and pass a build straight through from Balance or Shelf Life on to Costing.

Pairing Matchmaker

Start from a spirit or from a botanical, ranked either direction. Where a pairing is weak it tells you the third ingredient that bridges it, why that mechanism works, and the obvious wrong move to avoid. Save a pairing as a preset, compare two side by side, and send a top match straight to the Infusion Calculator or the Menu Builder.

Cocktail Menu Builder

See a whole drinks list at once — the price ladder, the spirit-family balance, and a Star/Plowhorse/Puzzle/Dog menu-engineering read once you track popularity. Compare two saved menus side by side, export the list as CSV, and pull a build straight in from Infusion, Pairing, or the Sensory Direction Diagnostic — or send a drink out to Acid Adjustment or the Balance Calculator.

Fermentation Calculator

Vegetable brine ferments, kombucha, wine, and kefir in one tool — salt and sugar ratios, sulfite dosing, and timing for each, from studio field practice. Save your own presets, tag each batch with a batch ID, and keep a CSV log across every ferment.
