The leaves have started to turn so the drive was really pretty. I went on Monday and the place was packed. There were 35 in my tour group and they were from all over the country as well as from overseas. The tour was quick but it was interesting. One part was in the fermenting room. There were many vats that were 3 stories high and about 18 ft across. Each one was full of a mash made up of rye, corn, barley, water and yeast. The mash was bubbling as carbon dioxide escaped. The tour guide opened a vat cover and let us take a big whiff. Legend has it that a 6 yr old boy stuck his head in the vat and proclaimed "it smells like grandma's breath." Priceless.
