Seems there's a huge difference in the price of 1.5" and 2" diaphragm pumps. Is an 1.5" pump inlet/ outlet large enough for a standard bourbon or corn mash?

Any suggestions for me on some decent 2" diaphragm pumps ( air powered)?

Gracias

Wow...That's fast. I'm waiting over a month and a half and haven't heard a peep. Congrats on getting yours!!!!

Pennsylvania's limited distillery license is similar to Maine's....We can have tasting and sales at the distillery and we can also have two satellite retail locations.

Some town building and or zoning officials will also do a preliminary zoning review for a minimal fee just to see if the basic zoning requirements can be met. Saves you the time and money of a fullblown zoning approval review/application in the event that there's a glaring problem for them.

Pa. Could certainly use more craft distilleries. We're located in Bucks Co. and hope to be open in the next 60-90 days. It's been a long 18 months but I'm sure it will be well worth the wait. Where are you looking to open?

I thought it was just an acronym for Put In Some Stuff

Sweet...Congrats!!

Hi Brandon

Wondering if you ever found a boiler. We're also looking for a 500K BTU to 750K BTU Natural Gas low pressure boiler. Appreciate any leads that anyone can throw our way. We're located in Eastern Pa but are willing to travel withing a day's drive if need be.

Thanks.

Congrats Todd!! We're counting the days until we're DSP permit in hand. Curious how if any, your interview went.

Hey JB

I'm in the final stages of permitting my DSP in a shared building with a brewery that's separated by a 9' tall conventionally framed wall and chain link fence above to the ceiling so I'll keep you posted on any feedback from the TTB. My interpretation...as if that counts for anything...is that it's all about protecting the bonded area.

Hey Ursa....greetings from a former fellow Fairbanksian! I went to UAF back in the early nineties and cut my teeth learning to homebrew up there.

I saw your posting and figured I'd give you my two cents as I've been through some trademark dealings with my new craft distillery and other businesses as well. I agree with both Rick and Teton. If your trademark is primarily the logo then you'll/your hired gun attorney will have an easier time defending it. If it's just about the name and Diageo can show first use in commerce or in their filing date/priority for TM protection, they might have a leg up on you. At the end of the 22 hour long Fairbanks Summer Solstice day, it kinda boils down to a subjective call by the reviewer at the USPTO. Leaning more towards to using an image as your mark may prove stronger than just a word. On the upside, me thinks it's a good sign that the likes of Diageo are worried about us little people. Feeling a wee bit threatened are they?

Curious how many gallons and what is the jacket/bain marie fluid capacity and element wattage. Looks sweet

I've been called worse

Ive always been told that It's not the size but how ya use it......our space is 2500 sq.ft with approx. 500sq.ft of that being office.

Hello Fellow Pennsylvanian and congrats on your newfound license! Are you guys located near Pittsburgh? What will you be making?

Cheers!!

I'm with Nick....tis the season for giving...information ...I can't believe I just used one of those smiley things......aggghhh!

Hi Larry

Drop Ralph at Tuthilltown a line...he'll be very familiar with all things craft spirit related in New York.

So glad glad that we're building our own still. A year ago, we called around to the "Go to" still fabricators and got the same thing. We're talking to several people about building the same sort of still for them as well. Interesting times indeed.

Yikes. Perhaps this is part of the so called "Whiskey Cliff" that we've been hearing about on the news. Kidding aside, that really will make the super small batches that we have planned more difficult for sure. Don't we have a lobbyist down in DC pushing for HB 777

(The reduced excise tax bill) that could help if it gets much worse?

Hi Denise

I see that you're opening shop in Pa. and was wondering where in Pa. you'll be located?

Thanks Pete.....If you don't mind me asking, who do you get your bottles from?

Thanks TL....Curious what folks here in North America are seeing as well.

We're getting closer to the day when we'll need to have our bottling and packaging

worked out and I'm trying to get a feel for what to expect from wholesale bottle distributers

in terms of minimum order numbers. Any insight would be mucho appreciated.
