  1. Linkedin Job Post -- Click here to apply Come join an awesome culture where you can develop some of your own spirits while making some of our core products. It's a great opportunity!
  2. Have someone to contact there? We're looking for a 2000L 600gal mashtun.
  3. Agreed with above, interested if you have specs and info. Food grade etc?
  4. We have a repurposed dairy tank we've had around for awhile. Worked as a Frankenstein mash-tun as we were figuring out what we were doing the first couple years. Its ~1500L capacity 400 gallons. Has a working high hp (I believe 5hp, need to check) low gear mixing paddle about 50-60rpm (mounted on center). It does have a jacket which we filled with water for cooling. The jacket is NOT pressure rated and has internal large dent see photo, no leaks. With a little ingenuity you could direct steam inject. Located: Kalamazoo Michigan, ideally local pickup SOLD
  5. YES Thanks this is what we all needed!
  6. FDA policy/comments and advisory https://www.fda.gov/media/136118/download
  7. We have a ADE 500gal hybrid Vodka spirits still. We’re looking at adding a gin basket And would like to see folks set ups, how they fit it in, where in the line etc. etc. pics!!
  8. Looking for first hand accounts of distilleries using an online retailer to help you expand your brand. The few companies that come to mind are Thirsty, Drizzly, or Caskers. There's probably more, but interested in feedback. Cheers
  9. Code issues are a buz and biz killer. And agreed with the past comments. Everywhere you go they're different. Our local code officials have no idea what they're doing. We usually have to educate them, and hope for the best.
  10. This is pretty incredible. Anybody get a bottle? That would be one heck of a keep sake.
  11. Interested in a few items. But the photo links aren't broken. Thanks for sharing.
  12. Awesome thanks! I'll be in touch soon.
  13. Packaging looks great guys!
  14. Hey Stumpy, Can you provide some photo of the 550 gallon to Josh @ GD distilling dot com
  15. Ethanol detection system was requested by our local building officials. Also a 3rd party inspection of our still since they didn't understand that it wasn't a pressure system.
  16. Can you answer the following questions? And maybe members can chime in afterwards. Rural or suburban location? Tourist area? Walking distance to other attractions? Selling bottles out of the tasting room? Cocktail bar or just samples? Distribution in the first year or just the tasting room? Selling merchandise in store and online? Selling the tasting room as a venue? The list could go on.... but i think that might be enough to throw some ballpark numbers around.
  17. I'm curious too if anyone has feedback on tasting room staff pay scales. Managers vs mixologist(bartender) etc.. Cheers
  18. Interested as well. We've all heard so many comments on both sides of the fence about this equipment. Cheers
  19. Groupon has helped us a lot. In 2 months over 130+ vouchers for tours sold. Agreed on the general consensus of Yelp. Its not worth it. They also try and convince you to pay them to take off bad/OK reviews.
  20. We use distillery solution still house for our production software. They have a built in tour booking/payment system that integrates to your website. So it's a win win, we use it every day in production, and every few days for checking tour bookings. Cheers
  21. We have had great success with this model, and have been open for 2 months. One thing we do different is scratch made cocktails in the tasting room as well. We currently do tours on FRI/SAT/SUN which has been really helpful in getting new people in. The cocktails/tasting room brings in enough regular attention by it self. Our top 5 sellers includes 3 cocktails and the other 2 are our only 2 bottled spirits (white whiskey / honey whiskey). To date, bottle sales and cocktails have brought the largest revenue. Merchandise has maybe been a 1/10th of the revenue volume. Hope that helps.
