  6. Buying more potatos this week for a trial, will run higher temps. I do agitate during the cook process, with the slicer will be working to get a finer grind, it has a french fry cutter that does fine, so that will take some tinkering. Ordered more enzyme, what that arrives will give it a shot. thank you all for your help. ken
  7. Thanks, not really getting the whole, just call a consultant thing on this forum.
  8. Current process. Cleaning and slicing potatoes, skin on. have commercial slicer so that part is quick. Enzymes are amyl 300 and malted wheat. Soaked the potatoes while I slice, then heat slowly up to 140, while mixing. hold then go to 160 and hold. Potatoes are not turning to mash, stay pretty firm. have cooked for 2 hours and then tried longer little over 3 hours. still not getting good conversion. My Whiskey mash is doing great, but potatoes have escaped me. Any corrections to process would be helpful. Thank you,
  9. Hello all, Working on potato vodka, not getting very good yields with fresh potatoes. Any way to increase yields with fresh? getting a low sugar wash, SG 1.025-30 Trying to use local potatoes, so was avoiding flaked if I can. But economic feasibility is important. Cheers, ken
  10. Well looks like all the Still builders are getting busy, probably means Craft distilling is ramping up. just ordered my 300 gal still from Jesse at Trident, busy man but great to talk with. Looking forward to getting up and running later summer 2015. now just 10,000 more details to figure out.
  11. Well I have a quote in hand from Jesse, spoke to him last week about a full setup. Love moonshiners, as realistic as survivor and fox news. Looking for some information about the first few months of startup. Trials and tribulations of getting going? Thanks Ken
  12. Actually looking to start a craft distillery in Bennington VT. Want to do actual craft products, some whiskey, Gin, Vodka maybe and Aquavit. Been fortunate to travel a bit for work and have visited a few distilleries around the country. Getting help from a few local distilleries that are up and running. Curious about others startups and first year of operation. We are stuck on one question. how big to make the first still? 100 gal, 200, 300? First post was just for others to complain about, hope to get some help with this post. Thank you all, Ken
