Hudson bay distillers

   Sounds good I'll shoot you an email ......Paul I don't get the joke 

Tim

Any chance you have a 18 inch round manway in your collection 

You should call Saskatoon boiler @ 1306 652 7022 ask for ray graves this fella is 70 years old and 4th generation boiler maker I would guarantee this guy has forgot more about steam than most people know . Give it a try one call to ray will shock you , no chinese remanufactured stuff in there place . 

Tim

Not sure of your area but here there is a semi nonprofit organization that is in charge of recycling bottles and cans and they are happy to get them for flattened cans , may be a plan in your area I dunno.

Tim

That's interesting stats I wonder when were those stats made is it current numbers

Good stuff glad to hear your going to be a real distillery . We're not far from Edmonton let us know  if ya need anything . 

Tim

Hello where in western Canada are you planing your set up , were in Saskatchewan if there is anything we can help you with just ask . Hope your planing a actual distillery not a gns /Ngs  outfit . 

Tim 

Hello any idea how many bushels a hour it can handle

Tim

Not sure Wayne how big you would need , our boiler is half a million btu/hr . There are lots of people on this forum that are steam experts hope they will offer some input . It always boils down to budget . We have seen to many distilleries in our province that bought to small of electric equipment and can't produce enough to pay the bills so they just switch to using gns and calling it craft ......huge mistake . Out of all the distilleries in Saskatchewan there are only 3 of us that don't buy gns .

 The money you save using dairy tanks can go towards a low preasure steam boiler  , the sooner you have live steam the better . With live steam and steam injection dairy equipment is a dream . 

Tim

Hello way over there good luck with your adventure , I love dairy equipment , the older stuff is built very heavy . If you can get them snap them up it 'll save you alot of money on your start up . 

Tim

That's some tesla kinda smarts right there , I would love to know how this works

  I do like the idea of a wood fired still as burning wood is carbon neutral . The jackass that runs this country has put a carbon tax on everything we buy so costs are very high for us in canada . I believe in making as small of an environmental foot print as possible but I'm sorry I don't believe in the carbon tax or global warming, I think it's marketing  bullshit like 7 times distilled vodka . Our distillery is run by a dzl fired boiler , were sitting on 500 acres of land that grows crops and trees, I think we absorb more carbon than we create.

Tim

Curious to see how many solar panels it takes to run a still . We looked into it and found it not to be cost efficient.  Maybe we missed something.  

Tim

Welcome basil can't wait to here about your adventures 

Tim and kim

Sorry don't have a pic of it , but one of our retailers built a nice display out of a wooden barrel in his store for us . It was cut open like a mini fridge with our product inside and more bottles and pics on the top. Looked pretty cool

 Where abouts are you located . 

Tim

That Vfold is sold in canada so I would think it would be available in the states 

Paul can you explain the science behind these holes , 

Thanks 

Thanks do you have a link to that regulation 

Hello I was wondering if anyone has reference to the laws that govern the use of NGS/fuel alcohol in craft distilleries in British Columbia. Thanks 

 Your welcome Jon glad you got it working.

Tim

Thanks blue star we 'll look into them .

Kim

Hello all got a simple question . As far as short run desk top label printers what's the favorite , primera or Epson. Thanks 

Tim
