<![CDATA[Everything But the Barrel]]>Master Distiller Rabbi Ben Terebelo — Blending Tradition, Technology, and Transformation

Rabbi Ben Terebelo stands at the crossroads of craft and technology — a master distiller, entrepreneur, and innovator reshaping how the alcohol industry works. Known to many from his appearance on the Discovery Channel’s Moonshiners: Master Distiller, Rabbi Ben brings together deep tradition, precision science, and creative vision.

For more than fifteen years, he has honed the art of distilling with a respect for heritage and authenticity rarely seen in modern production. Every batch he has touched reflects a commitment to detail — from the sourcing of ingredients to the fine balance of proof and flavor. His approach unites his rabbinic precision with the craftsmanship of a distiller who understands both chemistry and spirit.

Yet Rabbi Ben’s impact reaches far beyond the still. Seeing how distillers, brewers, and winemakers struggled with complex federal and state reporting, he created TTBMath.com, an advanced software platform built to simplify the industry’s most complicated side: compliance, paperwork, and process. TTBMath automates formulas, reports, and approvals for distilleries, breweries, and wineries — saving time, reducing errors, and ensuring full regulatory confidence. It bridges old-world production with new-world data.

Through TTBMath, Rabbi Ben has become a trusted resource for producers large and small. His work with accountants, compliance experts, and manufacturers helps thousands of businesses operate efficiently, letting them focus on what they do best — crafting exceptional beverages. His team’s goal is simple: handle everything in the industry except making the drink itself.

That idea inspired his next project — a podcast that brings together the entire world of alcohol production. Featuring winemakers, brewers, distillers, lawyers, accountants, and regulators, the show dives into every aspect of running a beverage business: from concept to compliance, from label to launch. It’s the behind-the-scenes conversation every producer needs, whether just starting out or running a multi-state brand.

Where most people see barriers of paperwork and red tape, Rabbi Ben sees opportunities for connection, education, and innovation. His background in Jewish law and ethics brings an uncommon level of structure and integrity to an industry that depends on both precision and passion.

The podcast — inspired by the philosophy of “All But the Batch” — embodies his mission: to support every maker, brewer, and vintner through the entire journey, except the brewing, fermenting, or distilling itself. With warmth, humor, and industry depth, Rabbi Ben Terebelo turns compliance into clarity and transforms technical talk into accessible, engaging conversation.

From his appearance on Master Distiller to the creation of a next-generation industry platform, Rabbi Ben has proven that tradition and technology can coexist — even thrive — together. His work empowers those who craft the world’s most celebrated beverages to focus on creation, confident that the business side is handled with precision, care, and faith in the process.

Rabbi Ben Terebelo’s journey continues to inspire both makers and innovators — bridging the ancient art of fermentation with the digital future of alcohol production. Whether at the still, in the studio, or behind a screen of data, his message is constant: craft with integrity, innovate with purpose, and always build from the spirit outward.

Today's topic is one of my favorites, and that's called siloed purchases.

When you have your distiller ordering the grains and he needs, or is that your winery?

The grapes from all different vineyards.

And if you have one that does a white wine, one winemaker, another one doing the red wine, etc.

They're ordering from different places.

And that's really understandable you're losing out on

bulk purchasing, delivery, friendship, relationships, and the like.

But even at a distillery,

you have one individual ordering the grains,

and that's your distiller.

Then you have the cooper,

or whatever you want to call it,

Located in St. Martin im Sulmtal in Styria, near the foothills of the Koralpe mountain range, the distillery has gained international recognition despite being relatively young.

Origins and Founders

Distillery Krauss was founded in 2007 by Carmen and Werner Krauss, both trained chemists with doctorates in technical chemistry. Their interest in distillation began after attending a short distilling course, which inspired them to install a small still in a 15-square-meter garage at Werner’s parents’ home.

What began as a hobby quickly turned into a serious craft. Their first experimental brandies entered regional tastings and unexpectedly won several medals, encouraging the couple to expand production and turn the project into a professional distillery.

Growth of the Distillery

Over time the distillery grew from a small garage operation using a 100-liter still into an internationally recognized spirits producer. In 2018 the company moved to a larger facility, allowing it to expand production and employ a small team while still maintaining a craft approach.

Even with this expansion, the original small still is still used for experimentation and new product development.

Spirits and Style

Krauss began with traditional Austrian fruit brandies, a category that emphasizes the purity of fruit and careful distillation. Over time the range expanded to include:

  • Gin (their most internationally recognized product)
  • Whisky
  • Rum
  • Vodka
  • Apple brandy and other fruit eaux-de-vie
  • Specialty spirits such as anise and flavored vodka

Their philosophy combines local ingredients, alpine water, and careful small-batch distillation, reflecting both Austrian fruit-spirit traditions and modern craft distilling techniques.

International Recognition

Despite its relatively young age, Distillery Krauss has received dozens of international awards. Highlights include:

  • “Distillery of the Year” at the World Spirits Awards
  • Numerous gold and double-gold medals for gin, brandy, and whisky
  • Recognition for its Saffron-infused Dry Gin and fruit brandies
  • Around 100 medals across international competitions

Their Sulm Valley Whisky has also been highly rated in global competitions, helping place Austria on the modern whisky map.

A Modern Austrian Distilling Success

Distillery Krauss represents a new generation of European craft distilleries—small, technically skilled producers blending science, tradition, and innovation. From humble garage beginnings, the distillery has grown into an internationally awarded producer whose spirits showcase both Styrian fruit traditions and contemporary craft distilling.
