Milling, Mashing, Fermenting, Distilling, Maturation, Proofing & Bottling… is just the start of the story.We dive into some pretty technical topics on distillation each episode. While we can’t promise there will be no math… we will get to the processes and science behind craft distilling. We also talk with an industry professional about their thoughts and approach to each episode’s topic. That is — the distillers, brewers, warehouse men, engineers, and architects that get it done – day in and day out. We get to the processes and science behind craft distilling.
