Mary B:
Well I am set for winter! 4,500 pounds of corn now in storage and my corn stove can run off 12 volts so I am okay during a power outage too! Bought an auger this year to make it easier on my spine to get it into the storage bin. Auger came as a bare tube so it was up to me to make a frame for it,

Couple 2x4's and 2x6 pieces, 4 cheap ratchet straps and I was good to go!



Shed I store corn in has a piece of 3" PVC pipe attached to the roof via a toilet flange. I made a funnel from a cut off 5 gallon buck and another toilet flange. Presto I have a tube to pour corn in! Inside the shed it hits a chute that directs it towards the center of the bin which is a 10x10 Arrow shed with 4' inner 2x4 walls to form the bin. About half full, if I put in 2 more truck loads it would be almost full and would easily last 1 1/2 years or more. Or leave me with the fixings for some moonshine!

SparWeb:
I'll be careful what I order, next time I'm in the Pub!

Bruce S:
just let me know when you go looking for recipe  ;)

Frank S:
  Be sure to include a few apples and some potatoes in the sour mash
 I'll bet that Bruce S knows that recipe as well.

Mary B:
I need to build  a new still. I had an all glass one years ago including a water jacketed cooling coil. Small batches, 3 gallons of mash.
