Profits Of A Common DistilleryProfits arising from a distillery with two common stills, one containing 110 gallons, and one containing 65 gallons that is well conducted for 10 months. The calculations predicated on a site, distant about 60 miles from market. Due regard is paid to the rising and falling markets in the following statement. The selling price of whiskey will always regulate the price of grain, the distiller's wages, the prices of malt, hops, hauling, &c. is rather above than below par. Distillery, Dr. To 1077 bushels corn, at 50 cents per bushel, is $ 538 50 533 bushels rye, at 60 cents 309 80 96 bushels malt, at 70 ditto 67 20 1706 bushels total. 60 pounds hops at 25 cents per pound 15 100 cords of wood, at 2 dollars 200 Distiller's wages per year and boarding 204 70 Hauling whiskey, at 4 cents per gallon 204 70 50 poor hogs at 4 dollars each 200 --------- $ 1739 90 Contra Cr. By 5118 gallons whiskey, at 59 cents per gallon $ 2559 50 fat hogs at 7 dollars each 350 --------- $ 2939 --------- Leaving a balance of $ 1143 10 I have charged nothing for hauling of grain, &c. as the feed or slop for milk cows, young cattle, and fatting cattle, will more than pay that expense. An estimate of the profits arising from a patent distillery, (col. Anderson's patent improved) 1 still of 110 with a patent head, 1 still of 85 gallons for a doubling still, and a boiler of metal, holding 110 gallons. Distillery, Dr. To 2454 bushels corn, at 50 cents per bushel $ 1227 1216 do. rye, at 60 cents do. 729 60 200 do. malt at 70 cents do. 140 --------- 3870 120 pounds hops, at 25 cents per pound 30 100 cords wood, at 2 dollars per cord 200 2 distillers wages, boarding, &c. 400 Hauling whiskey, per gallon at 4 cents 464 40 120 poor hogs at 4 dolls. each 480 Total expense $ 3671 Contra, Cr. By 11610 gallons whiskey, at 50 cents per gallon $ 5805 50 120 fat hogs, at 7 dolls. each 840 $ 6645 50 Clear profit, $ 2974 50 Profit of a common distillery 1148 10 Balance in favor of a patent distillery $ 1826 40 To do the business of a patent distillery or to carry her on to advantage, requires a little more capital to start with--but either the patent or common distillery, when they have run two or three months, managed by an attentive and brisk dealing man, will maintain, or keep themselves agoing. Where wood is scarce and money plenty, the patent distillery is certainly to be recommended, indeed, in all cases, I would recommend it, where the proprietor has money enough. It is by far the most profitable, and will sooner or later become in general use in this country. Next: Of Hogs Previous: The Duty Of An Hired Distiller
