  1. Congrats! Also, I really like the still you built.
  2. Actually, if you look it's really cheap once you compare with other hands on courses. I would read up on homedistiller.org and/or practice in your backyard. All the distillers that I know that are worth their salt learned by building or purchasing a small still and learning in their backyards just for the simple fact that it's the cheapest way to get distilling time in. It's hard to make good whiskey if you haven't taken the time to make gawd aweful rot gut whiskey and then progressed from there. There are legal implications if you don't go about it in a smart manner though. I learned a lot, though, by reading how home distillers work on up to actually paying to take a class at a production distillery.
  3. Sorry you have to deal with this and I'm glad no one got hurt. After things settle down for you I'd love to hear what, if any, safety precautions would have helped you out? Just as a way for other distilleries to learn.
  4. A lot of distillers actually grind to a flour consistency.
  5. I see prices for the 4" columns on your site. How do the 6" and 8" columns compare in price?
  6. Any way to disable plates without removing them from the tower?
  7. Here's the one I've seen: http://www.kothe-distilling.com/en/products/store?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=17&category_id=3
  8. In my research in the Pacific Northwest I read that Woodinville Whiskey Co. and Dry Fly produced right about 11k cases each of their products in 2011. A bit of that is going into aging, but it shows their production levels that they expect to be able to sell.
  9. I'm curious what it takes to sell in the state of Washington for an out of state distillery. Do I just sell directly to stores like Costco, Safeway, etc? Do I have to have a Washington state license of some kind? I appreciate it, Nate Owen
