    Does anyone have experience working with Speakeasyco for online sales? It is $500 a month, and they get a percentage of sales. Still might be worth it. Just not sure.

    Does the pot have an agitator?

    I contacted TTB. Only the DSP receiving the spirits TIB needs to apply for the TIB.

    I should already know this, but... Does the shipping and the receiving DSP both need to apply for a TIB, or does the receiver apply and both use that approval?

    And what is the motivation for the sales team to help generate reorders. If I sold for them I would only focus on new placements. You could get lots of distribution, but loss tons of money doing it. They need to cut that placement amount in half, it would be safer for us and still attractive to the sales team.

    I’m interested in the 3600 L.

    Looking for a used 500-1000 gallon pot still, or whiskey still(maybe 4 plate column).

    I am surprised how big you guys say the boiler would need to be. I have a 9hp boiler and it handles my 500Gal cooker just fine. My still is only 150 Gal. I am actually planning a similar expansion up to a 500 Gal still and was just planning on a boiler double the size. I guess I need to rethink this.

    If most of your product are between 40 and 100 proof, adjust your rinsing spirit to 70. You would need to leave alot in the bottle for it to adjust your bottle proof. I go through maybe 1-2 gal of spirit per 1k bottles. I used to rinse with water and dry, biggest time suck ever.

    wouldn't hydrogen peroxide help? probably needed it predistillation.

    is it possible to store whiskey in a shipping container? Running out of space in the distillery. If we bought land within 10 miles fenced it and put a locked shipping container on it, would that fly?

    Hello, I'm very interested in buying your mash tun. I sent Chris an email last night.

    Is our tax rate going back to $13.50 at the end of the year? Is there talk of making the cut permanent?

    Go with square. It’s easy, gives good reports and you can do off-site sales.

    I appreciate the info. I does taste like absinthe though. I have compared it to two us brands and the flavor is similar. I am using wormword, anise and fennel alongside 5 other herbs with anise being the main flavor. Not bringing it to market soon, just starting to experiment.
  18. B-rad
    Ok, but if it’s not absinthe, what is it?
  19. B-rad
    If I just do a maceration of absinthe botanicals and don’t redistill, what is it. It has the flavor of absinthe but most recipes call for a redistillation over botanicals, is that required? I has a dark brown color after filtering out the botanicals.

    The head space will be beneficial.

    Thanks for all the help guys! I installed a vfd on it and the motor is much quieter. Unfortunately, now I have motor whine because of the vfd. I have tried raising the carrier frequency but at 11 it is still whining and I'm worried about pushing it above that. I read something about skip function but don't really understand it or if it will help. I have also heard I could install a rubber vibration isolation pad to it. Any other info you guys have I would appreciate. Thanks this is the vfd UPDATED 2.2KW VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE INVERTER VFD 220V 3HP 10A HIGH QUALITY

    Sorry for the lack of info, its a electric 3ph motor. I have been running it for over 2.5 years, and its always been loud. Its not a shrieking noise, just sound like a loud electric motor hum. I don't think anything is wrong with it, but I hope it might be something I can fix if there is. If it is working as it should, then I am look to contain the noise. thanks

    Anyone have ideas on how to reduce the noise from my still mixer/auger. Its very loud and we have a super small distillery with a tasting room at one end. I am trying to make it so I can produce and sell bottles at the same time, its difficult with the mixing blade going. I tried building a plywood box around it and it didn't help much, also tried acrylic. Its also hard to tell if it helped at all, after listening to it all day. Any ideas?

    I had a local distiller tell me that someone from the TTB told him to have his unbounded tasting room listed as an office on the application. Said they can't approve tasting rooms on same premises, but unbonded office is ok and once approved they don't care what you use it for. Sounds crazy, but this is the TTB we're dealing with. Thoughts?
