Thanks for the feedback! Please update once you've spun it up.

http://sellerscleansteam.com/ These guys were on the ADI expo floor. Somewhat interesting concept - completely nonferrous boiler so it can be fed directly from untreated potable water. Steam can be used for direct injection or jacketed gear with no need for condensate return. Obviously, overall water consumption would be higher than a conventional condensate return boiler. By my calculations, about 1.4 gal/min down the drain for 20 BHP at full operation. Certainly saves on installation costs but interested in thoughts from others...

I'm not aware of a single Colorado distillery that supports this. http://www.beverageworld.com/articles/full/18116/discus-seeks-equal-treatment-in-colorado In fact many very publicly support the opposition: http://keepcolocal.com/the-coalition

Interesting. How do you blowdown w/o a tank or separator? Doesn't your city limit waste temperature?
-
Probably pointing out the painfully obvious, but I'd ask around for used ones.
-
I feel your pain eganter. Damn blowdown and feed/condensate tanks cost nearly as much as the boiler itself! Have a look at blowdown separators vs tanks. I've found they can be a bit cheaper (and take up less space). Downside is you've got to feed it water to cool the drainage.

Resurrecting thread now that we're in an EMV world. Had lunch yesterday at a BBQ joint that used Square. They had the chip reader but the clerk said it was a nightmare. He had to pull and reinsert my card about 6 times before it took. What's everyone's experience with their POS systems and chipped cards?

When I registered my confirmation had a schedule showing distillery tours on mon and thurs from 10-5. Haven't seen anything since.
-
I am indeed. I'll be in touch soon as well. Should be breaking ground on my place around May.

Same talk as last year Aaron?
-
Don't think there's any right answer as it depends on what the distiller wants out of the mash. Bacterial activity typically isn't significant until yeast finish their work. So those looking for bacterial acids normally need to go another day or two after the cap falls. Yeast choice can also significantly change fermentation duration.
-
Struggle to find their FB page too.

I like the Extech PH220-C as it's temp compensated up to 212F. The Hannas I've seen only go to 120F so you have to cool mash samples before reading. Extech is a bit over $100 though.

Yeah, the millennials are, absolutely.

Or heating, depending on one's geography and time of year.

Any of their ryes are outstanding too.

Had a chance to chat with Kevin at Anchor Distilling, tucked into a back corner of the Anchor Brewery warehouse in SF yesterday. Great guy. They're producing some amazing spirits in a crazy-small space. LOVE those counter-flow condensers.
-
Shame really. When I talked to them at ADI last year, I suggested they needed to come up with a scaled down version for the craft spirits market and they said they were working on it.

All grains - Rye, Oats, Wheat, and Corn - Mash over 190 F

Except tannins have absurdly high boiling points and won't come over the lyne. -
Ooof. They were on the tour last ADI conference. Showing off bottles and poured samples w/o any licenses. Year later, lesson still not learned.
-
Thanks. That's precisely my plan.
-
Does he mind the liquid vs lautered spent grains like typically seen from the brewers? I'd think stillage would have advantages - sterile from the boil, longer shelf life with the low pH, etc. Does he bring his own tank or do you swap IBC totes, etc?
-
How the hell does one boil at 256 deg?
-
Wait, Groupon still exists?
