Opened a gin distillery

Let's start with how you see the concept of creating a brand by yourself. Which flavor characteristics of gin do you like? How many SKUs will you have? What will your bottle look like? What kind of style will your label look like? Do you have a tasting room? How will you go beyond your actual existence to market yourself?

Once you start putting some ideas on paper, you can move on to operating costs and capital expenditures. I assume that you need to produce enough finished wine to at least cover your operating costs, and hope to slowly recover capital expenditures. To do this, you need to specify the price of finished spirits, and then determine how many bottles you need to sell in a month to cover your monthly expenses. Pretty basic, right?

But the goal here is not to reduce and adjust the size of your commercial gin distillation equipment to produce a finished wine that is enough to meet the monthly nuts, right? The goal is to have the ability to scale up with the development of the business.

You can do this by adding more shifts. But this always means higher labor costs, thereby weakening your net profit. Therefore, if your goal is to make money, it is very important to adjust your commercial gin distillation equipment to take advantage of economies of scale.

Gin production

Let's continue with interesting things to make gin. There seem to be two modes of gin production:

• The winery produces the neutral spirits needed as the basis for the gin recipe.

• The brewery purchases neutral spirits in advance and only re-distills them to extract alcohol vapor from plants.

Without the right tools, the former can be very time-consuming—that is, a very tall distillation column. Although a still can be used to make pure spirits, it takes more time than a suitable column.

The latter has attracted criticism from spirits purists and industry professionals. In the final analysis, the most important thing is not to deceive in the production method, and of course to bottle high-quality finished products that are worth selling. If it tastes good and value for money, then this is really important to consumers.

Flavour profile

When it comes to flavor profiles, one problem with producing reliable and consistent finished products year after year is that your plant supplier may source from different locations, which may experience completely different weather patterns. It is conceivable that temperature, rainfall and soil composition will have different effects on a single plant. In addition, dry and fresh botanicals also produce different benefits. So how do we create a reliable and consistent profile year after year? Contrary to all the botanicals we picked fresh last month, how do we fill the gin basket with dried botanicals this month, because this is all the botanicals available?

One method is to produce only one batch of botanicals instead of mixing all botanicals into one basket. Distill each plant individually and build a large inventory for each plant. Then blend each render separately according to the specific required profile. In addition, approximately 20% of each bulk distillate is mixed with the next batch to ensure a more uniform consistency. This will help manage seasonal changes in botanicals. This approach provides a technique in which the creation of flavor profiles can be likened to mixing paint colors according to precise recipes.

Brand and market saturation

If you go out to win your own backyard, you can do the job. Make your neighbors excited about what you do. tell them. Tell them why your gin will be the most amazing gin they have ever experienced. Tell them about this process. Get them involved. Be friendly. excited. Learn how to attract everyone's attention. Don't isolate yourself. Be bold. You must betray yourself. You must have your own backyard. There will be enough business to support your small boutique gin distillery.
