Dr. Klaus Hagmann Distillery Consulting
My values, my philosophy, my passion
My name is Klaus Hagmann and my passion is distillation.
It all began with my diploma and doctoral thesis at the former Institute of Food Technology, in the field of fermentation technology and the related ancillary activities at the fruit distillery courses which were already well attended at that time. The desire to own my own distillery became more and more intense and I can still understand today what the alchemists of the Middle Ages must have felt when the first drops of distillate flowed from their simple distillation devices.
Once you have caught fire, this feeling never lets you go. You try to get everything out of the raw materials, play with distillation devices and achieve ever greater precision.
The deeper you get into the matter, the more you add to it and in the end you want to have everything in your own hands, from the raw material to the finished bottle. For many years I have done nothing else and my profession and passion is to share my experience and knowledge with you.
But feel free to form your own opinion on my homepage. I wish you a lot of fun while browsing and I am looking forward to a mutual exchange.
