agporte Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Like many I’ve been following the boards for a couple years now working on opening our dream microdistillery. I’ve learned so much from these forums and they've been a huge resource for us. I’ve tried to give back when possible, and will try to contribute more and more as I learn from my experiences. I’ve never done a formal introduction and it’s been long overdue. My wife and I are currently waiting patiently for our DSP to be approved (143 days to be exact) for Doc Porter’s Distillery. We will be a grain to grain distillery located in Charlotte, NC around the corner from a couple great breweries (Olde Mecklenburg Brewery and Sugar Creek Brewing Company) and a soon to be distillery as well (Great Wagon Road Distilling Company). We're going to start out with a 100% NC wheat vodka and then move into whiskey and gin with locally sourced ingredients. Renovations have been creeping along and equipment should be arriving soon. If all goes well we hope to be in production in April. If any of you are in Charlotte and want to check on our progress drop me a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsuranceMan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Andrew!!!!! Great intro my friend, I cannot wait to watch your distillery grow for the many years yet to come.

MG Thermal Consulting Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Hello and good luck! I lived in Charlotte for a bit (my favorite place was the Cajun Queen downtown). I work out of NE Atlanta and hope to have some equipment in down here soon, but if I can help you out on your chillers or carbon filters for spirit filtering along with the activated carbon media, let me know.
