Taking care of Barrels in Dry Climates Halloween isn't the only spooky season around the corner. Winter means drier air, which is seriously scary if you're aging in barrels. You know the struggle with inconsistent humidity: shrinking staves, loose hoops, constant topping, and barrels that don't last as long as they should. Traditional misting systems often make things worse with mold growth and maintenance headaches. Join us for a live webcast: Taking Care of Barrels in Dry Climates In this 45-minute session, you'll discover:  How dry fog technology protects barrels without creating wet surfaces or mold Real solutions for excessive evaporation and cracking (using only a few gallons of water per day) Live demonstration of ultrasonic nebulization that maintains perfect humidity levels ROI breakdown showing how the system pays for itself through extended barrel life Advanced applications including sanitization and temperature control Plus, you'll get your specifi

In the wine industry, operational reliability, energy efficiency, and sustainability aren't just buzzwords—they’re necessities. Whether it’s keeping fermentation tanks at precise temperatures, fueling equipment in remote vineyards, or ensuring production doesn’t stop during blackouts, propane has quietly become a critical tool for modern wineries. And no one understands this better than Blue Star Gas. Why Propane Makes Sense for Wineries Wineries have unique energy needs. Many are located off the beaten path, where access to natural gas is limited or unreliable. Others face seasonal demands, requiring scalable energy solutions that can adapt as production ramps up. Propane checks all the boxes: Reliable Energy – Propane systems offer consistent power without dependence on aging electrical infrastructure. Lower Operating Costs – Propane appliances are energy-efficient, reducing fuel usage and utility bills over time. Environmental Benefits &ndash

Resource Guide: Technical Application Briefs To achieve the best process economics an efficient winery must operate on a Total Cost of Filtration basis. This recognizes that superior filter performance will yield better economics over time. Filter cost must consider total gallons throughput per change-out.  A Total Cost of Filtration approach also realizes that factors influenced by filter performance are often more costly than the filters themselves. The following resources below will help you to optimize your process: FC 01 Cartridge Cleaning Sanitization & Storage Wine   FC 02 Calculating Pressure Drop Specifications Wine   FC 03 Integrity Testing Of Membrane Filters Wine   FC 04 Reverse Bubble Point Instructions Wine   FC 05 Final Retention Understanding Nominal And Absolute Ratings Wine   FC 06 Maintaining And Measuring Wine Filterability   FC 07 Water Quality At Final Filtration Wine   FC 08 Total Costs Of Filtration Wine   FC

Wine industry professionals agree we offer the technical knowledge and practical experience to advise on best practices for safety, cleanliness, and eff

Aluminum cans have become a container of choice among beverage producers, especially canned wine, craft beer, and ready-to-drink cocktails.  Aluminum cans have a long, unique life cycle that’s relatively sustainable, but there’s a lot to think about when creating can labels to make sure this remains true.  ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT It’s also good for the supply chain.  In 2020, U.S. aluminum can recycling was at 45%—a rate higher than plastic bottles (20%) or glass (39%). The Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) wants to see this number grow to 70% by 2030 and all the way to 90% by 2050.  An increase in can recycling can have a big impact on environmental sustainability. The carbon footprint for producing an aluminum can made from recycled aluminum is dramatically lower than that of a can sourced purely from mined bauxite. And aluminum cans are infinitely recyclable: they can be recycled into new cans over

Reducing and managing winery wastewater goes beyond complying with regulations or being kind to the environment. It is a business initiative which is linked to efficiency and profit. The more water a winery consumes, and the more wastewater produced, the more it costs to treat the water, both in equipment needed and time. Understanding how a winery uses water and generates wastewater, both during vintage and non-vintage times, is the first step. From there, changes can be implemented to reduce how much wastewater is generated, and to improve the quality of that wastewater. BENEFITS OF MANAGING WINERY WASTEWATER A winery can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce costs by creating and maintaining an efficient operational flow, which includes reducing and managing water usage. Streamlining cleaning processes reduces time and therefore labor and chemical costs. Using less water also means a reduction in water supply costs and wastewater disposal fees. Properly treated wast
