  1. Does anyone measure specific gravity of their mash, and if so is this monitored throughout the production process? Is there a target specific gravity to achieve, and if so what is this value dependent upon? Is based upon the capabilities of your pumps and do they come with listed capabilities? I apologize if this is an off base question.
  2. To add another question to the pot, are there any distilleries using a roller mill for corn (or even just purchasing flaked maize)? Or is it pretty well established that it is more desireable to mash corn as a flour? I understand that using hammer mill and a finer grain for corn allows better access to the starches for conversion, but is this a necessary procedure or would it be feasible to simply use a roller mill for all your grains (ie if you were making a corn/barley/rye mash) and achieve the desired starch conversions (enough sugars to achieve typical ~8-10% ABV in 3-5 days fermentation)?
  3. Blue Star, What vendors are you considering for your heat exchanging system (folded counter flow). Just curious, still in planning stages and considering different mash-cooling options and associated pricing.
