Solutions
- Modigent enhanced all mechanical infrastructure to increase daily production capacity and reduce batch time. System improvements included a redesign and upgrades to still-house process cooling chillers, mash house cold water storage for process cooling, ferment tank replacement and expansion, and replacement and enhancement of their CDA (compressed dry air) system.
- Doubled the size of the mash house, including a complete redesign of all HVAC equipment and process piping, in order to accommodate the increase in production.
- Increased capacity of cold water storage system, reducing cooling times from 12 hours to six hours per cycle.
- A process control system was designed and installed to semi-automate the facility to allow for efficiencies in the process while maintaining a dedication to the human-controlled craft of making the finest whiskeys.
- Designed and replaced all fermenters with a closed-top style, internally-mixed tank that accommodated an increase in production to meet goals. This included a CO2 control system at each ferment tank, a three-jacket chilled water cooling loop at each tank, and automated valves that allow for internal mixing and pump-out.
- Upgrades to liquid storage tanks and pipes to improve fluid flow and increase tank holding capacity by up to three times, allowing Garrison Brothers to double their daily whiskey production.
