Has anyone confirmed whether the TTB is on board with this? I'm also considering this as an idea to reduce initial capital investment, but reading through the DSP regulations yesterday has me wondering if it's technically allowed. The CFR made it sound like mashing must be done under the DSP.

My current career is capital equipment / production engineering. I'm well versed in the multiply by 2 experience!

I've browsed some of this already, but thanks for the NAICS information. I was not aware of being able to pursue that route.

I'm having a hard time getting approved for a SBA loan or having investors given two years without revenue. I've started doing something similar, my concern is just when someone asks me to justify my sales forecast and I go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow, thanks everyone for the responses, this blew up fast. I'll try to go through one by one.

Hey everyone, I'm in the midst of writing a business plan for a small distillery with tasting room. I have a solid image of what I want to do and approximately the startup size, but I have no data to create a sales forecast. I could ballpark numbers, come up with a couple scenarios, but even then I'm just spitballing it. For those that have dealt with this issue, how did you develop a sales forecast? I tried contacting the state division of liquor control to get my hands on statewide sales data, but they've been unresponsive. Any tips or advice? TIA!
