  1. John: I also agree that these rigs look awesome. I sent you an email. Looking forward to more discussions. Thanks. Brad
  2. This is the same setup I plan on using as well.
  3. I agree! That property is something else. Wish it were close to me. Best of luck finding the right operator.
  4. ebstauffer, Wouldn't an RO system filter out the chloromine or chlorine as its contains activated carbon? Do you add the potassium to each mash prior to the addition of your grains? Do you do anything for particulates in your water? I will be using muni water from a rather large suburban area and these questions have been haunting me for some time. Thank you in advance.
  5. I see a lot of DSPs utilizing this technology. What filter you using? I see cost anywhere from $2000 to $15000 for what appears to be comparable filtration units. Thanks in advance.
  6. Another place to look is www.afsproducts.com. They seem to have really reasonable prices and it was suggested on another post in the forums.
  7. I'll echo Bluestone's sentiment. Batch size and type of equipment are going to dictate what your needs are and your yields. Recipes are scalable and often done by percentages. There are several posts that can be found by searching these forums so I won't rehash it all (heck most have a better understanding and explanation of the topic than I do). The best advice I have received so far is to read everything I can get my hands regarding this business. This includes authorities like Fermented Beverage Production which after being told and reading a portion of it, should be impressed upon newcomers to the commercial distilling industry as required reading. I am waiting for my complete copy and plan to study study study to improve upon my numbers. Best of luck to you.
  8. At this point. I've listened to all but the latest podcast and I must say that as a newbie, these are a must listen. It certainly gives you a variety of information and shows the uniqueness behind each craft distillery and their products. Hats off to guys/gals at Firewater Network.
  9. Welcome. I'm in King of Prussia, PA. There are lots of operations across the border here that you may want to visit. Also, there is a distillery in Camden (Cooper River) that is offering an aspiring distiller course going over TTB issues paperwork etc. Maybe you should check that out. I've spoke to a couple of guys over there and they seem very nice.
  10. This poster has posted nothing but gibberish and spam. I'm not if this poster ever was legitimate as I don't recognize the poster name. Admins probably want to look into this one. Thanks.
  11. I'm going to assume this poor member got hacked.
  12. Relatively new to the forums and to this business. However, I am a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I would never allow one of my many business clients to sign an agreement like that. And I certainly wouldn't do it either. Just my $0.02. Good luck!
  13. I know if a couple places that are young or are looking to open County Seat, Thistle Finch, Manatawny Still Works, and a few others. The craft is certainly alive and well in our area. I haven't reached out to them specifically, but plan to as I continue to develop my plans. I was younger during the 90's SB runs and it's still vivid in my mind and heartbreaking.
  14. He did great on a sub par offense with a not so good QB. Next year could be rough with a coaching change and new QB.
  15. That's awesome. I grew up south of buffalo. I'm a big Sabres and Bills fan. I'm also glad to the Queen Coty bounce back.
  16. Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice. In all liklihood, I'll be seeking a consutant for this, but I'd like to have a ballpark idea and figure for what I'm getting myself into.
  17. How big of a poly tank would I need to cool a 300 gal mash tun?
  18. Any idea what kind of hardware and cost it will take to have closed loop water cooling system for a 200 gallon stil with 4 plate whiskey column and 16 plate vodka column? As I understand that location matters, l am in the Northeast (specifically SE PA). Thanks in advance.
  19. I am looking to do an all low pressure steam heat system for my mash tun and still. I havent been able to find many resources on contorllers for this type of setup. Any suggestions?
  20. Thank you. Now imagine coming from cow country to become a resident like I did four years ago.
