How to Market Homemade Distilled Alcohol Online
Selling alcohol online can be an attractive business venture in the US. Before embarking on this path, however, it’s vitally important to first gain an understanding of both market landscape and state laws before embarking on your new endeavor. This article offers a step-by-step approach for starting and expanding a successful online alcohol business.
Distillation is the controlled process of turning mildly alcoholic beer into something much stronger, such as liquor or whiskey. Distillers use heat and condensers to turn a mixture of grain, water, yeast and other ingredients into alcohol-rich hearts while simultaneously condensing any low proof vapors from them – this allows distillers to separate those portions with higher alcohol concentration from low proof “heads,” known as undesirable chemical compounds such as acetone, aldehydes esters fusel oils which produce harsh flavors or harsh or unpleasant tastes when blended together in high proof spirits that taste both smooth and flavorful.
While some states allow individuals to legally distill alcohol at home, federal law strictly forbids anyone from producing hard liquor at home due to possible poisoning or explosion hazards associated with high proof distilled products.
Before selling homemade alcoholic beverages, certain permits and licenses must first be secured. These vary based on your location and type of alcohol being sold, but typically include both federal permits from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB), state licenses or local authorization. Furthermore, proper packaging materials must be utilized so your products arrive safely – online age verification tools or signing an adult signature upon delivery could both help ensure legal consumption by customers.
