If no manufacturer reviews are going to be allowed, then you need to stop the marketing posts from the manufacturers. That would mean that the gents from ASD who provide a great amount of positive input to this forum would be barred which would be a negative. The good thing would be that it would stop Dehner from hijacking every discussion thread with a random post that has no relevance. Just thoughts to consider

I always assumed that anyone working in the distillery would need to be 21 or older but am I correct? My 18 year old nephew was in a bad car accident a few months ago and he has some longer term issues associated with the brain injury he sustained. They are hopefully not permanent and I would like to put him to work when he's physically ready and we get launched, but with his age, I didn't think I could.

Anyone have any insight?

Well these aren't the responses I was wanting, but they are the ones I was expecting. Would rather go in eyes wide open than have expectations that cannot be met. I may still buy that building because it's a good investment, and locate the distillery elsewhere. I could always kick everyone out and put the distillery there, but I would rather make money on it.

So I'm looking at an excellent building that is for sale, has a great feel and could be an great distillery/tasting room combo. I also have an industrial space I've looked at that would be better for production, whereI might as well forego any tasting room and open another small retail location for sales.(allowed in my state)

Here's the rub. the building I like has two apartments upstairs and two commercial space's downstairs.

I've read what I believe is every thread on here and everything published by the TTB and sent emails (as yet unanswered) asking about whether a commercial building with apartments upstairs would even be allowed. (I would categorize a separate commercial property a little different that a "structure attached to a residence", but what are the actual, ENFORCED rules. There seems to be some that have had different experiences. Everything I read is different except for the regulations which are vague at best.

Also, I'm wondering about the fire marshal and whether they will balk at the apartments. The apts rent for $1500/mos and cover the entire mortgage and taxes for the building. I may buy the property anyway and use the positive cash flow from all the spaces to pay for the distillery location, but it's an ideal spot and i would love to keep the apts if possible.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I want to do an old style, 1800's style whiskey bottle. Anyone know a bottle manufacturer who does embossed lettering?

Just came across this post. Any plans to have another in March or April?
