That's cheating!

Not at my age!!

 

[hiluxman]

Only 5.5m3. But rather than get a couple of mates to “help” paid the £300 happily!!

Line pump here is £400 to £450.

We did 5m3 3 weeks ago between 3 of us and done in 40mins with barrows. Aprox a 25m run. I was up for pump but my labourer said don't be stupid

All in the name of whisky. When we finish this batch that'll be 100 of these we've made in the last 20years.

What are you doing with them? I’m none the wiser.

The people who make whisky have to store it in oak casks for a minimum of 3 years before it can be called scotch whisky, there's 10's of millions of oak casks going around which need repairs and rework and one of the things they do is take the steel hoop off and remove the rivets holding it together and tighten it in slightly and fit new rivets. This is fitted back on the cask and driven on tighter then before and hopefully good enough for another term. The machines we have here are used to extract and refit the rivets.
