  1. Hey everyone,

    I'm trying to get my distillery up and running and am ready to order hydrometers. I know I need to have them certified, calibrated, and in the ranges specified by the TTB for both Specific Gravity and Proof. I thought I had all my info down until the retailer called me wanting me to specify the calibration point for each hydrometer—meaning a single proof or a single specific gravity to which the calibration will be 100% accurate.

    Any ideas? I only purchased single point calibration—do I need to go higher? Or did I have the right idea and just need to pick the right proof/SG.

    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

  2. Hello,

    I am in the final stages before ordering equipment based around a 50 gallon micro distiller.

    I have been working to generate an equipment list and I was wondering if anyone had any guidance about if this looks similar to set ups you have seen or been a part of.

    Our list is as follows:

    -50 Gallon Hillbilly Still

    -Fermentation tanks

    -Stainless steel mash kettle with cooling jacket, steam injection, agitator, 3" bottom outlet and recycled cooling water system

    -Finished stainless steel tanks with 2" bottom outlets

    -55 Gallon Charcoal filter with pumps

    -2" transfer pump with hose and quick connect fittings

    -Auto bottle filler

    -Commercial sized burr grist for grinding grains

    -Commercial sized boiler for steam generation

    -Charcoal water filter

    -Warehouse racking

    -Labeler

    Any help or guidance you could give me would be much appreciated!
