Re: Spin Dry Grains with 3200RPM Spin Dryer

It's really interesting, how information is mis-understood.. low abv in grain mash is one then, high temp alcohol vapour are a total different animal.. And why would one want to rinse the grains before milling them.. exposing the grains to mildew and who what else, not discounting the milling would...

Re: Spin Dry Grains with 3200RPM Spin Dryer

I wonder how well that would work on apples Me too. I haven't invested (time or money) into any drying device yet, other than an apple press.

Re: Spin Dry Grains with 3200RPM Spin Dryer

It made short work of the grains from an 18 gallon AG ferment. What was the grain bill? Wondering how it would do with high corn or high rye recipes.

Re: Spin Dry Grains with 3200RPM Spin Dryer

This looks great but be careful too! “Not much” bad can happen when spinng 20lbs of grain @ about 53 spins per second. Cheers!

Re: Making Vodka / Neutral

I've been making a lot of super clean vodka, which is mostly what I make. The way I run mine is to strip at azeotrope, combine and cut to around 30% with RO/DI water for spirit runs, make cuts and combine all saved hearts and run again (cut to 30% or so again with RO/DI water).

Re: Labs for analyzing product for lead and other nasties?

http://Www.liquidproofspirits.com. I have not used them, but I received a mailer from them that they offer spirit testing. This one looks like it could really come in handy. They will do everything from a full analysis down to an individual analysis. You could really fine tune your stuff affordably!
