Module 2
Craft Distilling Workflow
Build the core mental model: mashing → fermenting → stripping → finishing/cuts → aging → bottle/sell.
A foundational module that frames craft distilling as an end-to-end system. You’ll map the steps, see why fermentation drives flavor, and learn a practical way to think about equipment, bottlenecks, and scaling without getting trapped.
What you'll learn
- Why focusing only on the still creates blind spots
- The core process map from mash to bottle
- Why fermentation matters most for flavor
- How to think about bottlenecks and growth
