These are free but take a long time to complete. I just checked and turn around times for permits approved in Sept 2020 averaged 116 days. Go to “permits on line” to start the process or hire an expert. You can find expert help on the ADI forum.

We are currently in the process of getting the applicable licensing that will make us eligible for contract distilling. Does any one know if we need any type of federal license before we submit our application for the MD rectifying license ?

Any Help is Greatly Appreciated.

Thanks alot.

They fence off a space and Lou Berman would come out and approve it.

We are a small start up that will be producing brandy. We are currently in the process of getting the applicable licensing that will make us eligible for contract distilling. Currently we are in the process of submitting our application for our wholesalers license, we are currently seeking a warehouse that we can work with to store our product.

We would definitely appreciate any help or leads that we can get on this subject.

Thanks alot.
