  1. Definitely sounds like Refermentation. Common issue is beer canning if mistakes happen.
  2. Just thinking out loud here. Calcium Carbonate vs Calcium Sulfate... is one a better buffer? Better solubility? I'm a carbonate guy because of beer. Would sulfates impact things?
  3. If I recall correctly Hemp is particularly oily, so it may effect the process. As well, it isn't exactly flavour neutral. But if you give it a go, send me a sample. For "Research" purposes. 🤪
  4. Seems that the PH drops like a stone as the fermentation is ongoing. With no buffering salts this is expected. Have you tried adding something to neutralize the Acid?
  5. We grabbed a small system from them for testing but are a ways from firing it up still. Seems they are chinese imported with NA electrics.
  6. PanamaDave, Theoretically you can harvest yeast and eventually have its characteristics change over time, but those changes are random and slow. Unless you are basically always pitching and harvesting there is likely to be lags in production that will stress the viability of the yeast. Of course if you are planning a huge distillery this could easily be overcome. As to harvesting/recovering yeast after fermentation this is common practice in the beer world, and could be done if you sanitation regime is solid. This would be easiest by far if your fermentation is done off the grain, as it allows for easier clearing etc. I've never tried it grain in so perhaps someone else can sound off. Real World: You might be able to repitch occasionally. Finding a strain that suits your operating conditions is best. Lots of whiskey and rum distilleries are in come pretty warm climates.
  7. That sounds like stratification. Do you agitate after/during blending?
  8. I mean, if you are going to have a beer, maybe have a real one... 😀
  9. I just wanted to pop back into this thread and thank everyone that offered help. We are looking at locations and forging ahead.

    flavored

    My experience with cherry is that you need a significant portion (if not completely) of sour cherries, not sweet. Often the medicinal/cough syrup components are either artificial or a sweet variety of cherry. To maximize flavour and and aroma a blend of sour and sweet is often a safe bet.

    Are you looking for real cherry or man made?
  12. It would depend on the column size. Consider ADE or Still Dragon for quick and cheap.
