  2. I have a similar problem with oils coagulating in the mix. I mascerate - don't distill. My challange is "how to remove the coagulated materials?" I was considering placing a container holding dry ice into the tank and forcing coagulatiion and causing it to harden so I can remove the blocks of material. I am interested in Chill Filtering and the equipment needed. Currently we filter down to .50 microns with very good success. Anyone having any thoughts about the dry ice idea?

  3. I make liqueurs using natural products , fruits, coffee etc. I'm trying to keep my tanks a clean as possible but am having some difficulty removing a stain residue from the stainless. I've tried soaking the tanks with an Alconox solution over a couple of days . It removed some stain but not much. Any recommendations or techniques or cleaning materials will be much appreciated. I don't want to have to purchase tanks for each of my flavors.

    Please comment here or if you wish email me at galinc@comcast.net

  4. Back in MAy of 2012, Grehorst (Administration) posted that the New Topic email notification system was repaired and working. It is now July 2013 and I have yet to receive an email about a New ADI Topic. Is any else not receiving these email notices. Do I have to do something to register for these email notices? ANY Ideas

  5. I need a bar for a tasting room we'll be designing and opening in the next month or so. Any recommendations where I can get one - or who might build bars for us. We're in Winchester VA and would prefer dealing with some in the area. Also anyone have any recommendations for tasting room designers. Your referral is appreciated

  6. I Don't know anyone holding distilling classes out west but you may want to contact Scott Harris at Catoctin Creek Distillery in Purcellville VA. Go on line to his web site. I believe he holds a couple of classes a year. They are terrific people and have been very successful in the five years they've been distilling

  7. My accountant has recommended Intuits "GoPayment" swipe service which integrates with QuickBooks. His wife uses it for her business and he's pleased with it. It collects all transactions and then you can download from their web site and it automatically places the transactions and fees where the belong in Quckbooks. At the end of the year they also send what they call a "K" form itemizing all transactions you had over the year.

  8. is the fed $13.50 excise tax applicable on samples and tastings?

    I'll be using 50ml or 100ml bottles as samples with resturants and bars. these will not be sales. Is the Fed excise tax applicable to theses types of transactions ?

  9. is the $13.50 excise tax applicable to samples? Also is it applicable to the small taste pours in the tasting room?

    I will be using small 50 or 100 ml bottles for samples when visiting resturants and Bars etc. Is the excise tax applicable for these transactions. No sales are involved.

  10. We submitted immediately following the shutdown. It took about 5 weeks. If you need to speak to any one there. Call between 1 and 3 pm EST - That's when they man the phones. The people are very helpful. Be very specific when asking the questions. Their point of reference is the regulations.

  11. BP if you need help from the TTB FONL folks, it's best to call them a little after 1 PM Eastern Std Time. They answer the phone in a narrow 2 hour window. The folks you will speak to will be very helpful and informative. Just understand some are very knowledgeable and a couple are newbies. So be very specific when you describe the problem or in asking the question. Good luck
