I don't think there is any rule that you have to barrel at 60%. However there is a rule that you can not barrel over 62.5%. whisky produced at not exceeding 160° proof, and if stored in oak containers stored at not more than 125° proof in used

have you called Kothe? Seems like they would know what to do.

Currently some random printing company previously Dye. Back on topic from here on out.

The problem was neither, It was no one did a press check. Ink doesn't come in ever color under the rainbow it has to be mixed like you would paint for your house. Its easy to get it slightly off my missing on your ratio of colors.

Most likely it was the ink and not the software. The pantone colors are set in the programs regardless of if its pirated its just a number value. There should have been a press check before you went to print with them. Press checks are very common no matter what software people run because the ink can vary from batch to batch the software doesn't change.

Just under a year from deciding to do a distillery we had our federal and state licenses in hand. From the time we signed our lease on the space and could submit paperwork it took about 8 months to get open.

Man Lotusland49p Its almost like your a rep for 096 stills. You sure do love them. As far as Dye they have been great to deal with. Answered all questions and do have a very firm grasp on distilling principals with the ability to answer all questions. And you constant crying about if they get a larger order they do that first. Well if you ever sell anything and you have the choice between filling a 26 gallon milk tank order or a 450 gallon still what would you do first? If anyone wants to know about their facility feel free to PM me as i have been to visit it.

I'v seen both types of set ups. 1 running water from the main condenser back into the dephlegmator so your getting a warm water into it and 2 running fresh water (cold) into it and just running very little so that the water warms up in the dephlegmaor Anyone have any pros or cons for each?

Your building inspector wants you to tell him what the code says? Shouldn't he know what he is asking for.

I got just over 20' clear hight.

I ordered from Dye and I will let you know how my still turns out.

Yes very true, your request is much more common. What i would like is a formula that lets me take a density reading and determine that i have X proof alcohol. Then i would like to add an exact amount of water then take a new density reading showing a lower proof because of the water i added. Then i would love to be able to have something that says i have an unknown volume of X proof that i add a known volume of water to and also have a final proof. So by using the change in proof and the known quality of water added determine my total volume of spirit at the final proof. Does that make sense?

Ok so here is one theoretical blend. You have 100 gallons of 160 proof ethanol and you add 100 gallons of water. What is your final proof and what is your total gallons. Assuming everything is at 60 degrees.

Will the ttb tables actually account for the shrinkage of liquid when you combine alcohol and water? Iv never seen this listed on their tables.

First of all I assumed noting, and second you still haven't said anything as to how you know so much. So again i ask what is your experience with this still maker?

So singlmalt whats your stake in the game? Why are you concerned with keeping this at the forefont of the topics?

Well if they would be into answering any questions please point them my way. Always like to hear how things really are working out.

Does anyone have a dedicated room that they hold their totes in that is temp controlled? Seems like this would be a pretty simple way to keep them relatively stable.

We are at about .34 but your in the ball park. A lot depends on who your supplier is.

Heat and heat. Is why i chose oil over water.

Don't know i run oil. I would guess that it doesn't matter either way on the water and just keep it topped of and you will be fine. Why are you not running oil?

Hell I guess they will be fine then.

Dave just did a flat fee for us.

Yeah the guys who sell all the Indiana whiskey.

Utah? Good luck LOL!
