Well, we jumped the gun ever so slightly and picked up a used bulk tank for use as a mash tun. 300 gallon capacity, was used to make sugar syrups prior. Pretty good shape, has the agitator but needs a new motor. Single wall, no jacket, domed bottom. So now comes the tricky part... easiest/smartest way to turn this thing in to a cooker? A couple contraints: We're not doing steam, so that's out and we won't likely have 3 phase power for the foreseeable future. We're looking to cook 100% corn or a sugar wash for starters. Move on to a more standard bourbon grain bill after that. Which makes the handling of electric elements tricky with the whole scorching issues. We are open to the possiblity of strikewater if we absolutely have to. Probably not the ideal set up but we're starting on a shoe string and this tank leaves us good room to grow (or even convert to a big pot down the line!) Here's a pic of the new baby. (Damrow 300surg gallon dairy/food tank.)

Hey folks, I've been gearing up to produce some whiskey from unmalted barley. I've done a few very small test mashes so far and the results have been a little disappointing. My efficiency is traditionally good with corn and rye but these have been really reluctant to give me what I'm looking for. Some details: - I'm trying for a ~28 gallon beer (5 lbs grain w/ 2.2 gallons water up front for a final volume of 2.5 gallons wash) - I'm gelating above 190 for nearly an hour - have tried both 10% & 30% malt additions - have tried to reduce viscosity with "rests" at ~105 and 130 (tho given mash thickness, I probably didn't wait long enough) I eventually saw conversion pick up when I finally bumped my saccharification temp up to ~150, but in the end I still got much lower extraction than I do on corn and rye. I have not done a starch test yet, though the wort does look turbid throughout the mash. I've assumed this cloudiness is from a protein-rich batch of grain. I have stirred these mashes as I normally do, which is every 20 or so mins. I'm curious if an abundance of protein/glucan can congest the wort to a point where conversion is compromised? Are the enzymes likely to just get bogged down like that? At this point, I might try using the 30% malt in three additions: 3% premalt, 13.5% at start of mash schedule, then another 13.5% after 145 deg saccharification. I'm thinking with this last addition I can extend conversion into the high 150s w/o worrying about denaturing things too quickly. I'm running out of ideas on this and would like to figure it out without hightempase or such. Are there any particular tricks to mashing unmalted barley (and other protein-rich grains)? Clearly the Irish make it work, and I'm guessing they don't use enzymes either. Cheers!

As a distillery that ferments and distills on the grain - I am looking for a solution to separate the grain from the slop after distillation. What - if anything are you using to accomplish the separation? I have a farmer lined up farmer to take all of the grain however he would like it separated from the liquid. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hello Everyone, My name is Dennis Schoenwald and I am a Sales Engineer/Project Manager for a mechanical manufacturer called RMS Roller Grinder located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota USA. My company has been established since the early 1980s in servicing roller mills of all makes and models within the feed and grain industry all over North America and beyond. Bill Owens contacted me a few weeks ago about advertising and helping the Craft American Distilllery market out like I did with the Craft Brewery scene this past year. As one advid brewer to another, we shared similiar ideas and recommendations to help educate and improve the craft distillery market. Our discussion involved particular attention to detail on milling grains from malted barley down to flour to rye to corn and beyond. I have had great pleasure on creating and delievering "BREWER" friendly mills for the craft brew scene with our 2 rollers, 4 rollers, 6 rollers, and NOW our new 8 roller grinder for distilleries and mash filter applications. I am currently working on a handful of distillery projects using our 6 & 8 roller grinders within different geographies across the U.S. I am hoping that I can influence and help improve your milling applications if you are looking for: 1. Dust tight machines, dust-free sample ports on our machines to help you maintain the highest quality grind 2. Better consistency of grain milled 3. 250-350 Microns (Flour)/Particle Size with a low standard deviation ranging from 1.5-2.0 on all 6 rollers & 8 rollers 4. Improved Efficiencies with each batch allowing for less grain to be utilized 5. More control of product characteristics 6. Improve flow ability through take away systems 7. All adjustments located conveniently on the front of machine; no need to remove covers, screens, belt guards, etc. 8. Energy cost saving motors and start up panels using 50% less KwH so your are not amp'd out from the intial startup for the day 9. Service & Support 24/7 365 days with a direct cell phone line to your Rep to trouble shoot or educate...ME 10. American made in the Upper Midwest I would very much like to help each and everyone within your industry on their malt/grain handling equipment for any new startup project or expansion. Feel free to contact me anytime to discuss your current needs or applications. Thank you for your time and I look forward to improving your products!

These Boilers were purchased by me off Craigslist for installation in my new Distillery. The Nat Gas Utility to the building is insufficient to support them so I am going a different direction to suit my needs. The Thermaflo unit originates out of an Oregon Brewery that out-grew this boiler. To the best of my knowledge it is fully functional. We have air pressure tested it and replaced the only damaged item, the condensate loop. The Burnham Independence unit came to me from Colorado Springs out of a large Victorian home. It was put into service in 2008 and was then removed last year when the home was gutted for renovation. I was told that the place sat vacant for approx 6 months. So this unit should only have about 2.5 years of service on it. We have also air pressure tested this unit and to the best of my knowledge it works just fine. $3600.00 for Both or as below.
