  1. Hi folks, 5 year newbie here, cannot seem to get away from the 50hr week job that pays the bills long enough to pursue. However, in reading some of the topics here I wonder about the feasability of an operation which sources the distilled spirits from a number of local distillery's currently in operation. Allowing me to bottle and market. My question: could I blend, age, bottle, etc at my shop or do Feds require that all to be done where the product is distilled. I would like to create some uniqueness with the actual taste (aging?) and recipe (re: blend) at my shop. Thank you in advance to anyone taking the time for a helpful response.
  2. repost from a while back Hi, I am researching the possibility of purchasing a small quanity of personalized product for my retail store. I have particular interest in corn whiskey, bourbon & vodka in that order and would prefer a low price-point for my customer base (seasonal area). In an ideal world in would be a mixture of the above for a total of 10-20 cases and a NY product. If this need matches any member resources please let me know. Feel free to contact me on the Adirondack Moonshine facebook page. Bill

  4. Thanks all. All positive feedback is really,really appreciated. I have a concept and a market niche that I feel strongly about. I am not a distiller, I do not own a farm, I do not have family in either of these fields and I have no partner. I am however very determined. It is very confusing (unless money is not an object) as I try to evaluate and balance classes, consultants etc. while reading anything I can get my hands on with my ebay still in the basement. This site is mostly non-judgemental and really terrific for established folks. But I have been working as a Senior Manager for a Fortune 500 company for nearly 20 years and still feel like an idiot most of the time! Thank you again Johnathan, Paul etc. for taking the time. Kindest regards, Bill
  5. Is any equipment from a micro-beer brewery translate to a distillery? http://www.collarcityauctions.com/11172008...nDay/index.html
  6. I am trying to put this finishing touches on my biz plan and wondering about equipment costs. Looking to produce corn whiskey and traditional whiskey to start. Really like the conversations I have had with Hoga about thier stills and I think I have a line on bottles but I am still fairly vague on a complete equipment list. Any help would be appreciated. Bill
  7. Anyone have any insight as to what the zoning requirements are for a distillery? I know my local NY agencies get involved but I thought there might a standard or uniform minimum (e.g. C-1??)
  8. I am a beginner looking for some training on the art of Artisan Distilling. We have what we feel is a terrific idea, a solid business background, and reasonable funds but zero experience as distillers. Other than the still-kits I purchased on the internet how does one get started? I did see one @ MSU in April but have a scheduling conflict. I am from NY and think with the laws here I might best start by re-packaging an existing product...
