Sec. 25.57  Formula information.

    (a) Ingredient information. (1) For each formula you must list each 
separate ingredient and the specific quantity used, or a range of 
quantities used. You may include optional ingredients in a formula if 
they do not impact the labeling or identity of the finished product.
    (2) For fermented products containing flavorings you must list for 
each formula: The name of the flavor; the product number or TTB drawback 
number and approval date of the flavor; the name and location (city and 
State) of the flavor manufacturer; the alcohol content of the flavor; 
and the point of production at which the flavor was added (that is, 
before, during, or after fermentation).
    (3) For formulas that include the use of flavors and other 
nonbeverage ingredients containing alcohol, you must explicitly 
indicate:
    (i) The volume and alcohol content of the beer base;
    (ii) The maximum volumes of the flavors and other nonbeverage 
ingredients containing alcohol to be used;
    (iii) The alcoholic strength of the flavors and other nonbeverage 
ingredients containing alcohol;
    (iv) The overall alcohol contribution to the finished product 
provided by the addition of any flavors or other nonbeverage ingredients 
containing alcohol. You are not required to list the alcohol 
contribution of individual flavors and other nonbeverage ingredients 
containing alcohol. You may state the total alcohol contribution from 
these ingredients to the finished product; and
    (v) The final volume and alcohol content of the finished product.

    (b) Process information. For each formula you must describe in 
detail each process used to produce a fermented beverage.
    (c) Alcohol content. For each formula you must state the alcohol 
content of the fermented product after fermentation and the alcohol 
content of the finished product.
    (d) Beer base formulas. You must refer in your formula to any 
approved formula number that covers the production of any beer base used 
in producing the formula product. If the beer base was produced by 
another brewery of the same ownership, you must also provide the name 
and address or name and registry number of that brewery.
    (e) Additional information. The appropriate TTB officer may at any 
time require you to file additional information concerning a fermented 
product, ingredients, or processes, in order to determine whether a 
formula should be approved or disapproved or whether the approval of a 
formula should be continued.
