Whether you want to start a distilling business with gin, whiskey/whisky, and anything else, this two-day workshop will help you avoid costly mistakes and shorten the time from idea to execution.
You will also have direct access to Paul Hughes the instructor who has delivered distilling courses and distillery consultancy internationally for more than a decade. He is a sought-after distilled business consultant and is often asked to participate as an expert witness in cases of legal dispute.
This course starts by outlining the three distinct stages of distilled spirits production (production of a fermented extract, distillation and downstream modifications), using whiskey, gin, tequila and brandy as examples.
The workshop is online and live starting at 8:00 am.
So, rather than leaving your friends and family to travel to Corvallis, OR, you will be able to attend live where ever you happen to be! Just like a traditional in-person event, you will be able to ask questions and interact directly with your instructor Paul Hughes.
A wide range of business plans and successful distilling models are available to a new distiller, from third-party manufacturing to complete production of fermented alcohol and distillation.
The course finishes with a step-by-step discussion of the licensing requirements, both federal (TTB) and state (Oregon, OLCC). As part of the course manual, a paper explaining these licensing requirements is included.
In short, you will learn how to turn an interest into an enjoyable and rewarding career
