During the day we will go through all the processes from grain to glass with a hands on approach. you will see the actual operations. Our last class had all of the participants feeling they gained a wealth of knowledge and what they most appreciated was actually seeing all the stages required not just hearing about them or seeing pictures. we have a comprehensive video presentation with a booklet of all the slide you will see. Our Equipment includes a 600 liter Holstein Still with 2 towers and a total of 21 plates. The course will be from 9 to 5. To cover everything, it has go for the full time. There is a pizza lunch provided. The course will center on vodka production but Whiskey will also discuseed as well as liqiours. the items that will be cover are., A very short history of distilling grain grinding grain cooking grain fermenting mash distilling determining heads , tails and hearts still maintaince and cleaning bottling maintaining TTb standards for alcohol proof TTB reporting Types of stills. Last time one of the student wrote us before the class questioning if we could do it all in one day after the class he said we we really did it! we are Virtuoso Distillers (you can find us at 18Vodka.com) 4211 Grape rd Mishawaka IN46545 574 876 4450 We have a planed maximum of 16 seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestar Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 This is a very reasonably priced course, well crammed with info, and in a day you get to see a full grain-to-glass production of a rye-based vodka in a craft scale distillery. Even though I had taken other courses before, I felt this was worthwhile to see Steve's approach to his operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smith1cj Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I also went to this class recently. Very much enjoyed the class as well as all the people who attended it. I have read a lot of info on distilling and the class brought it all together. I would recommend it the class especially for beginners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
