    gin from gns

    Greeting If 50 gallons of gns is placed in a 120 gallon pot still with 50 gallons of water with the vapor passing thru a charged gin basket what could I expect the approximate proof of the distilate to be? Thank You

    vodka

    Hello I am hoping to open a new distillery in New Yor State in the near future and I am wondering if there is a source of GNS that satisfies the New York State 75% Rule. Thank You
  3. Any experience with constructing a closed pumping system?
  4. Thank you for your replies. I do have a fireproof cabjnet(18 g steel) large enough to hold 2 x 55 gallon drums) . I do have an explosion proof fan hooked up to a ethanol vapor sensor. 4 of the walls in the processing area are 12 in thick masonry. The 4th wall is covered with 2 lawyers of 5/8 in sheet Rock. His issue is not storage as much as needing some justification in the processing stage to allow me to open a 55 gallon drum of distilled spirits and dump it into my still for the final run. He thinks that that action , opening a container larger than 30 gallons, negates my f1 rating.
  5. Hello I am in the process of getting a space approved for a DSP. I will be using a small, 120 gallon, electrically fired pot still with distillation column and condenser. The fire marshall is taking issue with my processing procedure, because I want to redistill, gns for making gin, and some of my own stuff. Based on allowing me to start with an F1 rating, he is saying that I can have a maximum of 30 gallons in an open container and can store up to 120 gallons in closed containers (or 240gallons in approved storage cabinet)This does not include barreled and bottled product. If I want to put. lets say, 100 gallons in the distill after diluting to 40%, for distllation thru a gin basket for example, or redistill after a stripping run, I would have to devise a system where the 50 gallon closed storage containers are not opened to the atmosphere but "pumped" into the still. Any advise on this subject would be appreciated. Thank You
  6. Will you have, New York State grown, malted Barley available in 2015? If so please call Bernie at 518 742 0620.

    Hi! I am in discussions with the local fire department concerning a location for my distilling business in upstate New York. The fire marshall has told me before we continue on, he must know the volume of alcohol vapors escaping into the air from my still while distilling. Is there a way to determine that. Thanks Bernie
