Hello Everyone,

Thanks for your inputs. After further studying various articles, I too realised that the prices quoted in the article are higher plus the scenario 2 does not exists. 

• Now if we just compare use of commercial enzymes with malted barley. how would the raw material cost would vary?

• What would be the amount of raw materials required (in pounds) considering 1000 gallon is the target?

Also, i got to know that using commercial enzymes increases the overall yield and hence the amount of raw materials (corn and rye required) is less. Can you help me with calculating the amount of corn and rye required for manufacturing 1000 gallons using commercial enzymes (may be 1 oz or amount used for producing 1000 gallons bourbon whiskey)?

Your inputs would be very helpful.

Regards,

can you share your email id or email me at deepak.panwar@thesmartcube.com

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to understand cost implication of either using commercial enzymes (instead of malted barley) or not using anything (no enzymes or malted barley) in bourbon whiskey production

Following are the 2 scenarios that I am trying to study:

• What would be the impact on the raw material cost, if we use commercial enzymes instead of using malt barley?
• What would be the impact on the raw material cost, if we do not use any commercial enzymes or malt barley?

Based on some research, i identified one article containing details of raw material composition and cost associated with bourbon whiskey production.

Can you help me in understanding how will the 2 aforementioned scenarios change the cost?

Regards,

Deepak
