Many distilleries consult with paid consultants who have never ran a still, but instead taste spirits and tell you what's wrong with them. That's good and all, and I can do that, but what's more important is figuring out what's wrong in the first place! Instead of just a hired set of tastebuds, I can provide the hands on experience of dealing with oversights from various production issues and things you only think about when you're faced with the problem first hand! I can help you figure out what you should consider doing before you turn on your steam boiler, or before you even pour concrete for your production room! Do you know where your spent grain is going or how you're going to quickly turn over a piece of equipment to be used again? Do you know how you will provide quick hot water for cleaning? Questions like these and many, many more!
My experience includes milling, mashing, distilling, making cuts, barreling, harvesting barrels, blending, carbon filtering vodka, labeling bottles, hand selling bottles, installing new equipment, marketing products, product photography, bartending, tour guiding, and being part of events, and perhaps the most important part... RECORD KEEPING! If you're perusing this site, the best free advice I can give is to keep records of everything you do, and plan to spend a large part of your time keeping ducks in a row! |
