Hudson bay distillers Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 yes im very happy we jumped on it when it came up . it very trouble free once pumps are running it just runs itself . was well worth the cost for sure . id post snap chat video but dont know how . tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patio29Dadio Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I am considering a 3 cubic yard self-dumping de-watering hopper for stillage liquid-grain separation. That will hold the contents of two 300G stripping runs. My plan is to fill it and leave it to drain over-night. The next morning dump the grain waste into hoppers for a farmer to pick up. Then rinse and repeat. Anybody use a similar method? How do you think that would compare to a process using a hydrosieve instead? I assume that fines from grain-on stillage will clog this hydrosieve.

Hudson bay distillers Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 patio29 dadio not sure about a grain in process like you mention , we use the hydrosieve to separate 3rd water from spent grain . as far as fines goes were currently running malt barley thru our process but it is ground very fine . no problem with plugging the hydro sieve the spent grain rolls down and cleans itself . we don't ferment or distill on the grain as it doesn't suit our continuous column , we need our wort and distillers beer clean . we do plan on doing a batch on the grain to compare but haven so far . tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'd be interested in. Should these work to dewater a grain-in ferment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson bay distillers Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 cant prove it yet but i cant see why it wont work , im heating the mash tun as we speak so today is the day we ll try it . probably will dewater the spent grain before we distill it and rinse the grain before feeding it out . i ll let you know how this experiment works out . tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mheisz Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Just curious...how did this work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudson bay distillers Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 well the grain in project worked out fine , grain came off no problem . the hydro sieve worked like a charm . if our stripping still was a pot still not continuous column i would not hesitate to do grain in all the time . so its all good good . tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
