Ralph, can you provide more information or a link to the Washington State guide you write about above? I've screened the liquor board's website and can't find anything. Thanks

We usually bottle within a few days to a week after distilling. Our still-strength gin is mixed very well with dilution water just prior to bottling. We have noticed no real discernable flavor difference in aging/resting after that.

I've had geat success with for our bartops: www.paulsonsupply.com St. Pats has an air-operated bartop corker, however it's very spendy: http://www.stpats.com/Corkers.htm

Can you post a link?

Most likely it will suck for the forseeable future. For the most part the folks here in my state have traded one monopoly (the state) for another monopoly (Costco, Safeway, et al). If one was to look at inventories currently carried by those types of stores, it does not forebode well for the craft producer. Another hit this does is it does not allow small artisan wine shops (due to the new 10K square foot requirement) to carry spirits, which would be a natural fit for craft made products.

Now I get: No topics were found. This is either because there are no topics in this forum, or the topics are older than the current age cut-off.

My understanding of petite wormwood (Artemisia pontica) is that it does contain thujone, just not in the quantitiy of A.absinthium.

That's what I also get.

I think he is specifically talking about beet molasses.

I'm having trouble accessing the new forums.

Cascade never has purchased Kirk's herbs, for personal stash or otherwise. Cascade is no longer providing wholesale herb sales.

Why did my post disappear?

About 60 days for us.

I agree.

If this is ADI's position to exclude distilleries such as mine, send my membership fee back. And I'll speak anyway I please.

I make fantastic absinthe and gin using NGS, and you want to relegate distilleries such as us to the sideline? This is the definition (from Ralph) we should be looking towards "The proposed qualification for a "micro spirits producer" and membership in the new ADI will be the permit and an operating licensed DSP; that pretty much covers it. And if a producer qualifies for the discounted FET rate, that qualifies that producer as "micro"."

I also would like to recommend Supremcorq. Great service and a great product.

God Bless You Mr Tuthilltown.

Post some pictures when you get some.

I have personally spoken in person with Ted Breaux regarding this. The letter is genuine.

The only reason for the prohibition against home distilling is "protecting the revenue" pure and simple. Making decent cuts is about all it takes to make sure you don't have dangerous levels of methanol. I'm all for home distilling being legalized to stand with home brewing and wine making.

We went with Alembic Design Studios (www.alembicdesign.com) for our website and label design. Very happy with their work.

I just got my copy of the software. I'll be giving a a run through in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for the quick delivery Payton.
