Palmetto Coast Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 We have a program with a local University, in which they refer interns to us. They recently referred a student to us that was under 21. That brings up some problems legally here. He is from Brazil and legal to drink there (not that it matters). Thoughts on how or if we could utilize him? Can't really do distilling, as he would have to taste. Not sure we could use him for sales, since he won't be able to adequately describe the taste. He is a Chem. major at the college and has access to a gas chromatography lab. Thanks, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedd Haas Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Check your state law. Does it allow people 18 and over to work in bars? If so, you may be ok. If not, then pass. Regardless, I think having anyone under 21 working in a distillery is more trouble than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Jed's right. Under 21 is more hassle than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AlchEmist Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I may be a little late on this but I've been a rectifier since i was 19 years old. There was was a bit of concern at the beginning, but i was legally allowed to process spirits although i was under 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dehner Distillery Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 We have a 16 year old lady that helps with general stuff, including bottling. We have a contract with her. Her parents signed off also per our lawyers suggestion too. Iowa is a "Right to work state" so that helps out, probably more with free help. She is great help. Every one else is over 21. If you are unsure, don't take the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
