A two-day hands-on experience covering the essentials in craft distilling. The workshop exposes attendees to the science of spirits production while getting their hands dirty, creating whiskey, rum, brandy, and gin. Whether you are a practiced distiller or a novice, this course is for anyone interested in refining their knowledge of the distilling process. Held at Yavapai College’s licensed distillery on the Verde Valley campus. This workshop is an opportunity to explore your curiosity about craft spirits. The hands-on activities which complement the workshop are the fermentation of base materials, “stripping” and “spirit” runs, use of pot and column stills, proofing, and bottling.
