I am looking for 50ml miniature square whiskey bottles.

This is what I am using with good results. http://www.gwkent.com/cip-miniature-316-ss-mini-whirling-spray-nozzles.html

I am just starting the process and I had not come across that yet.

WhiskeyBravo, Let me know when.

Let me know if I can help. I opened the first distillery in Alabama since Prohibition and have 23 years in craft brewing.

I am looking for 53 gallon used barrels. Let me know what you have available. jamie at highridgespirits.com

The way I read it was all members of an LLC need to file OOI forms. Other corporations did not require OOI under 10%. We also went down and got fingerprinted together for the State. It was a great bonding experience!

We received our DSP after 97 days. I had to make two corrections, one on the diagram and I had to resubmit the bond form which was lost. I made both corrections the same day. The corrections were reviewed 30 days later and we got approval the next day. State of Alabama approval 11 days later. Time to start mashing.

My brewery uses a loop inside of the boiler for instant hot water. It is an "optimizer" designed to preheat the boiler feed water. We use it as instant hot water to sterilize the filter. In theory it will heat 40 gallon per minute 100 degrees. Since I do not have enough flow for it I get a mixture of boiling water and steam. You can use a small brazed plate heat exchanger with a pump and a holding tank for hot water and it will work very well. At another brewery we used that system and since the return entered the hot liquor tank from the spray ball the effect of the aeration while heating dropped the pH of the water some as well as being able to heat the hot liquor about 1 degree per minute.

I bought two Brock flex augers and a grist case from my local farm supply and they work great.

I have been investigating direct steam heating of the mash and from what my boiler people are telling me is that if I wanted to make the steam safe to inject into the mash that I would have give up the buffers that are carried with the steam that would protect the condensate return system,and the jackets and piping would break down more quickly. I run a 3,000,000 btu boiler powering a 30 BBL brewhouse.
