Our annual distillation workshop was held today. We had a nice group from Missouri, Iowa, North Carolina and Tennessee. Due to the hands on nature of the workshop and the size of our distillery, the workshop is limited to 12 participants.

The still was filled up first thing in the morning. A lecture followed.
