Very Noob! to distilling and had a question about production time and yearly output of a basic whiskey.
Using the example/diagram from the ADI Craft of Whiskey Distilling on page 30
1. Mash-Lauter 950 gal wash.
2. Ferment 950 gal 9% wash. Also Why use the two secondary tanks for brite beer?
3. Two stripping runs (no plates) in a 450gal wash still. yeilds 290 gal 35% low wines.
4. Three spirit runs in a 90gal still. Head and tail cuts yeilds 100gal 60% hearts for barreling. Say 2 years aging.
5. Dilute to 40% for bottling.
what are the average production time for each step?
and how much could you produce in a month with this equipment setup and process if you're brewing/distilling an average 40 hour work week?
Thanks!!!
