I agree with 3d0g, I think that this will be another booming year for the distilling industry as a whole. I bet we will have more growth and demand than we had last year. I predict at least 5 more years of fast growth and then after that many years of steady but slower growth. I do not fore see a bursting bubble which will cause everything to come crashing down.

I would be curious to see the filter that is going to let you filter a 60-70% corn mash bill. To me it makes more sense to design a whiskey around the capabilities of your equipment, rather than trying something that will always be an error-prone struggle. I also think you'll have a hell of a time trying to make that mash without an agitator/mixer in your vessel. We've used a method similar to what you describe to make bourbon mash in a 1000L IBC tote (with top cut off) and it requires the use of an agitator to get the grain mixed into the water.

We draw out our gaskets in autocad and pick the material and thickness and have our gasket shop cut it out on a CNC vac table. No, going through a middle man. Super nice.
