Thanks guys! Rick that was exactly what I was looking for. Just a rough output projection based on the equipment in that example. Very helpful! I've found that time is not properly addressed in the research thus far. Mash... I do small batch, artisanal twinkies at home. Theyre the bomb! ;-) Thanks again!

Just using the 950 gallons from the example in the ADI publication. From there I can scale up or down to get a better idea of output. ViolentBlue... would you have a ball park figure on how many cases are produced annually from your clients that start off with 300 gallons? And I'm very aware that starting and running any new business requires a LOT more time commitment than 40 hours a week! Just using that number for simplicity. Thanks!

Very Noob! to distilling and had a question about production time and yearly output of a basic whiskey. Using the example/diagram from the ADI Craft of Whiskey Distilling on page 30 1. Mash-Lauter 950 gal wash. 2. Ferment 950 gal 9% wash. Also Why use the two secondary tanks for brite beer? 3. Two stripping runs (no plates) in a 450gal wash still. yeilds 290 gal 35% low wines. 4. Three spirit runs in a 90gal still. Head and tail cuts yeilds 100gal 60% hearts for barreling. Say 2 years aging. 5. Dilute to 40% for bottling. what are the average production time for each step? and how much could you produce in a month with this equipment setup and process if you're brewing/distilling an average 40 hour work week? Thanks!!! page30.pdf
