The Siebel Institute Craft Distilling Operations and Technology course is designed to give students the critical information they need to create distilled spirits in a small-scale distillation environment and understand the underlying issues involved with starting a distilling business. NEW FOR 2025! Fully updated course content presented by Master Distiller Matt Strickland.
Description
Students will learn the theory behind working successfully in distillery operations, as well as related management and logistical issues. With newly-updated content created and presented by master distiller and author Matt Strickland, this course will give you the knowledge you need to operate your distillery efficiently, safely, and profitably. During the five full-time days of the course, you will learn production techniques involved in distillation from grain, fruit and other products from start to finish. Sensory analysis is presented towards building an understanding of the positive and negative flavor attributes commonly associated with the production process, and visits to area distilleries allow students a view of the basic operations of a distillery.
If you are considering entering this segment of the alcohol beverage industry, the Craft Distilling Operations and Technology course will give you a foundation of understanding on which you can build a successful career in distilling.
