  1. at the end of the day, thermometer, hydrometer to start, and TTB's dehydration method as shown in their video series to weigh the remaining solids, then do the math to reach 100ml and to reach actual proof. Unless there is a TTB waiver or approval of alternative method? EZ link to TTB's how-to vids: https://www.ttb.gov/distilled-spirits/proofing-tutorial with part 4 on the right being operative section. Anyone have a waiver of that dehydration method?
  2. We are working on a project for a customer, which will require approximately 10,000 700ml bottles with screw top closure at 80 proof. We can provide the spirit, bottles, labels, closures, pending TIB's and other details in place, etc. NDA required. If this fits within your capacity. Full details are TBD (exact bottle, final labels, closure discussion.). In short, we'd send you 4x totes of one of our spirits and then likely arrange for drop ship from your site to customer to avoid shipping twice. Strongly prefer west coast (WA, OR, CA, maybe ID, NV).
  3. Welcome ideas on what to charge a customer for obtaining COLA for their product, for which we are the private label mfg.

  5. To quickly simulate age or add flavor your whiskey or other spirits: Available at our distillery in Everett, WA is one Hydrodynamics 304 Stainless Steel 8x2 Shockwave Power Xtractor spirits cavitation unit. We purchased this for a project and then focused elsewhere, so this is just as we received it out of the box, and we have never used it. The Shockwave is used in conjunction with wood chips or flavorings to add flavor or achieve quick aging to simulate prolonged aging of spirits, this is a super product, but just not now part of our direction. You can see the demo here: (For beer use in a brewery, improves hops utilization and reduces hops costs) Includes following items (and specs) as from the mfg: • One 304 Stainless 8”x2” Xtractor · Max hydrodynamic throughput: 7.5 GPM · Max pressure: 150 psig · Max temp: 250°F • One 7.5 HP, motor rated at 230 VAC 3-phase, 3600 RPM, 60 Hz • 7.5 HP VFD • Touchscreen control system with inlet/outlet thermocouples • Inlet/outlet pressure gauges • Piping connections with 1.5” tri-clamp fittings • Type 21 seal • Viton elastomers • Small integrated skid with wheels, for ease moving it around • Operations manual, in English, is included. Total weight: 250 lbs, not including packaging. Best of picked up in person, otherwise shipping to your location at cost. International inquiries also welcome. Price: $27,600 compare to $34,600 from the manufacturer. See also on BrewBids dot com.
  6. Adam - we've been asking for a response re: 2021 Asia Int'l Spirits Competition without response by phone or email. Please advise. There are no results posted after 2020.
  7. even Ballast Point, before sale of distillery, etc., etc., only had chain link fence (8 ft high?) separating "distillery" from the brewery, not all the way to the ceiling. It seemed to be enough for the feds and Calif state.
  8. Spring cleaning here, looks like we purchased two of these and need one. Available for $425.00, and compare to $486.00 plus tax online with regular commercial vendors known to the forum. Completely unused and new-in-box with manual for installation, operation and maintenance. Manual includes German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Swedish, in case you're outside the USA or enjoy foreign languages as we do. Will ship FedEx once payment received. See photos (mfg screenshot, product shot) for additional specs from mfg and our own on-site photos of the unit for sale. You can read about the Flojet elsewhere in the forums here. If you don't have one or need another, here's a good option.
  9. Available for sale is our Hydrodynamic "Xtractmor" unit for flavor infusion or quick aging. We purchased this in 2019 when we were first lining up our equipment, and then our process and activity has taken us in other directions. Net result, using this unit, and testing the chemical make up of your new-make whiskies using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) shows reduction of unwanted flavors and increase in other flavors in whiskies, though it can be used also in breweries, wineries for other flavor development (hops, e.g., with beer). Of note, significant reduction of furfural and dimethyl trisulfide. The mfg site can be seen at hydrodynamics dot com/cavitation-technology/, and a video of the unit in action with commentary by the mfg here (the vid is on YouTube, but dramatically seems to fill the screen here). You can also read about the patented technology at USPTO dot com, but some are referenced at the mfg site under "news" section. (You can scroll down below the video for more info and pricing) A PDF showing the GCMS analysis of before/after use of the unit on a new-make whisky is available by asking via email. We love the technology but it's not our current direction, and would like this unit to go to a new home where it can be used. See also photos. Manufacturer price new was over $30,000, asking $23,000.00. Comes with manuals of course. Pick up is ideal (north of Seattle), but we can box/crate and ship on request.
  10. *Sold* Anton Paar Snap 51, $3,500. This handy item is like-new in box, and unused except for a handful of test proofings, we find we are not using this at all since we are using different equipment instead. Includes manual, extra tubing, padded carry case, item as shown. Can ship to you FedEx from Seattle area. Compare to $4,170 to $4,210 elsewhere.
  11. Anyone with experience using DEX or EDI data exchange for on-site deliveries to grocery, big box, liquor stores? Recommended "DEX" gear vendors? Thanks in advance
  12. thanks, Jedd, we were thinking of just that as a cover to prevent the bung from escaping on its own, but have kept our barrels vertical at the moment. Thanks again.
  13. Adam, did you ever try this out?
  14. older discussion, but noble metals would have to be readily available if used, some interesting and non-available options: https://www.thoughtco.com/introduction-to-noble-metals-608444 anyone with experience using any of these? intriguing idea.
  15. tks, after reading your comments i just looked at ultrasound gear and it's not cheap and seems mostly lab size vs mfg scale. "different" is not always "better," that's good to remember. IIRC there was anoter group in Colorado (?) who featured ultrasound as part of their spirits production, but I haven't tasted any of their products.
  16. Hi Silk City, curious about what ultrasound equipment you used in these trials, and what you refer to as a triangle test? Seems odd that changes were not permanent structural or (molecular?) changes, but taste is always the final consumer measure. Tks in advance.
  17. Well, now we have these top bung barrels, and would like instead to store them on their sides, horizontal on a barrel rack. Any experience with that? Will top bung stay closed? Hate to see prized product coming out where it shouldn't. Plus, thinking to add bung hole in a stave after we've done that. Any recommendations on bung hole cutters? The horizontal storage works better for us but need to make some adjustment in these top bung barrels. Thanks in advance
  18. Thanks in advance on getting a handle on Indiana's rules for shipping finished bottled products to wholesaler or distributor in Indiana. regards to all,
  19. advertising publicly varies by Reg D 506 b, 506 c, Reg S, Reg CF. Some of the earlier, older information is not now correct and is overly cautious (though accurate at the time, BITD). It is not a requirement that all be accredited investors. YMMV.
  20. we recently received an unsolicited inquiry from what seemed to be a legit company in South Africa near Johannesburg. We have determined in our due diligence and know-your-customer process that this company is in a deregistration status and not able to conduct transactions in accord with South African law (for not filing annual returns for 3 years). We are not sure this was a variation of the more common nigerian prince concept 🙂 (or not) since there was an actual company. Details on request if you have had a similar experience. Don't be afraid to contact local foreign authorities, in English.
  21. We're happy with our glass, but find that our wood t-tops have about a 10% to 12% fail rate (poor wood, unfinished wood, chips, rough wood on the top so tamper strips won't adhere) on the appearance side - naturally they "close" the bottle and fit, but the fail rate is excessive, and we'd like to not use the same vendor again. Samples were nice, but the big box/bag-in-box shows they were mfg'd too quickly or with little QC. Welcome all ideas, with thanks. (Also any art projects ideas we can use for our collection of unusable t-tops? 🙂 )
  22. Did you pick a printer, Hudson Bay (or Sudzie)? We're looking for some options for specialty labels for limited releases.
