MSU - LTU Artisan Distilling Workshop
One of the most long standing andpopular activities of the MSU-LTU Artisan Distilling Program is the MSU-LTU Artisan Distilling Workshop conducted in cooperation with Christian Carl GmbHand and Brewing & Distillling Corp. This workshop is over a decade old and is held at least twice in the USA and starting in 2008 willl be held at least once in Luleå, Sweden.
The two-day workshop is for individuals either active in the distilled spirits industry or contemplating entry into it. The workshop targets practical information and a hands-on approach. The instructors have many decades of experience to share with participants.
Topics included in the workshop include:
- Historical perspective of the development of modern distilling technology
- Fundamentals of operation of pot and column stills
- Economics of artisan distilling
- Practical demonstrations of commercial stills
Groups are usually limited to about 25 attendees, so it is it recommended to enroll early, if possible. The US fee is $285.00. Michigan residents can apply using the workshop form for a scholarship provided by the US Department of Labor WIRED grant. The fee in Sweden will be announced later.
