Several questions for the forum *What if any regulations from local, state, federal are distillers running into? * Are you having to pretreat your discharge water? If not how do you handle it since it may have alcohol be high in BOD, CBD and other contaminants? I know these waters are potentially highly disruptive to local water treatment plants. * Do you have permits for any of your air sources from grinding grains or fugitive emissions from alcohol? * Do you file community right to know (EPCRA) due to the volume of alcohol you're storing which isn't bottled? What are you doing with spent grains? I haven't really found much except for breweries. Scares me that i may be missing something. Any experiences with these would be appreciated

Do any of you know of creditable distillery consultants in Ohio? I'm a completely unexperienced novice getting into this game and would like to have a consultant at my side to work on recipes, operations etc. Thank you.
