  1. Household paraffin wax is food-grade rated, so flavor taint will not happen. The cooper's traditional sealing compound is beeswax, however. First, heat the croze (the groove in the body of the barrel where the head meets) all the way around with a heat gun, then apply molten wax at the intersection of heading and the croze.

  5. Just use a small basket press. Very durable! The one found at this link is listed in the VEVOR catalogue: https://m.vevor.com/fruit-wine-press-c_11815/vevor-fruit-wine-press-1-6-gallon-6l-solid-wood-basket-with-6-blocks-manual-juice-maker-cider-apple-grape-tincture-vegetables-honey-olive-oil-making-press-with-pole-handle-bar-for-kitchen-and-home-p_010358062393?adp=gmc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=8513381920&utm_term=&gbraid=0AAAAACq8bLUk-t2JMefG_9EdlzdXxqze0&gclid=CjwKCAjwyY6pBhA9EiwAMzmfwT5TbJ2aW5zPP4uLZb_lb028HXhaiWeNRwhNeS0Vgx7qh1UchaVvHxoCQ70QAvD_BwE
  6. The Primera AP550 is the one to use: https://www.primera.com/ap550-flat-surface-label-applicator-config.html Sometimes Primera even offers reconditioned units for those who need to economize, but you just need to get on a call list when they become available. Good luck!

  10. Greenfield Global has EU-standard, 96% ABV neutral spirits from potato ~ contact Brian Coutu at brian.coutu@greenfield.com and tell him that I made the referral! Good luck, Rusty Figgins
  11. Far less expensive to use a 3” x 2” TC reducer.
  12. One is clamped from the top of the tank, and one uses a tr-clamp fitting through the side of the tank: https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwi22aPyi8j-AhUJB60GHezeAssYABAOGgJwdg&sig=AOD64_04va9sQhbqVwEQmcNmwBA6m2BN0g&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwjh95vyi8j-AhXjFjQIHVQyBokQ9aACKAB6BAgGEB4&adurl= https://shop.scottlab.com/guth-ra-300-tank-agitator-slash-mixer-guth300
  13. Hi Shadi ~ The best in the business that I have continually worked with is Pro Refrigeration in Auburn, Washington. Have a look at their site, ProChiller.com. They have a history of offering excellent support to the distilled spirits industry. Please feel free to call and talk shop! Good luck, Rusty Figgins
  14. Hi RyLintz ~ ‘Digital density meter’ is what you should be searching for. A DMA35 from Anton-Paar can often be found used but in working condition on eBay. That unit has the advantage over their Snap series because they double as a “saccharometer” as they also give sugar readings, in addition to ABV and degrees of proof readings.

  16. Have you not heard of The Barrel Mill?
  17. https://www.hogacompany.com https://www.copper-alembic.com There are even small copper stills available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CDV2GZU/ref=sw_img_1?smid=A2TLHPQOQVLTUN&psc=1
  18. Why not use the distillation/restoration method on a benchtop still for a fraction of the price? It is a TTB-recognized method for determining ABV in spirits containing sugar. Please DM for a complete explanation.
  19. . Rocky Mountain Barrel Company always has a good stock of Oloroso casks. My contacts there are shown below: Thomas Ledder West Coast Rep Phone: 303.524.4944 Steve Durso East Coast Rep Phone: 303.589.6804
  20. I think that the original poster was wanting to increase ABV from sourced apple juice and he wondered if chaptalisation is a valid method of increasing ABV of the distillate. I suggested adding concentrate, and you are suggesting concentrate as the base substrate entirely. Both methods are clearly not chaptalisation because concentrate is just de-watered juice that the producer is only re-constituting. It has emerged from the discussion that a distillery is not technically permitted to add sugar, but the use of concentrate alone or as an addition to fresh juice would not be considered chaptalization, a process named after Jean-Antoine Chaptal, who first suggested adding sugar to fruit juice.
  21. Have you guys discovered the West Virginia Great Barrel Company?
  22. Sugar additions, called chaptalisation, are permitted up to a point for any wine, that the producer cannot exceed. This extends to wine that is intended for distillation. Far better to chaptalise using apple juice concentrate, would you not agree?
  23. Hey DDD ~ try the Great West Virginia Barrel Co and tell them that I sent you! Great barrel and service! Happy Easter, Rusty
