I had one of my employees look into it. He didn't find anything so he is checking with our supplier and I will get back to you with what he finds out. As far as I know none of our customers have ever had any issues with them, but we have only been in business for 12 years. -
Source: https://www.nytimes.com/ April 21, 2024 To the Editor: Re “A Debate Over Cancer Warning Labels on Alcohol” (Science Times, April 9): This article does an admirable job of spotlighting efforts around the world to require cancer warnings on alcohol. In fact, similar efforts to improve alcohol labeling are gaining traction in the U.S. Just last month, U.S. regulators held listening sessions about including ingredients, nutritional information and allergen labeling on alcoholic beverages. And in 2020, a coalition of seven health advocacy groups petitioned the U.S. government to adopt a cancer warning label. U.S. law directs regulators to consult with the surgeon general and “promptly” report to Congress when the need for an amendment to alcohol warnings arises. But more than seven years have passed since the surgeon general proclaimed a link between alcohol and cancer with no action from the Treasury Department’s Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, which regulates most alcohol products. It’s great news that governments are taking steps so that residents of Ireland, Thailand and Canada will finally get the truth about alcohol, and it’s long past time for the U.S. to follow suit. Christina LiPuma Burlington, Vt. The writer is a policy associate at the Center for Science in the Public Interest. To the Editor: We object to how your article portrays the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States’ perspective with regard to labeling alcohol beverages to warn consumers about possible health concerns. DISCUS supports appropriate labeling, which has been required in the United States since 1988. Unlike U.S. labels, which address a broad scope of health concerns in a clear manner, Ireland’s proposed labels suggest that any amount of consumption leads to liver disease or a fatal cancer. As DISCUS commented formally to the Irish government, the labels fail to differentiate between moderate and excessive alcohol consumption and contradict Ireland’s own low-risk guidelines on the responsible consumption of alcohol. Sign up for the Opinion Today newsletter Get expert analysis of the news and a guide to the big ideas shaping the world every weekday morning. Get it sent to your inbox. Consumers would be best served by a health warning label that is consistent throughout the European Union and accurately reflects scientific data on alcohol and health. DISCUS is committed to and fully supports the public health objective of combating the harmful use of alcohol in all forms. For adults who choose to drink, we encourage moderate consumption; some people should not consume alcohol at all, and we support that decision. We encourage everyone to talk to their health care providers about alcohol to determine what is best for them based on individual factors and family history. Amanda Berger Washington The writer is vice president, science and health, for the Distilled Spirits Council. To the Editor: As a public health student, I find it fascinating that the need for clear warning labels on alcoholic beverages is up for debate. In my epidemiology class, the cancers we studied all had alcohol consumption as a risk factor. Thus, public health awareness about the link between alcohol and cancer must be prioritized. Ireland’s decision to boldly label alcohol as a carcinogen is a step in the right direction. Sure, a label is no replacement for a detailed explanation of all the science behind why alcohol causes cancer, but it can serve as a bright red flag for those consuming it. Besides, warning labels on carcinogens are not a new concept, with cigarettes getting the warning treatment since the 1960s. Warning labels do not mean that people are restricted from drinking. Rather, it is about giving consumers the facts they need to make informed decisions. So, let’s give credit where it’s due. Ireland’s proposal isn’t about demonizing alcohol; it’s about empowering consumers to make healthier choices. After all, who wouldn’t want to know if their favorite drink could be harming them? Cheers to Ireland for leading the charge. Let’s raise a toast to transparency and good health everywhere. Sinchana Srinivas Berkeley, Calif.

200 gallon mashtun/stripping still
RobCampbell replied to RobCampbell's topic in For Sale - Peer to Peer
This is located outside Madison, WI. It has the tubes and and connectors for the CIP. It does not have the pump. The cooling is water. It switches between steam heat and water cooling. -
Depending on what you are running you can do a normal distillation, just take your heads cut and discard them. Or if you want to do a small sacrificial run that works too, just be sure the boiler is charged enough so as not to run dry.
-
@Kindred Spirits Thank you very much for your advices, I will put them in pratice next week! I have just a last question, after doing a vinegar run, should i do a sacrificial run (with some of my heads for exemple) or just distilling water will rinse the vinegar?
-
A vinegar run would be a good idea especially if you take it apart for cleaning its more like a finishing process for cleaning. I like to use them for leak detection as well because does get in all the cracks an crevices and the smell alerts you to any potential leaks. Depending on the buildup you see during single spirit type runs you can typically get away with a good CIP cleaning process. If the buildup is significant due to wash crusting on the sides of the boiler you might have to get in there and scrub it off.
-
@Kindred Spirits Not much, some verdigris in the column, some fungus i think on the inside of the pot and some kind of orange powder on the inside of the head pot that i cannot reach very well to clean with a brush (i might just disassemble it for cleaning). It's that i have not used the still for a few month so i would like a deep clean before starting again the rum production in July. And also know what type of cleaning to do a few times a year and between different type of spirits. So no vinegar run for a deep clean of the entire pipe system? I tough that the vapor will get to some place that water will not go.
