Hudson bay distillers

bear in mind thats 325 canadian dollars so with 30 percent exchange plus ridiculous shipping costs we can pretty much bank on double the price of anything we buy outta the US .  

we just paid 325 for once dumped 53 gallon barrels 

here is a simple video that you might find interesting 

  where are you located . 

tim 

our engineer set our place up exactly like what you described paul . our building inspector would blow a gasket if our panel box was beside our still. i guess there different inspectors for different parts of the province . 

not every area has the same rules tho 

how are you testing your mash to come up with 10 percent abv 

ya thats true ours is in the walls and in cement or under ground .

here some info on pex

pex is still the easiest to run and way cheaper than copper , temp rated to 180 f and ethyl alcohol compatible , seems like a no brainer lol 

tim 

ya with green malt that would be sweet . the pto driven grinder is from a mink ranch originally grinds frozen chickens and turkeys as fast as you can thro them in lol but it will make a 100hp tractor burn black . ...how small of a bur did u use for green malt .

tim

ok here comes another dumb question do you pre soak the grain first or do you put it thru and add water as it goes like a grist dehydrator . we have 2 grinders left over from when we raced sled dogs one is a 5 horse electric and the big one is turned with pto on the tractor , i may give this a try . 

tim 

all depends where your from 

ok here is a dumb question but what is the advantage of wet milling 

tim 

very cool that you built your own personally i would love to see how you did it if your willing to share your experience .  i would also be interested has anyone tried a side by side comparison of flavor profile between wooden wash backs and plastic or stainless , with all grain mashes . 

tim 

here is a link to a research paper that is well worth reading , the first 49 pages are interesting the rest .....well up to you lol

cant even guess a answer for you julius . i finally found the answer i needed off another forum and confirmed it with our local authority 

tim 

congrats .....onward and upward best of luck to you . maybe some day we can get away and visit ya . 

kim 

hello three oaks , can you remove the screen in you cart after your wort has been drained  off . if you can u may be able to add waste water and backset in with the grain until it is a slurry and be pumped out with simple 2 inch submersible sewer pump . just an idea 

tim 

thanks for the info guys were not in a position to buy one yet lol . i was just curious if any one in canada was using them as we had an inspector tell us that they cant be used in Canada for the production of beverage alcohol . Tim broke out laughing but i figured id ask if any one is using them . 

Kim  

good morning all . Im trying to find a list of chemicals and chemical compounds that would appear in a all grain mash and all grain distillate. a list or a link would be great . im thinking  that your ttb regs would have a list of acceptable components and there ppm tolerances  that they would use if they had to test a product for contamination . thanks . 

Tim 

hello all i was wondering if there are any Canadian distillers using wooden wash backs or fermenters .thanks 

kim 

silk you made my day ......

hope our water doesnt come back with arsenic in it we have been drinking ever since we moved here lol . 

thanks for that link looks like a great option .
