  1. We have t-shirts, sweatshirts, ball caps, beanies, shot glasses, flasks, and a couple other items for sale in our tasting room. We're looking for other ideas. What other items have you all had success with selling out of your distillery?
  2. we are looking for a 300 gallon steam piped or jacketed with agitation mash tun. We do not currently lauter so that is not necessary for this unit. What are my options out there for under 15k
  3. We have a few "Medicinal Cocktails" on our speakeasy menu. We've developed our own versions of the Stony Negroni and the Rolled Fashioned, found via (http://cannabisregulator.com/here-come-cannabis-cocktails/) and they are freaking awesome. Can anyone speak to the legality of using CBD oil in a cocktail here in Colorado?
  4. My dear mom sent me a link to http://www.good-libations.com/ yesterday saying her friend was going to invest in this. Anyone here heard of them? Anyone on here working with them? Can simply adding GRAS to a barrel make a 20 year whiskey?
  5. Go with Sherman at artisan-resources (http://www.artisanresources.com/)
  6. We want to put a wax button on our bottle like Balcones or Tanqueray, etc. What is the consensus for the best way to do this? Seems buying the peel and stick version like these (http://www.premiumwaxseals.com/product/custom-wax-seals) would be easiest but certainly not the cheapest. How much of a PITA is dripping the wax on and stamping it with a brass stamper? Will it stay on, etc? Whats the best place to get this stuff? Anyone with experience, let us know!
  7. I realize this may vary from place to place, but what is the starting salary a relatively inexperienced (in distilling), new assistant manger/ distiller should expect to receive annually? Just asking generally here.
  8. Can anyone tell me what the open to air copper worm above this Forsyth still is? Condenser or something else? Its actually attached to the still to the left that's partially blocked by steel beams and the persons in the pic.
  9. Hello from Steamboat Springs, Starcat. Also, searched for Swede but wasn't able to locate so I bought a sweet controller made by Sherman Owen www.artisanresources.com. Not cheap, but a truly nice custom unit.
  10. http://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2017/02/borders-distillery-submits-plans-for-bio-plant/ Is this the future of distillery waste management?
  11. Saw this colorful video on a DIY bio-digestion system a few years ago. The science behind it beginning at 9:45 is particularly helpful and interesting.
  12. Looking for a turnkey solution for aged rye barrels for blending/vatting. Preferably from the Rocky Mountain Region. Montana, Idaho, Colorado, Etc. Trying to source 2-4 year aged rye in barrels from someplace other than SS. This would hopefully be an ongoing partnership. We can talk about quantities.
  13. I'd like to know where to buy copper alloy C12200 for rolling a column.
  14. Submitted - April 21, 2016 Received - October 28, 2016 (6 months & 7 days)
  15. Here is some good gouge on the topic. Probably the techie info you mentioned, but still helpful for everyone. Activated Carbon for Purification of Alcohol.pdf”.pdf
  16. I'm looking for an electric front end loader/ skid steer. I would go the forklift route but I would also like to use this to plow the snow from the front of our building. We can get as much as 300" a year here. Anybody ever come across something like this?
  17. Thanks bluestar I am waiting for the sprinkler company to get back to me to discuss further.
  18. It was written as an inclusion. No spirits stored yet. I thought that my distillery insurance would cover the barrels stored on-site anyway. So is this different insurance through the sprinkler company? Is it ongoing? You've got a sprinkler system at QSD, how much do you pay for Hazard Coverage for Barrel Storage?
  19. I received a quote from a fire suppression company to sprinkle my production area. One of the quotes exclusions was Hazard Coverage for Barrel Storage. Can anyone tell me what that is, whether it's required by law, and why the sprinkler company would add it in?
  20. Can anyone recommend a boiler installer in Colorado? This is going into our distillery in Steamboat Springs. I am having a bear of a time finding anyone closer to us then Denver to sell us and install a boiler. That said, if anyone has a good person in Denver, I would happily accept that too. Getting a little desperate here. I need to find a reasonable priced installer to help source a unit and pipe it in to code.
