    NY NGS and Vodka

    in For Sale - Peer to Peer

    Posted

    Hi All,

    I'm just reaching out to see what the interest would be in bulk sales of New York produced NGS and Vodka. This would be made with 100% New York grain, and 100% New York Malt. This can be made to any specification you may have, And any recipe you may have. Being as it's 100% NY made, with 100% NY  grain, This would allow NY distilleries to keep their Farm Distillery exemption. 

    Thank you in advance.

    Bottles for Sale

    in For Sale - Peer to Peer

    Hi All, 

    I'm selling some overstock Glass. I have 9 pallets of O.I Pinch Grandure, 750mls bartop bottles at $1.70 per bottle shipped as well as 14 pallets of O.I Imperial 750mls bartop bottles for the same price. Price could be negotiable for bulk purchases of either one. 

    Let me know if anyone is interested. 

    Thanks

    What do you do with your heads?

    in Technique

    Posted

    I'm taking all of my heads and tails from the previous days run, And adding them to the beer well every morning and running them through the continuous column with the green beer. Most of the heads volatilize and gas off, while keeping my yield pretty consistent.  I'm very meticulous about base line samples and didn't notice a single change in quality when I switched to this process. By doing this, I was able to gain an extra 53 Gallon barrel per day. 

    This is just my opinion. 

    Column Still Whiskey Run Questions

    in Whiskey

    Posted

    I'm wondering why your proof is decreasing. I'm running a 42' column with 24 plates and my proof is as stable as it comes, But I'm also running 3000 gallons a day through a beer well.  Are you running a beer well, Or are you running straight from the fermenter? If you're running a beer well, It will keep the consistency of the run more stable. Hell, Even if you just agitate the fermenter it should help. 

    Control state sales

    in Distribution

    Hi all, 

    Would anyone be willing to walk me through the process of getting listed in control states? I'm finding it very difficult to find a clear answer as to what licensing and paperwork needs to be completed in order to self distribute to these states. 

    Thanks in advance

    TTB stopped our production due to high proof

    in General Discussion

    As for TTB tolerance, You are allowed .3 across the board for any product, But that is lower, Not higher. For example say your product is 92.0 proof it can be no lower than 91.70 and absolutely no higher than 92.0.

    I don't want to sound rude in any way, But after having a distillery for 20 years I'm surprised that you weren't aware of this already.

    400 Gallon Blending Tank

    I needed a tank just like that, But got to looking around and found a used Milk mixing tank for less that half of that price. It came with a single phase, 220v lightning mixer, jacketed cooling and it's own chiller. I see your right in the heart of dairy country. You might want to look around. I'm sure you could find the same thing pretty close, And save even more money if you pick it up. 

    Boiler location

    in Equipment

    Posted

    I've always been under the same impression, That the boiler must be in a fire proof room of it's own. But I agree different states have different codes. In Wisconsin, I have a 200 HP hi pressure boiler installed in the distillery with zero protection around it, And the closest still is about 20 feet away. 

    Strategies for getting started?

    I hate to even suggest this, Being as I'm so against NDP's, But there is a lot of really good bulk Bourbon available right now. It might be a good way to generate a positive cash flow while you are waiting to get set up. As a bonus, The TTB is running faster than ever as far as COLA's and formulas go.

    If you have the money, These are a must. I've used the DMA 3500 with the alcoholizer for years, And just bought the DMA 4500MEC with the alcoholizer as well as the Snap 50 for my new facility. The Snap 40 is not temperature adjusted, So it will only get you close. The Snap 50 is temperature adjusted so it's pretty spot on, Although neither one of the handheld units are listed as acceptable means of proofing by the TTB, they just save a lot of time on the floor for post run gauging, Barrel proofing, And initial barrel dump gauging. The 3500 and the 4500 benchtop models are TTb approved units. 

    But get ready to drop $45,000

    Daily Records

    In my opinion,

    You should think about what your time is worth, in terms of money spent. If you are doing daily production plus sales, either on or off premise, you're probably going to have 20 plus hours per month invested in keeping records straight, All the while hoping you don't make some sort of small mistake.

    In the interest of total transparency, I am currently using Whiskey systems. But I have used excell for years prior to Whiskey systems, And I'd never go back to excell in a million years. I've got a million other things to worry about besides spending half a week or more a month doing reports that I'd probably mess up anyway.

    Just my 2 cents.
