  1. Hello everyone, This is my first time posting on the forum. I had this crazy idea about a year ago about opening a distillery in AZ. I figured, "Hell, we don't have any distilleries! Brilliant!" Turns out I was wrong, we did have several and several more have popped up since my ground breaking concept. Fast forward, I took a distilling workshop a couple months ago, and although it was a bit of a come to Jesus moment, it didn't scare me off. I really want to work in the environment, to be sure I actually enjoy it, before I fully commit to this path. I went to a local distillery, they're a pretty successful local business. When I spoke with the manager, I inquired whether or not there were any positions available for either an unpaid apprenticeship or distiller assistant. She was quick to inform me she had no say in matter, that I would have to talk directly to the owners. Instead of leaving it there, she said, in a very matter-of-fact manner, that their distiller had his master's in chemistry. Without even knowing my background, I found her response a bit insulting and dismissive. Though I have no doubt that a chemistry background would help in the process, I'm assuming creating a good product comes down to trail and error along with collaboration and brainstorming. Are all of you formally trained in the sciences? Or is there plenty of room for those who are interested and competent, just not officially scientists?
