Hey Doc, how often do you do tours? I assume if we just turn up when it suits us it probably won't suit you. You are in Kentucky, New England aren't you?

Cheers,

HI Richard I take anyone who wants to have a look on the tour. Lyn and i are very proud of our little distillery and love to show it off... Today we had a forum member fromm MD come through his name is Wazza I do not know if he is a member here..but he and his family had a good time doing the tour, tasting and lunch. We are in Kentucky New England and you and any other members are always welcome...although in July we are taking a month off so i can spend some time with my boys...they have grown up and flown the roost. drop me a line or phone me any time to arrange a tour and tasting if outside our normal hours. Fellow distillers are always welcome here. Take care.

Geez these rigs are proving popular, so far everyone whos been here and seen it has said " stuff it, get me one of those" :laughing-rolling:

So if anyone is contemplating one of these rigs, now is a good time to put your name down as I'll only be ordering them in as required.... I'll be ordering a few by the end of the week, so now's a good time to jump in. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I feel so inadequate, mines only 4 inches :oops: :oops: :oops:

:laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:


Beautiful stuff as usual Mac :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I notice the downcomers are all the same size with each size module.
Great thinking... no need for a different downcomer size for each module, just more of the same. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:
