virtuoso Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Considering becoming a distiller? Virtuoso Distillers is going to be offering its 7th annual intense 1 day distilling workshop . Testimonial from ADI Forums “Something that really impressed me was how open and honest Steve was concerning his processes and recipes. He gave us information about his processes that no other commercial distiller I've ever met would disclose. I have no idea how Steve can offer this seminar at this low of a price, but I'm very happy I got to be part of it!” - The class is being updated so it will include all the previous materials and a beautiful unit geared to the small and medium size scale commercial distiller. The trend has been moving to distill with a tasting room and local distribution environment and our new unit will fully address this We will discuss the history and theory and chemistry of distilling, and demonstrate the actual process of distilling going from un ground grain to glass with all the steps in-between. all of the demonstrations will be live while there will be power point visuals you will be able to see all the processes take place in real time .
