I'm replacing my 3 phase on demand hot water heater because I only have single phase now.

My 3 phase is a beast, Eemax EX240T2T would heat the water to extreme temperatures.  Actually could get steam by mistake if I cranked it.

The single phase heaters I'm looking at either heat up to 140F adjustable or from 140F to 180F adjustable.  

My question is, has anyone seen a need to have your water hotter than 140F?  

fyi, the 3 phase heater is for sale now.

Geez this guy's an asshole.

Are you selling to retailers or to your contract customers?  

I'm wondering if 60 is too many to expect retailers to purchase.

How many 50 ml bottles are you putting in a carton? Obviously a lot can fit in a small carton, but what's the standard that retailers are purchasing at?

If this is covered elsewhere please point the way.

For those of you who sell outside your main geographical area:  are you using a broker to market your products?  What is their compensation?

This question is about brokers not distributors.  The broker will take your unknown and non-distributed product to a new market and find distribution and push sales.   They will not actually distribute the products.

HAH!  I was just searching for "broker" threads and this popped up.  I first read the headline as "What to do with all the dickheads!?"  HAH!

I guess that's appropriate for some "brokers".

Can but not must, unless it's not right of course.

Just click the link in my post.  eazy peazy

My understanding of that regulation is you must gauge your spirits after filtration, not cut to final proof after filtration.

As for international orders, remember that you'll need a customs bond, import duties, etc that can significantly add to the cost of your bottles (at least in our dealings with China)

Customs bond is $259/year, glass bottles are duty free under hts 7010.90.5019 .

Oh sorry i thought this was a post on the American Distilling Institute forum. But sure they can be from anywhere.  So Turbo where you from? 

 

Apparently there's a new sheriff in town...

So by doing it legally you have a DSP then?  

 

So by posting on this forum you have to live in the US then?

better check on that, mine wasn't 3 phase

If you're distributor is promising you to rep your product, then they're blowing smoke up your ass. 

 

So true...

Anyone else received an email solicitation from Synergy Wine And Spirits Group?

Got one today.  Replied and requested brand references, and received a reply back stating all customers are confidential.  Just curious if anyone has dealt with these folks or knows about them.

So anyone with a Mori filler want to describe their cleaning procedure?  Must have taken me a couple hours to clean this...

I will change the sub Micron cartridge filter out for each different spirit. I will put those in a container filled with the same Spirit it just filtered until the next time I need it.

You you have to turn your pump on to fill the holding tank and then turn it off again? I'm glad I have the automatic float switch. Works like a charm.

What is the recommended proper cleaning method for a Mori 6 spout filler?

I have the electric pump, and in between the pump and the filter I put a 10 inch cartridge filter with tri clamp fittings.

I want to clean so 1 spirit doesn't contaminate the next.

That's some shady advice there.  Nothing wrong with direct fire when used correctly, same as using other heat sources correctly.  Plus you get 2000 years of experience to draw from.  Of course one must ensure the local authorities feel the same way.

For future reference, in case there's anyone as dumb as me on here, it's really important to turn the fill / drain valve on the reservoir to the open position if you're trying to fill it.

I have been sitting here for 2 hours trying to get this to work. What is the dumbass emoji?

Thanks for the replies.

I disconnected the 43 foot reinforced flex PVC hose from the pump inlet and held it down by the floor so the liquid would flow from the bulk tank to the end of the hose. Before I did this the pump wasn't even pulling it halfway through the hose. Then I connected to the pump Inlet back again. Turned on the filler and lo and behold it pumped the liquid through the pump. But only 18 inches through the outlet hose to just before my inline 10 inch cartridge filter housing. And then the pump shut off, but the on switch on the filler is still on. Now I can turn it off and on and the pump does nothing, doesn't even start up.
