  1. 7x 2 years 8 months 5x 3 years 7 months
  2. I have 4 brand new 30 gallon barrels from ADK Cooperage. Level 3 char. They're individually wrapped and also wrapped on a pallet, ready to ship. I picked them up from the cooperage about 4 weeks ago and filled the same batch last week with no issues. $1,600 FOB 12513.
  3. Update on inventory: All 30 gallon barrels are sold along with 1x 25 gallon. 13x 25 gallon barrels remain 8x are 2 years 3 months 5x are 3 years 2 months Asking $23,500 for the remaining lot.
  4. I have 20 barrels of New York State farm distillery compliant bourbon I'm looking to offload. Made with 100% New York grains. Barrels: 14x 25 gallon, 6x 30 gallon. All level 3 char. Mash bill: 75c 21r 4m Proof: Entered at 125 (current samples have been measured near that proof) Age: 2 years, 2 months (filled 8/21) This would be great for a new farm distillery looking to bring compliant aged spirits to market quickly. Will sell in barrels or breakdown into totes for easier transport. Wanting to sell as a lot. Asking $35,000 for the lot.
  5. Did you find the juice you were looking for here?
  6. I've used Packlane with good results.
  7. Go through my junk mail! I swear I get 5 flyers a day.
  8. I'm currently using 1 micron poly filter bags for just about all the spirits I bottle. A few spirits in particular (with fruit in them) are having some trouble with passing through those filters and more seriously, are showing some sediment in bottles. It seems like maybe a filter press is a good option instead of spending half a day trying to get 55 gallons through a series of prefilters and wasting $100-200. My time is what I really need back. I already have a pretty sturdy mash pump. And I'll probably be doing batches of anywhere from 30-150 gallons at a time. Anyone have any thoughts on using a press for this application? Thanks
  9. I've had the exact same timing issues. Along with the bogus surcharges.
  10. I'm just starting to age in a temperature controlled environment for the first time and would like to hear the opinions here as well.
  11. Depends on the supplier. Everything is tighter post-pandemic. It seems to me, sales people are very comfortable using the 'limited supply, order lots now' tactic even if supply is full. Prices are higher. MOQ from saver is a pallet or two, but they're absolutely awful to deal with. And there's no more on-the-spot buying. You have to order 6-8 months in advance and hope they can get their act together and deliver. Burch has been fair with me. MOQ is super low but I order big to lower shipping cost per unit. For custom- it seems like a $10k fee for set up and 50,000 units annually guaranteed, or somewhere around there.
  12. Over the last 2 years, I've had comically bad experiences with Saverglass. They've never had good customer service, probably because I only order $30,000-$50,000 of bottles per year, but the level of customer service is abysmal. They've messed up my last 2 big orders and essentially tried to shift the blame to me. Then told me there's nothing I can do about it and I'll have to wait until next year for the bottles. The last 2 shipments I've received damaged and there's essentially no recourse. They've double charged me on occasion and are just generally awful at creating a good business environment. This is, bar none, the worst professional business dealings I've ever experienced. But no one makes the bottle I need besides them. I'm between a rock and a hard place. Has anyone else has bad experiences with them or did I just land the worst contacts/situations?
