  1. Hey all I run a distillery and we have a partner RTD company (ownership involved in both companies) that is reformulating one of their RTDs and its label. The new label will include a section saying “made with distillery’s rum”. The rum that’s going to be used is going to be sourced in bulk to the distillery before it’s transferred to the co-packer for packaging. Do we need to do anything to the bulk spirit so that it can be called “distillery’s rum”? How about shipping directly to co-packer from supplier could we still call it "Distillery's rum"? Cheers!

  3. Happy Tuesday Everyone I am looking into importing bulk spirits from Amsterdam to the US as part of a few new products we're developing, and I'm hoping for some suggestions from the hive mind. From what I understand, We need to apply for an importing permit as part of our DSP license Find a customs broker Correctly report our imports on our state and federal reports Correct me if I'm wrong, but I should be able to apply for the importing permit on Permits Online. I have a few referrals for customs brokers, but suggestions are always welcome! When it comes time to report imports to the feds, do we have to file additional reports on top of our normal production, storage, processing, and excise tax reports? Cheers!

  5. Good Day Everyone! We've decided to off load some of our barrel stock. We are a small distillery specializing in Rum. Attached is our barrel inventory list, it ranges from rum we fermented on site and has been aging for 5 years to some Venezuelan rum that's approaching 3 years in Bourbon casks. There is a fair amount of French Oak finishing in the mix. Take a look at the inventory and shoot me a DM with any questions. Thanks, James Davidson Island Getaway Rum Barrels.xlsx

  8. Hi All, I just distilled distilled my first batch of rum. I was doing the stripping run and noticed a smell (not so much taste) of burnt sugar. Wasn't the sweet smell of caramelization. My molasses based batch fermented to 1.016 and I and wondering if there were too many sugars left over from the ferment which caused this. Another possibility is that I heated the still too fast and the sugars burnt. I wondering if anyone else has dealt with this before and any suggestions people might have. Thanks in advance.
  9. Going about making my first dunder mash. Have read that 20-35% of next mash should be composed of dunder. Should same ratio of molasses / gws / H2O / yeast from original mash recipe be used or does it need tweaking in some fashion? Wondering what others have found. Thank you!
  10. I'm prepping to start on a Rum. From my reading it seems that of the sugar content in Molasses only ~52% of it is fermentable. How should I calculate the gravity of my wash? Should I divide the sugar contribution from the molasses in half or take it as is?
  11. Hi Guys, I've got myself a stuck fermentation and I'm looking for some suggestions. My fermentation situation was/is not exactly optimal from the beginning but I'm working with what I've got and trying to make it happen. Now for the info-dump: 4 fermentors. All with nearly identical specs (I will give metric ranges for simplicity) 3/4 have stalled. 1300 gallons of wash in each. Each tank was filled ~650gal, given 10 days, then topped off. (I know this was not optimal) All washes began between between 1.083-1.087. All washes fermented out to approx 1.006 before the fermenters were topped off to 1300 gallons. Each 750 gal batch consisted of: 600 gal Water 1666 pounds Light Brown Sugar 7.12 pounds DAP 100 gal rum backset 200 gal Voss Kveik/Yeast Slurry Each batch was sent to the fermenter at 95-97F I am fermenting in non-jacketed plastic tanks, so no heating/cooling. 2 of the ferments have now stalled at 1.022 and one has stalled at 1.015. The part that get me scratching my head is that all of the tanks did just fine with the first ~650 gal, humming right along no problems. I would consider flocculation, however all of the second-fills were done from the bottom port so yeast would have been stirred up. Thanks in advance for any ideas/fixes.
  12. I have attempted several times to get confirmation from the TTB to no avail so I am hoping you can assist. I have started a rum distillery. We are not ready to bottle so thought we would put in new and/or used oak barrels; however, I don't know if we need to get formula approval. The rules state formula approval is required before production. The rules state Formulas for rum are only required if harmless coloring doesn't exceed a total of 2 1/2 percent by volume of the finished product. How will I know if it exceeds if I can't put in the barrel first. Your insights would be greatly appreciated! D

  22. Hello everyone, First, thank you for such a great community you all have created here. I am a recent chemical engineering graduate with no experience in distilling spirits other than from school labs, and drinking the Puerto Rican moonshine "pitorro". I have been researching the rum making & history, and found Rafael Arroyo's papers, thanks to Boston Apothecary. Looking forward to start this learning journey researching Arroyo's heavy rum production technique. As of right now I own a SS 13 gal, 3 inch diameter packed (copper mesh) still. Will be working with local sugar cane molasses and will be researching the C. saccharobutyricum and possible other bacteria. Thank you for your time, I know there is a vast amount of information and research already done and I will appreciate any guidance your all can provide. ' Regards, Edgared

  24. I am currently in the process of developing a white rum. I have previous experience producing a lighter rum on a smaller 6-plate column still, however, this time I would like to produce something with a fuller flavor. From experience and some lurking I have a general idea of how to accomplish this, I am just looking for some pointers or suggestions. So far I have ran a few stripping runs through our 240 gallon pot still and collected around 50 gallons of 90-100 proof low wines each run. We have a 50 gallon 6" column still with modular plates that I want to use for a spirit run. My current plan is to run 2 plates and reflux for an hour or so to compress the heads, make a suitable heads cut, then stop coolant flow to the dephlegmator and run the hearts more or less like a pot still. My main questions would be: What should I dilute the pot to? I was thinking ~50 proof; should I go lower? Currently I just want to focus on distillation parameters.
