I think it's Donald Trump.

methinks that google link is inaccurate, unless the op is branching out from viral videos.

Well that's very informative. Shall we guess who you are? Or do you operate in stealth mode?

Thanks for looking up our local laws, which I am well aware of. Your interpretation is not valid though. 100% ownership is not considered to be an "interest" by our relevant authorities. Once again, I can own a distillery, a bar, a restaurant, a liquor store, a nail salon, a flying piggery, etc.

Asking TTB related questions is relevant here. Providing generalities that cannot possibly apply to every local jurisdiction is not. And providing legal interpretation for locales you are not familiar with is plain silly.

The OP is speaking of TTB not local authorities. I can own a distillery and any other liquor license in my area. I can also own a donut store and a Radio Shack franchise. oh wait...

Why would the TTB care who owns the building, who owns any other business in the building? They don't do that.

A distillery can share a building with anything but residences.

hmmm, link works fine for me too. Just like the Race Razor!

Almost new Race Razor label machine. I got this in February, used for one run and am now switching to automatic.

Works as advertised, search on this forum for all the good things said about Race. Excellent customer support if needed. If you don't need to do thousands of labels a day, this is for you.

I paid $1200 total, you can have it for....? 1000?

I send full cases all the time via fedex. I use 12 pack bottle shippers, the corrugated kind and no bubble wrap. They're pretty damn cheap if you live on the mainland, pretty damn expensive if you live in Hawaii.

fyi fedex covers damage to shipments sent to commercial addresses, not residential addresses (if you have an alcohol shipper agreement with them).

Please do not hesitate to ask a question. Don't let the trolls get you down.

Learn your terms. Language is important.

Unfortunate for dropping the overall tax rate, because of this I don't see it happening. That must be DISCUS mucking things up. But of course supporters will say their support was needed.

The brewers are proposing a similar bill, halving the reduced rate small brewers already enjoy. Isn't that nice, paying $7 per barrel instead of $18 but still wanting to cut that in half.

I know about posting a new thread but what about searching previous threads?

Okey dokey, buyer fell by the wayside. So.....you're in luck. I want to move this out of storage, $6000 plus 500 for shipping. Help me help you!

Those consumer heat guns don't work quickly or well. The good thing about the St. Pats model is that it's placed directly over the shrink band/capsule on the bottle for just a second. Extremely quick.

I guess I'm stuck with St. Pats.

Know where I can get a handheld heat gun like the $300 one at St. Patrick's? I prefer to buy from someone else.

Fedex is don't ask don't tell. If it's damaged during shipping to a consumer then your claim will be denied. That's all.

What type of float switch do you use to keep the reservoir filled on the GW Kent filler?

what state are you in? does your building have sprinklers? In CA there is a very low limit for how much high proof booze you can store in a blending tank, without having sprinklers. In a building with sprinklers that number is significantly larger.

I never store anything, regardless of the size of tanks. Blending is processing, not storing. If your blending takes 2-3 days, so be it.

What will you charge for doing 50ml bottling runs?

not good without guaranteed minimums.

And it's common to go 50/50 on samples.

I think the key thing to remember here is that the structure, any structure used, will need to be approved as such by local authorities. Once that's done, you have a permanent structure, regardless of how difficult it may or may not be to move that structure in the future.

The OP is not asking about a mobile distillery, I believe. He's asking about repurposing specific materials to make a distillery building. A shipping container that has been turned into a building is a building, not a shipping container. I will stick with my original assessment that it is not necessary nor required to inform the TTB of the history of your building materials.

People spend way too much time thinking about upper temperature control for rum ferments. As we all should know, rum has been produced in a tropical climate in the Caribbean for a very long time without any temperature control. If you have a problem you're using the wrong yeast.

You will not be putting a distillery in a shipping container, you will be putting a distillery in a 8'x40' steel building.

A shipping container is only a shipping container when it is being used for shipping. Once you repurpose something, it becomes the new thing.

There is no reason to disclose to the TTB what your building was formerly used for, be it a shipping container or a gas station or a barn or a house or an airplane hangar...

If you are constructing a traditional building, the TTB is not interested in where the materials come from nor if they've been used previously. So if you're constructing a building out of a shipping container, ipso facto the same thing is true.

The caveat of only supplying the information requested definitely applies here.

Obviously your local zoning/building requirements would have to be met.
