Password Hell - anyone using password management software?

keepass is great. https://keepass.info/ Don't let the shitty circa 2000 looking website fool you. -
Digging up an old thread... Why do you say this? I assume because there is less ash and thus fewer dissolved solids to skew the density.
-
As are all other distilled spirits.
-
Exactly what we did. Stainless washers to be exact. Drilled holes, insert stainless threaded rod. Epoxy in place.

Welcome from a fellow Hoosier.

Couldnt be better said. This goes for POS or any peripherals (or laptops / desktops) from which you want top tier network performance.
-
The NVR (network video recorder) is a linux box with a hard drive. All of the cameras are hardwired and use POE. Really good stuff. PM me if you want to pick up a call to discuss.
-
How tech proficient are you? If you go the ubiquiti route you can host entirely inside your own network and monitor it externally. I call bullshit on 100 meg for six cameras unless they are 60 FPS and UHD.

"heating" is a stretch. We have 2500 liter fermenters. It maintains heat to about 85 degrees when ambient is in the low 70s. It's just shy of 3000 BTUs / hour.

Drop in a few stainless aquarium heaters.

We have about a dozen in our tasting room / prep area and about 6 in our distillery / bonded space. Ubiquiti. All self installed. High def cameras are about $150. We use their edge router and wifi equipment as well. Really good stuff. We rolled our own NVR using an existing PC with external drive. The software is free.

There was a great discussion just week or two ago. Search is your friend.

Well warranted. Those that truly benefit from "competitions" are the sponsors. That being said, we did at least a half-dozen in our first 18 months. Nice to hand the "awards" to hang on bottles in the tasting room. We've gone back and tasted bottles from our early days. I was less than impressed. Get your sales & marketing ppl involved. Print up neck-hangers for distribution. Don't get a big head when awarded a "gold".
-
I think it would be the issue.
-
sonuvabitch that's a good deal! I was ebay-searching on "camlock" so this never popped up. Thanks!
-
I'm thoroughly intrigued. Curious as to your decision to "pull" the spirit through the filter rather than "push" it.
-
Appreciate this! In the early days we purchased aluminum (aluminium for our UK friends) fittings and the rate at which they oxidized/corroded was remarkable. That being said, I'll keep this in mind in case we're out of other options. Thanks.

I'm looking for a 2" male camlock x 1-1/2" MPT. I've found one here: https://www.camlockdirect.com/stainless-steel-2-camlock-male-x-1-1-2-male-npt But would prefer not paying $187 for it. Anyone?
-
I assume then that those CMC tanks have the jacket on one side?
-
Biggest regret on our semi-conicals (15 degree rather than 60 degree bottom) is that at the very least we didn't have flanges installed which could accommodate an agitator. Im curious what your impeller arrangement is like on these.
-
Do you actually harvest rum yeast? Any concern about what else may be growing? My boss is always riding my ass about lowering COGS and harvesting yeast would go a long ways toward that.
-
Same with use CI through local broker
-
I know nothing about your still but if you distill it to 190 it'll be fairly neutral. Try it and find out. When we run our gin we through out the product at the end that starts tasting a bit muddy. Less expensive than stripping flavor.
-
Are you sourcing GNS or making your own? If the former, it's much cheaper to dump it that redistill.
-
Then there's the problem of defining what exactly is moonshine. Traditionally I would have said 100% corn whiskey but my guess is that now real moonshine (that which is produced illegally) is probably sugar-shine with no cuts taken. Our sells OK in the tasting room but not in retail outlets.
