Tool definition
A cypress fermentation tub is a large wooden vessel used to hold whiskey mash during fermentation in the historic plants documented by Peachee.
Operational context
Wooden tubs belong to an earlier material regime that coexisted with and was increasingly replaced by metal vessels. Vessel material affects maintenance and cleanability, but this source does not specify sanitation protocols, geometry, capacity, or fermentation performance.
Evidence and context
Peachee's photographic sequence and caption discussion at PDF screens 34–35 support the presence of wooden tubs and identify easier cleaning as one factor in the shift toward metal.
Review gate
Lifecycle Status: Active. The historical equipment form is supported; technical operating claims require corroboration.

Any operating sequence above is a researcher-organized model, not a procedure established by this photographic book. Photographs document appearance; captions supply attributed functions. Full-source completion remains open for soft embedded fine print. Image67 is an Ohio state price label, not proof of a federal bonded stamp; caption68 does not establish a universal post-Repeal bottled-in-bond requirement. A plumb line indicates vertical alignment rather than complete structural safety. Material choice or warehouse design intent alone does not demonstrate fire performance or sensory outcomes. Preserve the source-specific limits before Academy reuse.
