At long last, a master distiller and distillation engineer is now available on a consultancy basis to assist you in the establishment of your project! SIPS has a broad client base, and references are available upon request. Consultation services have been widely dispensed domestically, but SIPS has also been dispatched to Canada, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Isle of Man, Serbia, Philippines, Samoa, Bolivia, Peru and India ~ a growing list of international job sites.
Your first consultation is always offered on a gratis basis, and many clients have remarked that the rates for these services are far more reasonable than expected.
Basic Rate: $150.00/hour, or $1000.00/day (12 hours).
SIPS VIPs concierge consultation: depending on scope of project and distance, a retainer of $1000.00 to $2000.00 monthly is payable quarterly in advance.
