  1. I'm from the microbrewery world so forgive my ignorance on this one. I contacted my mill supplier for a distillery build and he mentioned that he thought that maybe a mill in a distillery would require an explosion proof motor on it. I know that pumps moving distilled alcohol need to be explosion proof but what about the other motors; CIP, liquor back, wort wash transfer, mill. I'm designing the facility to have the usual separations; mill room, boiler room as well as separating the storage, still, wash and ferm rooms and thought that this would be sufficient. What's everyones experience and advice?
  2. Washington is looking at this also. I can't imagine either state giving up that much revenue. What tax rate does everyone think will be put in place?
  3. We don't want to deal with the SEC, just looking to offset the cost of aging a spirit.
  4. I posted something very similar to this a few weeks ago, before I saw this post, and got back this response. Anyone "registered" their spirits futures? I would really like to hear more about this topic.
  5. Any one have experience with whisky futures? Or I suppose futures for any aged spirit. I'm interested to hear how others have structured their programs, solicited investors, and whether they were successful. Was it worth splitting the returns to externalize the cost of aging? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
  6. I'm looking at the possibility contracting the production of wash from a local brewery and will need to transport the wash in the pre or post fermentation phase. The breweries minimum quantity is still a rather large quantity for me and the cost of stainless drums at this quantity may be prohibitive. What are everyone's thoughts on transporting and short term (week) storage of wash in 55 gallon food grade polymer drums? I know that polymer in the brewing world is a big no-no, but hear that wineries use polymers. Any other alternatives? Recommendations much appreciated.
  7. I would be interested to see how others calculate for product loss as well as how much they use per whatever quantity of product.
