Many years later...I'm definitely stealing this concept. Looks like the same hose is being used for the spirits so no issues with that right?

Hi there, I never got a ping that anyone replied to this. Before lock down I was looking into upgrading our still and so I was interested in an iStill. Then, as we all know, the pandemic hit and we had bigger things to worry about, Luckily we have managed and may be in position to upgrade again and so any info on these stills would be great.
-
I was curious if anyone in this community has an iStill 1000 Liter Hybrid and what the production has been like? What are the Pros & Cons? For example, 250 gallon wash at 10% ABV. How many liters/hour is produced? What is the proof? and What is the overall efficiency? Thanks in advance,

Recently I have been asked to develop a few recipe's for another business. I would be developing this recipe starting from raw ingredients, mash, ferment, distilling, proof and then flavor. The flavoring process is very difficult, for example, creating a cherry pie flavored vodka for them. My question is what a fair price would be in terms or creating and then selling this recipe? Once sold to them I can't make the same spirit so I want to make sure I get the value. Thanks in advance

we have a neutral spirit like vodka and one canned cocktail would simply be cranberry juice and alcohol. We also have a spiced rum and would like to can a rum and "coke" there is a local soda company that would supply the cola This is what we would like as a start

Trying to set up a micro scale canning operation for canning ready to drink cocktails. Is anyone doing this on a single can or 4 can system by hand? What would be the absolute minimum equipment needed to do this and how is it set up? This is not something I have any experience with and will be starting from square 1.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with the iStill 500 and/or 2000 automated stills? If so, please provide a review, pros and cons. Especially with respect to efficiency, various spirits made, ease of learning to use the automation etc... Thanks

I recently came across TTB Tamer for distilleries. It is priced at $33/mo. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this system and could give a review. Thanks. http://www.ttbtamer.com/#pricing

We have a current DSP with our bonded areas marked off along with our tasting room and retail. We are located inside a mill complex and have one of the units. Recently another unit became available 10 feet down the hall from us and we are planning to expand into it. Our plan is to keep our current location and just use it for production and alcohol storage operations while moving our tasting room and retail into the new unit. Both units are located at the same address but have a different unit #. What/how do I process this change with the TTB and what is the expected turnaround time? Cheers

Recommendations for companies that will do bottle labels with no minimum orders. Asking because they all seem to be good and I wanted to hear what companies others have used and who they like. Thanks.

I've definitely been getting a lot of info from everyone and it is much appreciated. I guess for now I will need to modify some of the techniques and equipment I am currently using until I can make an upgrade, the upgrade being some way to distilling on grain. Being able to back up the final product by explaining how it has our fingerprints all over the process from grain to bottle justifies calling it craft and I'm good with that. More adventures to come.

I will definitely be eyeing a jacketed system, something that will allow fermenting and distilling on grain. This will be high on the upgrade list. For now I guess I just need to be more patient and diligent with the process like Still_Holler posted. I can'tr complain about the taste of the end product, very smooth with a subtle sweetness and not too much of a corn taste, just wish I was getting more sooner. Here is a link to the mash tun we use, there is a false bottom but grain is getting past the sides and some corn through the holes. http://www.bubbasbarrels.com/kettles/55-gallon-mash-tun

Sloping screen? What's the thread?
