Oh, I have loads!

What do you make?

How many columns do you have in the process?

What specs do you use to judge your spirit on?

What kind of capacity can you put through them and how much do they cost?

Well, we're taking measurements at every stage of the process. I can give cell counts, pH levels, the works for the wash all the way through. We're doing some great data collection, and I wish more distillers would do the same.

As for making the cuts (for those who don't know, when you run a liquid through a still you make a series of "cuts". the first liquid to come off is a nasty blend of chemicals known as the "Foreshot". After that comes the "heads" which taste awful, but can be used to fortify later washes. Then you get the "hearts" which are the best parts of the distillation process. Liquid silver. Finally, you get the "tails" which can always be collected and run through the still to get some more "hearts".) although we doing some testing, at the end of the day your taste buds will give better data than any piece of lab equipment. Yes, I'll test it, but my taste buds give the best results.

I understand the need for the privacy, its no problem man.

But could you tell me then is it a batch process you do and not a continuous one?

Do you have brands or you supplying other labels?
