Mash Cooker - 14,000 gallon capacity. Water and grain are heated to just the right temperature to release the starches that will later be converted to alcohol.
Wild Turkey does not use any grain that is a genetically-modified organism (GMO). Their process is very traditional and they pay a premium for the natural grain. They are also worried about any future repercussions of using GMO's. The whiskey distilled today will not become a bottled product for another 4 to 15 years. If a GMO grain is discovered to have an issue 5 years from now, or if the government decides any GMO products must be labeled as such, then the distillery would be in quite a bind with all that aging product now affected. The premium they pay for non-GMO grain is considered insurance against any possible issues later.
Wild Turkey uses a three day fermentation. This batch is nearing the end of the fermentation cycle. The grain cap is thick and chunky. As the fermentation completes this cap will break up and sink.
A fermenter being filled will distillers beer. Notice the small hose in the background adding backset.
Barton has two long rows of fermenting tanks with a narrow building running down the middle. Each tank protrudes partially into the building but is mostly outside.
