Welcome to Diary of a Distiller. I am in the process of moving the content over from the old site. The biggest problem with moving the old content over is the photos. So the text will be here, but photos will have to slowly follow. Until then you can read the old content in the Archives.

Diary of a Distiller: Chapter 25 - A comedy of errors

Like usual its been a busy week. The fire grate for the copper spirits still was re-worked from square to round. I feel they overcharged me. It cost as much to re-work it as it originally cost new.
We had a few more small things to fix in the brewery. Basically, like I've mentioned before, everything that could be broken, or ruined through neglect, was. Sometimes it's difficult to order parts, they may not have been made for 20 years since the equipment was new. We had to get in touch with France and England to find new valve bodies since the rubber was fried in all the ones for the brew kettle, lauter tun, and fermenting tanks. Hopefully we can get them in the next few days and fix the valves. Otherwise they need to be replaces, at a grand or two for six of them.
