My apologies if there is something I am missing, but I haven't been able to find any information on the TTB's proposed American Single Malt definition or a release date. I can't find anything in the TTB Public Guidance section, the Class/Type designations and the Chapter 4 Class/Type resource is still listed as 04/2007. The last mention of anything was a flurry of articles written in Spring 2023 and a docket update stating "01/00/2024" as the final rule date, but nothing since. Does anyone have any insight into when or if this standard will be made public? Additionally, I know a lot of distill ..read more

Howdy all,  I'm hoping you can help me understand something... So I crunched all the numbers on the Crampton and Tolman papers, and I see that the average ratio for the ryes is 85r/15mb, and bourbons 75c/13r/11mb... but when I run the DP on those recipes, they are severely lacking in power (even using distillers malt which wasn't available until like the 1950s) needed to convert the mash . How were they getting proper conversion if they weren't using exogenous enzymes ..read more

Hey guys, Well, I’m finally able to say that I’m launching my first product line in March, Celtic Honour. It’ll be a series of blended bourbons I've sourced in small batches from distillers throughout Appalachia. The plan is to work the NC ABC and prove concept for a phase two scale that will include a tasting room and wider distribution. First I wanna say this is the coolest damn community I have ever been blessed to be a part of. There's been so many of you that have been supportive and helpful, I can't even begin to pay you back. Although I know it'll be a while before I can offer anything ..read more

Howdy all, If you were trying to make a reproduction of a pre-prohibition whiskey what yeast/s strains would you be looking at?  Thanks in advance    ..read more

Hello forum dwellers! This is my first post, though I have been lurking for quite some time. I was hoping to get some advice, or at least possibly some insight, into a yield question. We are distilling bourbon from a corn and wheat mash (64% corn, 26% wheat, 10% malted wheat) on a 6 plate hybrid still (Figgins reciprocating 2000L). We do a single pass with all plates active. Our distiler's beer averages about 10.5%, and our yield per run has been about 82 proof gallons for the last year (final distillate at ~135 proof). Some exceptional runs have made it to 94 or 95 proof gallons, but the vast ..read more

Let's say that you had several different corns that you were wanting to compare flavor profiles on, and you wanted it all to be one mash bill, except for the corn.  What would be considered kind of a "Standard" Mash bill?  Also, this needs to be an "all Missouri" mash, so, at least for now, this leaves out malted barely. I'm thinking 75% corn, 15% wheat, 10% rye. Will obviously need enzymes. Could just go 75% corn 25% wheat ..read more

I found these new age barrels from Squarrel Barrel (http://www.squarrelbarrels.com/aging.html) and am curious as to if you use this product and it only needs to age for a few months instead of years - how can this work with the TTB?  ..read more
