I am going to start working at a small distillery part time. I toured it today really cool setup with really nice products. The one thing I noticed is that they dough in by hand with a drywall mixer. I am going tommorrow to help them make a batch I will get dimnsions of the mash tun and such from first look it seems to be around 4 bbl capacity. I am going to help them design a mash rake. I looked at the local 7bbl brew pubs rake today and have a basic paddle configuration but have not had any luck finding any info on the HP rating and rpm needed. Would a 1hp motor reduced down to about 20 rpms have enough torque to dough in the mash?
