We initially ordered two and then got another two after we realized how useful they were. We make our liqueurs right in these barrels and can easily roll them over to our bottler. The transfer drums fit on my drum scale for weighing water/spirits, then easily move to the still or where ever I need them to be. James and the folks at Teton were also great to deal with!

Yeah, for the federal DSP, no issue. As long as you have a bond in place, your still serial number, your lease and floor plans, funding secured, company set-up (LLC, S-corp etc) you can apply (there may be another item or two needed..can't think of it right now..possibly insurance). My guess is your state (like ours)needs to see your operation before issuing any permits on the state level, though.

Wow! I'm glad I can finally post. I have been trying to get my account activated on here for almost a year (the site was reading my computer as coming from blocked IP!).

Anyway, we are a husband (chemist/ Distiller) and wife (digital marketer/ CEO) team who has been getting our distillery, Durham Distillery, started for the past few years now. My wife has been posting on here, but glad I could finally join...

The information on here has been invaluable for getting our distillery going and wanted to thank everyone. It has taken much longer than we thought, but we have our DSP, our formulas submitted, and construction has started on our building with anticipated completion in April. Thanks again to everyone on here! I’ll try to contribute with my experiences/knowledge where I can…

Congrats and good luck!

Please PM myself or one of the other NC distillers on here so we can get you in touch with the proper contacts in the NC Distillers Association. The same goes for your future neighbor (Great Wagon Road Distilling Company). Lot of things happening in NC distilling this year and we need everyone's support!
