Hello from Florida and New York

[pariso]

hi,

I am Steve Pariso,

I am a distiller, setting up a whiskey distillery in New York.

In the past, I worked on projects like Netscape, AOL, CompuServe and many others.

I was disappointed that there was no place where we can auction or sell our used equipment or find new equipment or supplies. So, I put together a small team, and put one together.

This one is for US. It is _less than eBay_ with more focus on our industry. I hope it can become self sufficient. The small seller fees will go toward support, servers, maintenance, moderation, and promotion.

I hope you enjoy: http://barrelbid.comAmerican Barrel Exchange

Artisan just posted some great stills (they were the very first!):

Others will follow. I am also sending out t-shirts to get everyone involved. The site is live, feel free to sell or buy.

Back to distillery planning!

If you ever have any questions, always just shout anytime. I really hope that this resource helps all of us.

I can't wait for another ADI conference already.

All my best wishes,

Steve

Cool. Love having a central place to put up used barrels.

Hey Steve. Good to see you here.

Hi Chad! Great to see you!

Jeffw - a bunch of the barrel category fields are updated. Thank you!

Best wishes,

Steve

This website is going to be a huge resource for the craft distilling industry.

2nd what Donald said! This is going to be BIG!

Steve - could you post up another thread just for your website? I think some people may look over/never open the "Hello" posts.

Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks guys,

I'm just trying to figure out the appropriate place to start the thread.

For me, putting together tech stuff is just enjoyable: it was a pleasure. I'm happy if this helps and hope it finds enough volume to support itself.

Unfortunately, or fortunately, there is a very important tech custom of sending out shirts to celebrate every new project. We just sent thousands of shirts. I learned my lesson: we are folding shirts in our sleep now. (haha) I hope they all make it through snail-mail okay, and I hope everyone wears large.

Matt, side note: your bottling is amazing! Really great!

Anyone have any suggestions on where I should start the thread?

All my best wishes,

Steve

I think this is going to be exactly what the industry needs, American Barrel Exchange as a addition to what we have going on here, will be a huge asset to all of us.

Welcome to the show.

Damn son. You beat me to the punch..by around 6 months. I was just getting ready to start putting together on how to make an internet source for buying and selling used barrels cause I am going to need them in the future and you seemed to do all the work for me. Thanks and I hope it takes off as with the growth of the micro-distillery, barrels might become solid business.
