Pour Decisions

What type of quantity? I supply packaging materials as my day job and have a location in Durham NC that could service you

Howdy, no help as I do not do any rum, but there's some great resources here that do. Post up in the rum sub and you'll get some assistance. But, Welcome to the show!

welcome to the show, keep us posted on your progress!

Appreciate the info. i agree the expense it considerable for a small startup. I'll do some more research into how other small guys are recording the info needed for reporting.

Bringing this one back alive. Anyone with a small facility have a recommendation of one of these programs over another? I'm taking a 150 gallon still, single person operation. I really don't want to use spreadsheets and do manual TTB reporting.

Interested in seeing your project, please post pics once you have it completed!

With bottles being somewhat short supply and tougher to get quickly, do any of you accept your sold bottles to be returned? I've seen a somewhat local distillery offering a discount off the next bottle purchase for each returned bottle. I do not know their process but I would imagine they are washing and sanitizing and perhaps re-labelling. I have not located anything in the TTB regulations preventing this, but looking for your thoughts?

Working on my small facility plans and looking for more info regarding ventilation. My AHJ is pretty lenient but I want to make sure we are safe. I have an RKI PS2 unit that we'll install to alert us of any high levels. I planned to have a low cfm small in-wall fan unit that will be mounted around 24" from the floor to evacuate any gases and was planning a higher cfm in-wall fan to bring in fresh air. I'm at a loss as to how to calculate my ventilation needs. Do I need to match the cfm's on the two fan units to turn evenly over the airflow? For reference, my square footage is 675 and my still size is 150 gallons, so when I say small facility, yep, it's small! Any input/recommendations??

I bet SWA just has not stumbled upon this one yet...

Steve, Your link needs fixed... colon in wrong position causing dead link

Also had this one https://www.logobarproducts.com/custom-imprinted-bar-mat-20-x-4

Here you go. I have no experience with them yet but have them bookmarked for future use https://www.everythingbranded.com/?q=bar+mat

Paul, Are your standard BM units are capable of this conversion or do they need specified that way when ordering?

I'll be taking a look at TTB Tamer for my startup

I have an average of 10 containers of cans coming into my east coast warehouses every month. Freight is definitely a factor. My domestic sources actually end up costing less per can than the imports due to freight.

Have you had any response to this?

good to hear!

I would also say it was DE. That stuff has a ton of uses and filtration is one. While there are different grades of DE, it is the stuff that used to be used in swimming pool filters, if it can clear up green algae, certainly it can clear up your tainted spirit.
