  6. Denver Distiller, We are preparing to order a few wood fermenters, do you have any recommendations on suppliers. We have spoken to 4 different folks and prices are all over the place as well as opinions on types of wood to use. Any input you, or anyone else, are willing to share would be much appreciated. Thanks!
  7. Hey Folks, is anyone using a AP362 on slightly tapered bottles? I see it says it will work on them but I was wondering if anyone had first hand experience on how well it actually works? Thanks

  11. Bluestar, I have to decide on a floor coating asap and I was wondering if you could share the name of the product you wound up using? I have been getting quotes for covering a 3000sf space with some kind of epoxy slurry coating that would cost about $50k........obviously not happening. I would love to find something I can apply myself. Thanks.
  12. I have done multiple SBA loans for various business ventures including the distillery I currently have under construction. You are welcome to PM me for more details. I went through a SBA facilitator at my local Self-Help Credit union. He assisted in helping me get all my documents together and then helped me shop local banks, since i expressed I would rather deal with a local or small regional lender. He was able to feel lenders out prior to having me meet with them to gauge their interest in this type of loan so there were not a lot of wasted meetings. I wound up with 3 lenders giving me proposals and then I was able to negotiate the best deal from them before deciding on one. I purchased my building so I was able to do a purchase/construction loan to do al lthe upfit I need. These loans are nice because they can be a 90% value loan based on building appraisal. I did a second SBA loan on equipment. These are good because they can ammoratize the loan our longer on equipment than usual bank terms and have a great interest rate. One downside of SBA can be if you want to transfer your loans down the road because you decide you don't like the bank you are with or if you decide you want to pay it off early, there can be substantial penalties.
  13. I was just researching this same thing earlier today! Is anyone out there using super sacks? If so, how are you moving the grain to the mill? I am trying to decide between multiple storage options, a small silo is one but that seems like a pain in the butt and wasted labor to move grain from a sack to a silo then to a mill. I am considering an auger straight from the super sack which seems like a great idea. I have also seen rack systems where you can hang the sack ( or 2) over the mill and feed directly to the mill then auger to the cooker. Anyone have any expereince with that kind of set up?
