  1. @Silk City Distillers I was able to turn this feature back on. They show up below all of the forum topics.
  2. I just tried two mobile browsers and it took me directly to the forum. If anyone else encounters your same problem, I will create a support request from the forum host.
  3. Here is a quick resource that explains the basics of how spirits can be decolorized. http://www.silcarbon.eu/2014/cms/upload/downloads/Entfrbung_Eng.pdf
  4. ADI has been invited by TTB to speak to Label specialists about issues distillers face during the label approval. Please provide us feedback on your experience of applying for label approval. We will aggregate and anonymize the information provided and before it is shared with TTB. It is our hope that opening dialog will lead to reduced rejections and change requests which will save distillers and TTB time and money. I will be traveling to DC July 23, 2018 so please submit your responses before then. Google Forum: https://goo.gl/forms/X306I2pyUURz7BBQ2
  5. Going from bourbon to straight bourbon would be a change in type so I believe that would require a new COLA.
  6. Hello, I want to let users of our forum know that we are in the process of adding a more dynamic advertising system to our forum. If you encounter bugs that get of the way of using the forum please message me. eric@distilling.com Thank you.
  7. until
    Mark you calendar and join us in Denver for the 2019 ADI Craft Spirits Conference & Vendor Expo, March 18-21, 2019. More details coming soon.
  8. One producer of agave spirits I spoke to said he uses multiple yeast strains to full attenuate the syrup. He didn't share which strains since it took him a lot of trial and error to figure it out. Given @bluestar comment about the different sugar contents of bulk agave syrup, maybe using a couple of yeasts more suited to each sugar type would help avoid stuck ferments.
  9. @whiskeytango I deleted everything that was reported. If you see more, please flag it.
  10. @indyspirits I'll look into the logistics of this and talk to ADI Team about this.
  11. So I discovered that with one of the forum updates I performed on the back end changed some of my notification settings so I wasn't getting emailed about reported posts. I will fix this so that I can respond quicker. Also, if in the future you don't get a response you can always send a support request.
  12. When did you report these? I have not received any reports in the last month or so.
