  1. Hi guys, After failing funding in 2018 on my other project we are finally back for a new venture here in Texas and this time around things look very promising. I have been back at building a business case for our seed funding round and I have a pretty good picture where I believe we are aiming to be. At the moment we are looking at two alternatives Alternative 1: 20 BBL HLT, 10 BBL Mash house, 4 10 BBL Fermenters and 250 Gal Hybrid Still Alternative 2: 40 BBL HLT, 20 BBL Mash house, 4 20 BBL Fermenter and 500 Gal Hybrid still Right now it really down to marketing and funding strategy on the sizing but in the mean time for utilities I took the decision that we will probably size for alternative 2 altready upfront. However the numbers I have gotten for Steam and cooling seams kind of unreasonable to me. I so far only have one offer for each but I figured I would reach out to you guys to see if anyone has any comparable numbers: We aim on running both the mash house and the still simultaneously Cooling: Glycol cooler + cold water skid + buffer tank: 70,000 dollars. 50 HP boiler + startup support: 115,000 dollars. I also cannot recall number i used last time for actually piping the things but for a 20 BBL system with a mashhouse still and 4 fermenters what would you consider in labour and parts for boiler piping and glycol assuming the utilities are max 50 feet away? Any input will help as this is defintely a significant portion on the investment. /Jonas
  2. Hi, We are a group of guys who are planning on opening a Nordic Craft Distillery in Texas. We have looked into equipment and we know more or less which suppliers we would like to use as well as annual initial bottle capacity. I have been in the process to build a capacity calculation on what equipment we need but I wanted to reach out to see if anyone on here has already done something similar and if you would be willing to share? It would be nice to have something where you can put in your annual volume targets and calculate it all the way back to the mash. Of course yield will vary greatly but to build the business case it would be good to have something where we can do a rough calculation. We are primarily going to focus on single malt whiskey long term but we are also planning on making Akvavit, rum and vodka, hybrid still. I appreciate anything you can support us with. /J
  3. Hi, We are a group of guys who have been talking about starting our own Nordic craft distillery in Texas. The Burbon scene is quite mature down here and apart from a few vodka distilleries there is not a whole lot more different craft distilleries around. Myself being originally from Sweden I believe there are some great new spirits I would like to bring to the US such as Schnapps, mulled Wine and nordic style single malt whiskeys. We are currently in the very early steps to build a business case and I wanted to join here to read more about what other have done and hopefully be a part of this community. we are planning on running a wide style of products but are looking for a Islay style pot still set up with a hybrid column reroute in order to also do high end vodka based products. starting small for us is key. please feel free to recommend any equipment suppliers you guys recommend as well as TTB lawyers in the North Texas region. looking forward to learn more on here /J
