ncataldo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 i need some guidance. the water district is asking for my recipe and the amount of waste water i will be using. am i required to hand over my recipe? also i will be using a 200L still, does anyone have a reasonable estimate of the water that would be used to cool the distillate from a single run? anything would be helpful so i can answer the questions that they have asked me. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevea Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'd give them a call and see what details they need. Also talk to any microbrewery in the water district - they might help you sate the bureaucracy. You certainly shouldn't need to spec which yeasts you use or the relative amounts of various grains. If you aren't doing grist-in distilling, then you can probably describe stillage as 'N' Plato beer (w/ yeast) & ethanol removed. My local district want's to nick you if the pH is too far of neutral, if the biological oxygen demand (BOD) is too high[likely], or if the temperature is too far out of whack. Water use for cooling depends on temps & the efficiency of your cooling system. Someone else can address that better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
