The hot oil system is used in the drying process and serves to blow hot air through the grain when it drys.

|
incubation chambers are stored in the warehouse (Richard Craft)
|
|
|

|
|
Usually, we will place 2,000 lbs. in each drying chamber, although they are capable of holding 8,000 lbs.

Our first attempt at blending, was using the Littleford blender. We have since moved to a 6,000 lb. capacity metal jacketed processor.
