  1. I misunderstood because the thread topic is "Citric vs. Sulfuric Acid For Rum Production".
  2. We use about 25% backset and never ever have a need for acidification. If anything, we have issues w/ our ferment bottoming out -- say in the 2.9 range. We use CaOH to raise the pH.
  3. This is no small task. Consider hiring a sales staff to drum up interest from the retail side.
  4. We use whiskey systems. I think it's about $300 / month.
  5. 100% in agreement. Doubly so on the discipline part.
  6. We use a networked Zebra printer for our case labels which make WS less valuable that it could be
  7. I worked with Dave pre DSP approval -- great resource. But post approval for periodic reporting Whiskey Systems makes my life so much simpler. Now only if they'd document and expose an API...
  8. Thanks for everyone's input / suggestions. Have a lengthy list of phonecalls to make tmrw.
  9. That sounds about what I'd expect you to hear from a judge at ADI.
  10. Shit I love their stuff. Big single malt scotch fan and they seem to have that market locked tight as a cats ass.
  11. 27 CFR 19.489 States we must label each case with "Liters or proof gallons". To date we've been labeling thusly: 6 x 750ml. However, per the letter of the reg I'm wondering if we're out of compliance an should change this to 4.5 liters. Thoughts?
  12. Closer to non-existent that not. Worry about things like selling product and paying your lease and staff. In all seriousness. Many would have us believe that a nanogram of leaky vapor will cause a catastrophic explosion. That's simply not the case. Use common sense, don't be cavalier about safety and you'll be fine.
  13. Thing is I don't want to wait for 5,000 liters to heat up -- same boat Im in now. Talk about a long day!
  14. We're again looking to increase our production capacity. Currently we have a 2500 liter pot still. Fairly certain a larger kettle is not the answer. I'm started my list of producers thusly: Vendome Red Boot Headframe Others to whom I should send an RFI?
  15. Big fan of your work and writing. Keep it up and welcome aboard.
  16. What exact bottle & cork are you using? Does this happen with all spirits?
  17. We use Paulson Supply for our corks. Their customer service is second to none. Our packaging uses a synthetic shank w/ shrink sleeve and we've not experience any problems.
  18. Hmm. I'll be damned. We pay $225 for delivery from Dayton to Indianapolis. That's for a 3,100 lbs of fancy.
  19. Just to confirm.. you're sensing the temp of the vapor leaving the deph and not the coolant?

  21. The BAM states: I would simply build a white oak "container" in the form of a box of a known volume and pour the corn whiskey into it, at a known flow rate, allowing it to overflow after aging for one minute.
