Hey all my name is Rick Schneider and I am the 2012 ADI intern. I am going to Michigan State University as the first person to participate in their new two month artisan distilling internship. Kris Berglund who taught two day workshops in conjunction with Carl Stills developed this program to give those of us in the artisan distilling field a better education than a typical two day or one week class. This blog will serve as a way for all ADI members to follow how this course develops and what is involved. For those of you who wish to get acquainted more with Kris and what he teaches you can download his free book Artisan Distilling: a Guide for Artisan Distilleries at www.Distilling.com/PDF/artisan.pdf. Many of you may already have this. The internship runs from June 1 to July 31 and I will do my best to keep up a daily post of what was learned and explored as well as a week synopsis. My hope is many of you will see this as the one of the best options for improving your education and understanding of Distilling.
I hope you enjoy it!
Shoot me as many questions as you like and I will try and answer them as we go.
Sincerely,
Rick
