From Kentucky

[Limestone]

Hello everyone,

I have been a member of ADI for awhile now, and while I visit this site regularly to absorb as much information as possible, I have never introduced myself.

My name is Steve and I am in the process of constructing a new distillery "Limestone Branch" in Lebanon, Kentucky.

We began construction last week and will be going toe to toe with the big boys, which can become intimidating from time to time. This forum continually revitalizes me. Thanks to all of you who have helped me without even knowing it.

Hopefully one day I will be able to return the favor.

See ya'll in Louisville

Hi Steve,

We met in Chicago last October. Glad to hear you are moving along.

Well done Steve.

I visited your distillery yesterday with a small group pre ADI Conference.

The tradition of the fermentation in barrels was great. We don't have anything like that at home.

It took a few minutes to figure out your combo mash heater/ beer still. Very efficient setup.

Thanks for spending the time with us.

Best in class and gold metal on your first outing is pretty impressive.

sounds like you guys are starting out right.

Congrats, on the Gold, and best in Class. Love the giant stripping still, very cool. Beautiful store.
