LIQUOR PRODUCTION LICENSES – WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
For some time now the whole South African Liquor License Industry has been chaotic. If it’s not a question of waiting for inspectors (up to 7 months), then you have to deal with inspectors that don’t know what they are doing, or people blatantly holding you for ransom for bribes, or inspectors that have no transport because the fuel budget has been exhausted, or – as has happened now for the second time – an entire Liquor Board being fired and needing to be replaced. If this is not enough to cause stress for a business man or entrepreneur, now it seems that we need to watch out for the people that are supposed to help us with this – Liquor License Agents and Lawyers – too.Posted on Craft distilling, Home business opportunities, Liquor legalities - South Africa

Many different aspects contribute to this perceived value of a product.Posted on Craft distilling, Spirit enhancements, Home business opportunities

More and more we receive enquiries regarding Closed Cooling Systems. This refers to a closed loop for the water used during cooling to minimise water use. The reasons for these requests and wish to minimise water use are varied, but can be for economic reasons (to save money), for ecological reasons (environmental awareness) or practical reasons (a local water shortage). Before we discuss the systems and their challenges, let us first look at what is required of a cooling system.Posted on Distilling related articles, Craft distilling
