  1. We created a PVC pipe with a valve at the bottom, and used our regular manual filler. So, the PVC pipe takes the place of the regular bottle. Hard to explain, I'll send a photo when I get back to the distillery next week.
  2. You're right, I should have defined "reasonably priced," especially since everything in this business costs more than you think it should! We were quoted a load cell system for about $11,000 installed. For an accurate (TTB flow meter, I would think anything in the $3000 to $6000 range would be acceptable. And thanks for the links....i'll check them out now. JS
  3. Good morning, I am looking for a reasonably priced in-line flow meter that will meet the US Code of Federal Regulations (26 USC 5204, Section 19.188 Measuring devices and proofing instruments). A direct quote: "© Meters. A proprietor may use an accurate mass flow meter to measure the volume of bulk spirits. A mass flow meter used for tax determination of bulk spirits must be certified by the manufacturer or other qualified person as accurate within a tolerance of plus or minus 0.1 percent." We use sanitary (1.5 inch) connections, and our pumps average anywhere from 2 to 20 gallons per minute, depending on what/where we're pumping. We're making vodka, so we don't need to meter anything with high viscosity...it's either water or GNS! Any suggestions? Thanks, John Cinco Vodka
