(i) BUILD - Distilling Equipment & Process
Distillery Output Example
For example, if we take a 5,000 litre wash still (the irst
still used in the distilling process), then the maximum
capacity of this distillery can be approx. 89,000 LPAs • Wash still capacity of 5,000 LPAs
per year*. A distillery producing an annual total of • One shift per day x 5 Days
89,000 LPAs then needs to convert them into saleable per week
standard bottles of spirits.
• Typically producing:
To do this, you must multiply this total LPA number 89,000 LPAs per year
by 2.5 to get to the number of 40% ABV bottles • Which equates to:
produced by each LPA. The total number of bottles of 22,500 9 litre cases for sale
spirits for sale which is approximately 222,500 bottles
in this case. Therefore the number of 9 Litre cases • If we assume US$100 per case
available is 24,700 9L cases (divide this total bottle selling price to customers, this
number by 9 to get your case total). equates to approx.

Most experts agree that you need to subtract US$2,250,000 in sales
approx. 10% from these numbers due to waste and before discounts and other
evaporation in the distilling process to get to a more
realistic output igure. So in this case, the output for selling expenses
sale would be closer to 22,250 9L cases for sale

* The base assumption here is one shift per day x ive days a week,
48 weeks per year.
