  1. Jedd, it appears after they looked over my products, they stated, there isn't a market for it in their portfolio. So back to the drawing board of looking.

    Any leads would be good.

  2. HPious, Do you have any info I can call or email you? I've a distributor but want to talk to you as well. Where are you located in Chicago? I have a Rice Spirit and Rice Whiskey product I produce in WI.

    Did I see you at Distill America? And did you come by to taste my products? I was the first table as you entered the room.

  3. Anyone has one for sale or know where I can get a Stelvin Capper? I'm not looking for a huge capper just a small 1-2 bottle Stelvin capper. Trying to stay within a budget. Please let me know. Thanks in advance.

  4. I have an overstock of Vitro Vallarta Clear 750ML Wine bottles and Widget Cork Co corks for sale. I will sell corks for 1/2 of what I paid for and bottles for and the bottles -15% of what I paid for. MAJOR, MAJOR SAVINGS!!!!!!! You'll have to arrange pick up and delivery. I have 4-6 pallets of Vitro 750ML bottles for sale. Anyone interested can email or call me. Thanks

  5. I just started my distillery and will now have possibly 11 states that I will distribute to. Main thing for me is "Persistence!" I don't give up even if someone tells me no. My product is so unique that when I meet with a new distributor, and after some tastings, I tell them what I want for my product and don't budge. I had a distributor in Milwaukee that wanted to pay $xxx for my product. It was so low that I said, no and thanks for your time and left. After that, I've gained all the states that I have, with the price that I had asked for and then more. If you believe in the quality of your product, do not budge or undercut yourself short. You have to make some profit too! Overall, I've been blessed to have all the states that I have and when I was going to all the liquor stores in my states to introduce my product, less than half of them told me NO but more than half said YES! All my prices are FOB prices and I do not have to deliver anything.

    Believe in your product and you will succeed. Like they say, "If you build them, they will come", well, this goes true about us as distillers. Best of luck to you and don't give up!

    Cheers!

  6. The first distributor I contacted told me (to my face) that I should sell to him at cost, since making money from his hard work would be immoral.

    Charles, I was told the same thing by a distributor in Milwaukee so I said, "No, Thanks for your time", turn him down and walked away and got a better distributor. I am located not too far from you.

  7. I am researching what type and where to get hoses and pumps for pumping mash into still. Any leads will be nice. Thanks in advance. Please attach link if possible or what you are using at your facility.

  8. We are, and are in a similar stage of development: Finished 2nd draft of business plan, looking at final selection of site, discussing with towns and county about their requirements (this is the most challenging aspect right now), working on first formulations, setting up web presence, preparing to purchase distillation apparatus, etc. Enjoy the workshop, I attended last year. We will be setting up in SW Michigan. Would be happy to discuss with you in more detail what we have been working on.

    Bluestar, do you know the maximum proof of Distill Spirit in MI? My product is 120 Proof and I want to distribute my product to MI next year. Thanks
