  17. How's your filler search going? I'm just beginning mine and it seems you've already covered a lot of ground. I'm in Virginia often, maybe we could say hello one of these days and talk fillers? I stay in Arlington when I'm there ... you're just past Dullas, almost to Leesburg, right?
  18. I regularly locate and import used and antique stills for people. I have a couple used stills onhand here in Colorado too. The ADI's Brandy still came from me ... so Bill will give me a reference as well. Let me know more about your project and we can discuss things. Oh, and I've got a really nice german still that's about 40 years old (140 Liter copper pot with a nice helmet and a reflux condensor with a port-hole) coming from Europe in about 4 weeks as well.

    I regularly locate and import antique stills. My prices are higher than those you'll find in Europe, but they include the packing, forwarding and etc. The ADI's brandy still came from me ... so Bill can vouch for my services. If you're looking for an antique still let me know. I do have a few smaller stills on-hand here in Colorado too. Stephen
  20. There are lots of natural colorants that will turn your product some shade of green or greenish-yellow. All however will effect both flavor and aroma. Then, as the previous poster mentioned, natural colors will oxidize over time as well. One way to minimize oxidization is with Hyssop, which is a natural anti-oxidant ... but that will only get you so far. It's used in most Absinthes, Chartreuse and many other liquors/liqueurs. It will, however, have some effect on your flavor as well. Other colorants that work well are peppermint (which will give a slight minty flavor as well), and lemon balm (which will give a lemony, minty flavor). Both are members of the mint family, and most other members of the mint family will work as well, Basil for example (In fact, while I've never used Basil I've got numerous references in old texts that lead me to believe it would be an outstanding colorant). I would recommend combining them with Hyssop as a stabilizer. The previous poster is correct in mentioning petit or roman wormwood as well, as that will also give you a nice (evil) green color initially, but it will lighten over time even with using Hyssop as a stabilizer. Another method of color-stabilization that you should consider is dulcification (i.e. adding a little sugar). This increased the viscosity of the liquor and will both assist in color stabilization and in softening the mouth-feel of the product. Lastly, if you're using natural herbal colors you will also need to consider the issue of sediment and what some absinthe distillers call "sea monkeys", as you will get herbal matter floating in your spirit that you'll need to remove. Direct filtration is one solution, but you'll lose flavor along with the solids. "Decantation filtration" is another method (i.e. let it sit, and decant the clear stuff off the top), but it's vary labor intensive and etc. Anyway, my two cents ....
  21. I'd call Brad Brunson at Amorim Cork America. He's the biggest cork guy in the country and a really nice guy too. He can be reached at 414-719-2390, or bbrunson.acam@amorim.com You'll note that he's the U.S. guy for the company that the previous poster mentioned. S.
