Ok, I may have a zoning issue to deal with.  I could steam or hot water wash the walls and ceiling maybe even a couple of times and/or apply a food grade surface. A polished cement floor is do-able. It just comes down to a numbers game if the revenue from storing the ethanol would pay for the improvements.  Could you give me a ball park figure to consider?  What other skills or equipment would I need to maintain a quality product?  I have heard talk that I would need a fire suppression system? You are welcome to reply to my email.   moroni770@icloud.com 

Thanks for your insights

The barn has been pressure washed and scraped clean.  To what level of sanitation  does it need to be?  The barns have dirt floors right now.  I would like to do what it takes to get the barn full. Thanks for your reply

Thanks for the replies.  Probably my biggest burning question is how do I find interested parties to store barrels in my barn?  I don't know of any distilleries of any size near me.  Do I just knock on the front door of Jack Daniels or some other alcohol establishment?  How do I get connected with people who would have a need for this service?

Again thanks for reading this

Hello from Moroni Utah

I don't run a Distillery but I have been interested in the aging or storing of alcoholic products.  My background has been in raising commercial turkeys.  Life happens, and I find myself with several LARGE, clean, insulated, and ventilated poultry barns that are now empty.  About 38,000 square feet total space.  These barns naturally maintain "cave" like, totally dark conditions all year around.  Modern computers and fans optimize conditions and can help maintain a target temp/humidity.

Would barns like this be helpful in aging alcohol?

What type of company or establishment would be interested in storing with us?

Where do I find out the regulations involved in getting set up?

Thanks for entertaining this thought with me

regards
