Dave,

 

Thanks for sharing.  I have been a member of these forums for about 9 years (2013).  I have always enjoyed your posts and historical perspective.  Today, we think of the current major brands which all almost all owned by corporate conglomerates.  However, history, especially from inside the industry, is always enjoyable.  Please continue to share your memories and perspective.  I and I know others enjoy your vision into the past at Kinsey.

 

I hope all is well and best wishes.

 

Mike

Ood Pictures from the early 2000's of the DSP PA -12 Distiller before it was Knocked Down Found these and wanted to post Them. Also Behind the Od Kinsey Bottle House the tracks to roll barrels to the Two Oldest Warehouse all this stuff is Long gone. We used to Ring in next to these Mash tanks Picture 4 and then go down a tunnel under the Distiller to our Lockers. For some reasons a couple of Pictures did not work and I could not get rid of Them These Pictures are from the Very Early 2000's before they were torn down

Last Picture is of a Old Stensel from DSP-PA 10 which was the   Old Pot Still in the Old Barn behind the DSP -Pa 12
