I didnt think of that option at all. That would eliminate some of the space and storage issues. I will have to give it a try at the end of summer.

I would like to think i can keep down selling cost if i get the fruits (apples in particular) from the fruit trees around colorado springs. Both in home owners yards (with permission) and in the city parks and open spaces. Seems there are a lot of apple lovers around in this area. This is of course all guessing until i can get set up and find out what the facts are with over head cost and storage. I suppose another problem would then be the storing of the fruit. Seems simple enough to get apples but bulk storage for enough apples to make a few runs is another beast entirerly. Juicing and storage of the juice seems better as far as space consumption but is there anything to gain from just blending the apples into a pulp(removing seeds first) and using the entire apple. I dont want to lose out on any sugars in the apples skin but also dont want to end up with a sour flavor attributed to the skin. Any input would be appreciated.

Just interested in opinions on grains vs. fruits? Are more people interested in grains over fruits because of storage time to maturation, cost effectiveness, or availability? Im a bit new to this and not sure which direction to go as of yet. Any input would be appreciated. Cheers. Fat Matt

Hello all. I am the newest of the new guys it seems. I have been reading all the topics for a while now and figured i should say hello. I plan on starting up a micro distillery with my wife in Colorado in the next year or two. I am looking forward to reading and learning more about the distilling process and the ins and outs of all topics relating to the process. We have got the name so far and we are working the business plan and licenses needed. The road looks long but I look forward to the challenge. Any advice would be welcomed and much appreciated. Wish you all the best in the new year. Cheers.
