Where we are today - & a thank you to all

“We thank all of our current and past clients for making us the best lab for alcohol beverage analysis in the US. The first ten years flew by and we now enter our 14th year of operations. We have maintained steady growth throughout and have seen many recent expansions - one in 2011 with a move to new facilities and then in 2013 with new hires, expanded internship programs in 2014 (still continuing with Eastern Kentucky University) and significant investments in new state-of-the-art analytical instrumentation. We just took on a new classroom/teaching facility and will relocate our offices into the old sensory room. Sensory analysis and training are being

offered in the new space.

For our breadth of knowledge, expertise and highly trained and qualified staff for beer, wine and spirits analysis we are your one stop shop for analytical testing and for certificates of analysis. We welcome you to a unique and quality conscious group of the finest clients in the world as we head well into our next ten years. Looking

forward to growing with you!”

Directly or indirectly we can service every conceivable testing need or provide you with information as to who can best help you. There are few laboratories today that can do everything in house and we are no exception, however, we believe that there is no other fully dedicated laboratory or service geared solely to all branches of potable alcohol production. For highly specialized testing we interface with other nationally recognized laboratories to ensure the most accurate test results available in the industry. Our affiliate laboratories are cognizant of our philosophy regarding outstanding dedication and quality as outlined above. We can also recommend our clients to other consultants in the industry to better serve their needs. From this originates our slogan: “When Quality Matters”

All our tests and services are performed using standardized and approved methods. We work with the latest updates from all the official bodies representing beer, wine and distilled spirits with methods specified when requested. To monitor our own performance we also participate in numerous collaboratives and check-sample service programs and other laboratory proficiency testing programs. Furthermore BDAS, LLC is a regularly certified TTB Laboratory - For Beer, Wine and Spirits!

“BDAS, LLC is a triple TTB

CERTIFIED FACILITY”

CONSULTING SERVICES AND OVERALL TESTING

Our main commitment is to perform unbiased testing of beverages and raw materials; our core strength!

CATALOG KEY GUIDE & SAMPLE QUANTITIES | 3

CATALOG FEATURES & GUIDETO SAMPLE SUBMISSION

SAMPLE QUANTITY REQUIRED, SHIPPING CONDITIONS AND STANDARD PACKAGE SIZES

To avoid the compromise of sample integrity it is best to ship samples in the original container used in the market place. For beer this is typically in the US in 355 mL (12 fl. oz.) sized containers (bottles or cans). For wine and spirits this is 375 to 750 mL (and sometimes 1L or more). For any samples to be distilled a minimum of 500 mL is required. For some samples and for product not yet in a sealed package sometimes less volume is needed and we ask you to contact us in such special circumstances. Generally samples packaged in other than standard market-sized containers should be filled (in fully sealable plastic or glass bottles or tubes) leaving only a little headspace. Wort samples can often be shipped frozen.

For comprehensive package testing a set number of containers will be required and this is indicated in the description for the specific test package. If only a single test is requested then generally the above notice should guide in sample quantity required.

It is best to contact us if you have any doubts about the quantity and desired packaging needed in order to avoid sample compromise, data integrity issues and delays in testing.

CATALOG KEY AND GUIDE

The new catalog combines many key tests that were previously listed under separate Beer, Wine or Spirits headings. Two main sections encompassing all products have been added. Retained are separate sections on Microbiology and Gas Chromatography. A new section on Nutritional Analysis covers the new FDA mandates. Malt, Hops and Water can be found under sections with those respective names in the headings.

To simplify the search and reduce catalog numbers the following key may be used to select for specific tests of relevance for Brewers, Winemakers or Spirits producers. NOTE: A complete revision of sample codes has been implemented. Older codes will be phased out as soon as possible. Please use the new numbers going forward.

CODES:

Tests applying to specific classes of alcoholic beverage will be indicated by colored letters under the new catalog numbers as follows:

B - BEER/WORT

W - WINE

S - SPIRITS

C - CIDER K - KOMBUCHA Note: If a specific test applies to ALL products no code appears under the catalog number column.

ADDITIONAL COSTS:

Additional processing costs may be incurred. Theses are noted - listed numbers - on page 4.Check these items so no surprise charges appear on your invoice.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ON NUTRITIONAL TESTING:Nutritional mandates are still being developed and additional items may be required. It is possible that not all tests listed above or in the current mandates from the FDA and the TTB will be required or at least not in all cases. The team at BDAS, LLC is actively investigating and researching the most up-to-date rules and regulations and we suggest you contact us for the

details for your particular products and situations.

Many nutritional tests are done at an affiliate laboratory and cannot be done on a rush basis - please allow 10-14 working days in most cases on extended nutritional testing. Prior planning for the nutritional mandate deadlines or for individual restaurant requirements is essential. Most laboratories testing food and beverage nutritional parameters will be inundated with requests as the deadline approaches. While we will do our best to accommodate all requests we cannot be

held responsible for delays that may occur in this regard.

PRICES POLICIES & SHIPPING | 13

Brewing and Distilling Analytical Services, LLC

Prices and Turnaround:

All catalog prices remain in effect until further notice (non-rush basis!). Prices are inclusive, where relevant, of our own processing and shipping fees. Depending on tests, volume demands and outsourcing we usually provide a 7-10 day turnaround. For any samples we send off-site the aim is to attain no more than 15 working days for turnaround time in most instances. Rush fees for two days in-house testing when possible are charged at one and a half times (1.5x) the list price. Please call ahead to discuss how best we can accommodate your

rush requests.

Reports & Confidentiality:

All reports and records concerning your sample results are maintained with the strictest confidence. Unless you indicate otherwise, this also applies to any of the samples we field to our affiliate laboratories [look for the †, symbol in our catalog listings]. We understand the significance of all test results with respect to the fermentation industries and can thus help you understand the consequences related to the data and show you how to interpret and implement the findings in improving your beverage production capabilities. You are always welcome to call us with questions related to your own requested test results. More involved questions, extensive discussions and problem solving or troubleshooting inquiries can be made available on an individual

consultation basis (see below).

Consulting and Project Fees:

While we can supply information regarding your test results in order to honor our obligations to testing samples for existing clients we do need to offer extended consultations based on a fee basis. If discussions will take longer than 10 minutes (or if visiting the lab to learn or discuss testing with us) a credit card

payment can commence. Consulting fees start at our hourly rate of $125.00. When travelling, reasonable accommodation and meals are also to be borne by the client. Non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements can be in place as necessary. We can also direct you to expert consultants for issues beyond our capabilities.

Project fees may be involved for specific requests that go beyond our usual testing capabilities. Set up costs and ongoing project fees start at $75.00 per hour per staff person involved and will also include items needed and purchased by us for the project request. These fees and costs will be discussed with and approved by you before we commence any of the work or continue after preliminary investigations are complete. Further details and catalog numbers may be found on page 7

Shipping Samples:

Seasoned clients generally know how best to package samples for safe shipment but, sometimes, there are mishaps. New clients might like to contact us first in order that we may provide guidance in the best packaging techniques and to inform as to the best, most economical and the safest way of shipping samples to us. UPS and FEDEX should be your first choices in the US. All shipments should be marked “Samples for Analysis Only – Not for Human Consumption”. Clearly mark them “Fragile” and “This side up”. AN ORDER FORM MUST ACCOMPANY ALL SAMPLES BEFORE WORK CAN COMMENCE - NO EXCEPTIONS! We cannot start service work unless and until we know specifically and exactly what is being requested of us and completed forms act as a contract of work requested. Shipments from abroad are best packaged in wooden crates/sturdy cardboard boxes (crown-cap boxes work well) and can be handled through an import-export agency. Please call for our advice as to which companies can best handle samples from your own country (DHL may be an

option). Our company does, however, have an Import Permit for “Alcoholic Samples for Analysis Only” and this usually means direct shipping is possible. Foreign samples (as food products) must now (for Bioterrorism clearance purposes) be registered with the Federal Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) and this can be achieved by registering for an Account number and code clearance (for each shipment) via the FDA WEB site. We can help you in this registration process if you encounter any problems. Recent changes may mean we need obtain a COLA

waiver for you.

Finally, PLEASE send samples to the CORRECT ADDRESS – see the Services order form. (Available upon request or to be found on the “Catalogs”

page of our website: www.alcbevtesting.com.)

Report Delivery:

In our attempts to maintain costs and to reduce paper we issue reports electronically in the form of PDF’s. Invoices are also only to be E-mailed to allow for digital payments. Should you require the hard copies please indicate so on the Sample Submission Form. Single copies will be mailed if required using normal mailing times. Rush mailing may carry extra costs to offset our expenses. Multiple copies of reports (especially those requiring Notarization) will be charged for at $20.00/additional copy. See page 4 for additional charges involved in our testing

and reporting.

We are happy to prepare reports in any of several languages and can issue you template or example copies to streamline the process. Simple Notary certificates (for State to State official purposes) to full Apostilles are possible. Some additional mailing/processing costs may be involved -

see also the “Reports” section above.

Contract Projects and Research:

Brewing and Distilling Analytical Services has been involved in a number of specific and private contract projects with major companies involved in the raw materials, packaging, and beverage industries over the past fourteen years. We have provided test confirmation services and sensory project advice and we look forward to many other such contracts with our clients. We are also working on refining chemical methods and especially in simplifying those tests so that they may be more readily applied directly and easily in our clients’ own laboratories. Collaborations are welcomed. As discussed above project costs start at $75.00/hr plus materials required. Call for full details as

each project is unique.

BDAS, LLC staff are also called upon to help clients start or grow their own laboratory facilities. Such consulting then also incurs

travel and lodging expenses.

Eastern Kentucky University - Partners in Education

Brewing and Distilling Analytical Services has been involved in discussions with Professor Darrin Smith at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, KY (EKU) regarding extended internships, research projects and possibly joint laboratory and teaching ventures. In November 2015 we convened a group of alcohol experts who now regularly communicate on matters of analytical investigation of beverages and provide a high

level of expertise for us all to draw upon.

Classroom Facilities at Red Mile Road

We recently acquired some space and fitted this out as a 20 person classroom for teaching of Sensory evaluation and to hold key meetings of interest to brewers, distillers and winemakers. We will use and encourage others to offer classes, courses and instruction in this new space which is also to serve as our

new sensory evaluation room.
