    From all of us, Thank You! Let's have everyone get sick while we figure out how to denature properly and source the ingredients. NOT!

    I guess I was just referring to all the bottles that I’ve seen labeled as ethyl alcohol, but no other alcohols.

    Misleading or are these ingredients actually not there?

    https://atferrell.com/equipment/mix-mill/sentry-145-hammermill The specs are about right on. For me about 8k# per hour for corn with a 10hp motor & 1/8” screen.

    Why not just put the [4] barrels on a pallet?

    You have an air leak somewhere in the filter. Consider tightening all the line connections with a hose clamp.

    Thought these were interesting:

    We make them ourselves, and yes, charge $10 per box to our customers selling 2-3 bottles at a time.

    To be fair though, the other variable at least in terms of the pot still, is the distiller operating the pot. Maybe the distiller was operating the pot very effectively and the blind panel likes heads. Just playing devil’s advocate here

    Found this: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1271/bbb.110639 "In none of the distillates, obtained by distillation methods under atmospheric pressure (n = 3) and under reduced pressure (n = 3), was any of the 13 mycotoxins detected. The mycotoxins tested did not transfer from the fermented mash to the distillates in the distillation process. On the other hand, some of the mycotoxins remained in the distillation residues after the distillation process."

    Yes, that was what the farmer was wondering.

    Thanks for the info, yes, it sounds like it should be avoided for feed. But any ideas if it affects a distilled spirit?

    A farmer asked me if ergot (on rye) was a problem for distilling purposes. I told him I didn't know but would try to find out. Any thoughts?

    A long stick and/or power washer.

    The antifoam certainly does its job, but the only times I've seen these strands is when I used antifoam. I've always suspected antifoam somehow was the cause, but never really pinned it down. It was especially evident when using directly immersed heating elements where the elements had all this junk hanging from them after the run.
  17. Bier Distillery
    Out of curiosity, did you use any silicone antifoam?

    Any thoughts on this? Federal Register/Vol. 83, No. 227/Monday, November 26, 2018/Proposed Rules https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-11-26/pdf/2018-24446.pdf In particular, requiring barrels to be approximately 50 gallons?
  19. Bier Distillery
    Would you want only the rhizomes or some leaves as well? Either way, let me know what you think that's worth including shipping. Please email me at Joel@BierDistillery.com.

    Including foreshots and heads?

    I’ve gotten clogs on a 2” drain with 2” butterfly valve before so now I step up to use a 3” butterfly with a 2” drain.
  23. Bier Distillery
    It may not be the water or the barrel. It’s really a function of the spirit and the bottling proof. The TCW filter works.
  24. Bier Distillery
    I’ve heard it said underfilling is better than overfilling.
  25. Bier Distillery
    Have you tried double distilling and/or running slower? I have a feeling you're just smearing heads, hearts, and tails.
