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.
