My First Legal Distillery ;)
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks to the mods and everyone else on this forum, without which I'd never be opening my own, legal, micro-distillery in Boulder, CO. We're called Deviant Spirits, so if you're in the area please stop by! We're doing a soft opening on Halloween, should be fully open sometime in mid Nov.
It's been a long time since I last posted on here... A few of the old timers may remember me It's been a very busy 2 years. TTB alone took 8 months... that was a blast.
Special thanks to Uncle Remus, as we're distilling a rice based vodka. Gin will follow shortly (thanks to Odin for getting us started down that path), as well as some infusions down the road (some of which will likely be similar to some tried and true's here!)
Also thanks to Rad and Prairiepiss for their many informative posts and answers to questions early on.
Here's a pic of the tasting room and the mash tun... its a bit of a step up from a keg! Just ran our first batch earlier this week and its popping away in the fermenter! The space is still a little rough around the edges, but we're getting there.
If anyone has any questions about the licensing process etc., or wants to set up a time to visit, please feel free to PM me, I'll try to check up on the site more often again!

Very very cool! I hope to see much more of this, people daring to get into this and start up small distilleries. Best of luck to you and your place!
Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me...

Re: My First Legal Distillery ;)
Congratulations! Unfortunately, you're just a bit too far away for my perfect retirement part-time job. I wish you all the best. I'm sure there will be a lot of interested HD parties dropping by to see how things are going. I certainly will if I'm in the area.
Re: My First Legal Distillery ;)
Congrats and good luck!
so you left the moonshine and stepped over to the sunny side of the street
it is amazing when you can step up and make a living doing something your passionate about.
You win....
Deviant Spirits? hmmm seems like Jimbo would have some good label designs for something like that hahaha

Congrats from Woodshed Distilling . Stop in if you make it to our part of the State. I look forward to doing the same next time I am on the front range. Probably November.

I can see you'll have to host a night meetup before S3:2016 where we can stop by your location and then trek on to Pagosa Springs.

Congratulations!!!
I'm hoping to buy a camper before S316, and would love to come visit during that time.

Re: My First Legal Distillery ;)
Every success story I read here makes me both proud and jealous...!!!
Proud by association...
Jealous, just because...

Moved you over from My First to Craft Distillers forum. Welcome to the new area where you can share your accomplishments. Rad described my feelings to a T!
Re: My First Legal Distillery ;)
That's awesome WV!!
But I'm with Rad on this one. Jealous because #1, it's not like you're really working, more like playing for a living, and #2 Boulder, CO!!
Good luck, hope you all do great.
