been thriving in this building for decades. They
are a living part of the walls, ceiling-the entire
room's character. To ensure we maintain the same
microclimate, we are building around the existing
fermenter building and opening its interior walls
to allow the microclimate to migrate into all areas
of the new fermentation building. This isn't the
only area where we have worked hard to maintain
continuity. Every inch of the distillery has been
carefully planned and executed."
In addition, the expansion includes much
advancement in the electrical footprint, as well as
increased use of automation. "We are about 80%
to 90% automated," Goodlett said.
In addition to the summer shutdown, the plant
has one scheduled down day each week to clean
the equipment. "We try to do most of the preventive maintenance during the summer shutdown in
order to keep the plant running efficiently."
Goodlett explained how preparations are being
made to ensure a smooth transition. "Keeping
the focus more on the preventive side than the
reactive side is our best avenue to keep operations
running efficiently," he said. "As we double our
capacity, good communication between operations, maintenance, and management will also be
critical."
Some of the biggest challenges, Goodlett
continued, are implementing the new equipment
into the current operation, and learning how to
operate the new equipment while also keeping
general production flowing efficiently.
"We had training before we started the new
systems," he said. "The training has been ongoing,
and we have been learning as we go on some of it.
We are operating efficiently. We are learning the
tricks that make it easier and safer." EP
Doubling capacity at Four Roses,
with only a small increase in
space, required collaboration
with an engineering firm and an
architect, along with reliance on
CAD drawings, to modify piping
and efficiently locate other
assets.

Ashley. "Quality and consistency are paramount
in our business," Ashley stated. "In order to guarantee the same level of quality, we decided to expand our capacity within the existing plant rather
than build a new plant and risk differences, real
or perceived. As an example, in our fermentation
building, this room houses open-top fermenters.
