Nevermind, I just read Brads post in the other thread

How is the final amount measured? Would one have to send it to a lab to satisfy the TTB?

That was what I was thinking. Great advice thank you!

Does anyone have any info on how to produce these? Thinking of adding one to our product line

Sorry to sound so dickish

That is some great info there and confirms some other suspicions I had about boiling.

Do you have anything to contribute here? Pretty cool that you made it, but I am sure the OP would love to hear how

I've googled but sometimes asking works better. Where can I get used 30 gal barrels? Even Third or more use is good for my needs...

These sound like the options I have seen, although I don't See that chiller on Tridents page. Thanks for the quick responses! I hadn't thought of using backset, that's an interesting option, but storage is going to make that untenable right now. We are going to be tight on cash until we can start packaging (waiting on label approval during federal shutdown) so at least I can stop worrying about DMS. Here is kind of a related question. The first batch we did we did not boil the mash. It got a pretty strong lacto character in the mash after a few days. Since then, the last few batches of mash I have boiled. When the first run was stripped, it seemed to not bring that lacto flavor over. Am I wasting time and energy boiling? It's easier to chill from 62 C than 100 C...

Hey everyone! This is my first post here! Looks like this is a wonderful community and I look forward to being a part of it! We are a startup distillery a few batches in. Pretty exciting and heady times for sure! Anyway, it is taking wayyyyyy too long for me to chill down my mash. We are fermenting and distilling on the grain, so a plate chiller isn't going to work here. I am worried about DMS formation (I come from the brewing world) although I can't seem to find any info on how DMS carries over into distillate, and the time (labor cost) that it takes to chill to pitching temps. We are mashing in a 420 gal steam jacketed reactor. To chill, we just switch from steam to cold water, but this isn't really working fast enough. Any ideas?
