Rectifier  

Rectifier's License (class B) – a rectifier may purify or combine alcohol, spirits, wine, or beer, may make gin and cordials, may blend and reduce proof. A rectifier may not distill. A rectifier has no cap on annual production. A rectifier may sell any liquor it produces and/or any New York State labeled liquor.

Since I only hold NY farm licenses for distilling and brewing beer. I have no idea the laws/regulations around other licenses. 

Barcart is $200.00 per month.

Accelpay was quite a bit more. But, I was able to negotiate that down to match Barcarts pricing with a 2 year contract. With a setup fee of $500.00. One of the benefits of having Accelpay is they can sell merchandise on there platform. 

Am I missing something? 528 gallons at 10.5% alcohol means there are 55.44 gallons of 100% alcohol going into the still. 110 proof gallons coming out would be 99.2% efficiency. I find that unlikely, or am I mathing wrong.

Hello

If you are a farm distillery like we are. You can't direct to consumer ship yourself. But, there is away around that stupid law. There are a few companies that you can partner with that will sell it for you on your website and have a NY retailer fulfill the order. All of the retailers are out of New York City so be prepared to distribute your product into the city. NYSLA has looked at them and ruled that it does follow the rules. 

We use Accelpay. The other option is Barcart. 

We thought opening up shipping was going to have a large impact on our sales. It is slowly gaining traction. So from my experience be prepared to breakeven on the cost of service for a year or so as you educate your customers of the new service. 

Good Luck

Has anyone worked with Keen Beverage? If you have or have heard of them could you provide me with how you feel about there service. 

I'm opening a farm distillery in Upstate NY and with the TTB shutdown I can't get labels approved. My origenal timeline was going to have me able to start producing by end of month and selling in February, but without labels I don't think I can sell anything. Does anyone know what we do if the shutdown doesn't end anytime soon? Am I just out of luck and need to just twiddle my thumbs until I can get my labels? Any insight on this subject would be helpful.
