So I sent this same ramble to the TTB and a couple of other people I hoped could help me. One of which was Shawn Patrick of Hoochware, who responded extremely quickly, and was incredibly helpful to me, despite me not yet even being one of his clients. Can't speak highly enough of the guy. Other than a few numbers I typed incorrectly, which I corrected on the OP, #1-4 were correct. Here's a bit of what he had to say on #5 " Line 25 is correct, it's for the On-hand end of month total for Bulk Spirits sitting in vessels waiting to be Processed (mix, blend, bottle, etc). Line 46 is on-hand end of month of packaged (bottled) Finished Product. Again, these totals for both lines (25 & 46) carry over to the next month. Here is where I believe a misconception of losses can be reported incorrectly. If you have a tank with 100 proof gallons and you bottle all of it except .75 proof gallons then this is recorded on Line #24 on the processing report (Part I). Line 45 (Shortages) is for when you do your monthly inventory count of Finished Product (bottled) and you find a discrepancy. Line #30 is for gains during inventory count" Hopefully this will help someone, struggling as much as I was.
