Blending Guide blending guide When we started Timber Creek Distillery, my partner and I knew we wanted to create some great hand crafted whiskey using local Florida grains.

There are certainly pros and cons milling the grains to each approach. Next the grains get milled to open the grains so we can extract the starches and malting and mashing sugars from them to make our whiskey. There are several techniques that are very The beer brewers and Scotch whiskey common in brewing and distilling.

  • Articles • Distilling Tradition: the Traditionalization of Craft
    PAGE 89 • Articles • Distilling Tradition: The Traditionalization of Craft Moonshine at Bear Wallow Distillery CAROLINE HUNDLEY MILLER Indiana University, Bloomington Abstract: Moonshine has traditionally been defined by the illicit nature of its production. Increasingly micro-distilleries are basing their business on the production of “legal moonshine”—legally produced un-aged whiskey labelled by the distillers as moonshine. This paper draws primarily on ethnographic work at Bear Wallow Distillery to understand how the owners create a destination distillery by connecting their legal moonshine and distillery experience to a local moonshining tradition and a broader rural American imaginary. It will also explore issues of traditionalization and commodification of heritage through examining how micro-distilleries rely on a perceived connection with an “authentic” moonshine tradition even as they seek to challenge traditional definitions of moonshine in the development of their own moonshining tradition. Bear Wallow Distillery is a family-run craft micro-distillery in Gnaw Bone, Indiana, nestled in the hills of Brown County. Brown County, situated about an hour south o f Indianapolis, is a popular tourist destination, especially for outdoor recreation. Its beautiful outdoor attractions include Hoosier National Forest, Brown County State Park, Yellowwood State Forest, Lake Monroe, and Lake Lemon. The distillery opened in 2014 and is owned and operated by Susan Spagnuolo. The distillery is truly a family-run business: Susan’s son Adam is the head of production, her son Jon is in charge of marketing and creates all the labelling and logos, and her husband Mike works at the distillery entertaining customers with highly engaging tours on the weekends.

  • The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages
    The Whiskey Machine: Nanofactory-Based Replication of Fine Spirits and Other Alcohol-Based Beverages © 2016 Robert A. Freitas Jr. All Rights Reserved. Abstract. Specialized nanofactories will be able to manufacture specific products or classes of products very efficiently and inexpensively. This paper is the first serious scaling study of a nanofactory designed for the manufacture of a specific food product, in this case high-value-per- liter alcoholic beverages. The analysis indicates that a 6-kg desktop appliance called the Fine Spirits Synthesizer, aka. the “Whiskey Machine,” consuming 300 W of power for all atomically precise mechanosynthesis operations, along with a commercially available 59-kg 900 W cryogenic refrigerator, could produce one 750 ml bottle per hour of any fine spirit beverage for which the molecular recipe is precisely known at a manufacturing cost of about $0.36 per bottle, assuming no reduction in the current $0.07/kWh cost for industrial electricity. The appliance’s carbon footprint is a minuscule 0.3 gm CO2 emitted per bottle, more than 1000 times smaller than the 460 gm CO2 per bottle carbon footprint of conventional distillery operations today. The same desktop appliance can intake a tiny physical sample of any fine spirit beverage and produce a complete molecular recipe for that product in ~17 minutes of run time, consuming <25 W of power, at negligible additional cost.
