Mike Blaum started the topic Harness Systems in the forum Safety 5 years, 1 month ago
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with different types of OSHA-approved harness systems for ‘distillers in high places’? Plenty of options at ULine, but would love to hear feedback from anyone that’s used them.
Thanks!

Anyone have some good feedback/leads on modular packaging lines? We’re not quite ready to go full automated system, but would like to put a few automated pieces (corker, heat tunnel, conveyers, etc.) and build from there. I’ve talked to E-PAK, but would like to see a few more options before committing.

Options are good! I ended up with Blundstones for now, and I love them for their ease and comfort, but I will transition them into more “work casual distillery events” instead of work boots. Looking into Ariat and Timberland Pro series now!

Communion cups weirdly work! They look good for plastic tasting cups.

Agree that no single issue more important for all craft distilleries than preserving the FET reduction. Come to DC and help the fight!

Kinda the same problem our original still is an antique, so we had the new still built as close as possible.

I’ve used buckwheat before, but it was in a larger mash of malted barley. As long as you have a beta glucanase as a part of your enzyme regiment, you should be fine.

Used to work with Capitol Eagle out there. Not much success to speak of with them.
Good luck.

Did you go with the same still manufacturer? Our 240 gallon is over 100 years old and an unknown manufacturer so we did the best we could in keeping with the shape and design but there was definitely a noticeable difference. I always try to take the attitude of as long as I make it better than I did before the drinker won’t mind.

I’m bringing back the footwear thread. This is really the content that gets me excited. I love Ariat boots -the company was founded by women equestrians, and they have a great line of super comfortable work boots. I have tried a ton of different brands over the past 10 years, and these have been the most comfortable out-of-the-box.

Hi, this is pretty random, but does anyone know where we can source disposable tasting cups that are actually nice and becoming of a premium craft spirit? Everything we find at stores and online looks and feels terrible. Thanks, Tom.
