  2. Hi! I have the same boiler, and was half assed looking for a double. Where are you located? Is there any problems with it? And why are you selling it? dave@waywarddistillery.com 250.218.2363
  3. Yes, but only to a point. Eventually the column would be overwhelmed. We could probably double the pot (to 120G) with a little finesse. But we are going to right up to 300G so it won't work for us.
  4. Thank you for all the interest but this little beaut has found a new home in Toronto
  5. SOLD TO A VERY NICE HOME Hey everyone! We're almost ready to receive our new still so it's time to re-post this beauty This still was awesome for me. It enabled me to grow my business for 3 years before investing in a huge system. I was able to stay fully electric for years, significantly cutting down my initial investment costs. I was able to run everything on one still, stripping ferments, spirit runs, gin runs and rum all in one place. In year 2 I added an electric continuous stripping still and that kept me going all the way to the end of year 3. Now its time to go big, and pass this starter system on. (I'm not selling the continuous stripper yet, but we can talk if you're interested) We will run this still 6 days a week right up to when we turn it off. If the buyer wants to come down and see it in action, we'd be happy to provide on-site training for a few days.

  6. Hi Curt, We use the Variable Volume floating lid wine style tanks for almost everything in the distillery. I have a few brands: Marchisio and Albrigi are the ones I can recall right now. I collect spirits from the still in a 100L, store 95% in a 500L, hold filtered blending water in a 700L, ferment in 1000L and am currently upgrading to 2150L fermenters. You can order then from any commercial wine supplier with a plethora of options. My smaller (under 200L) tanks come standard with a 1/2 spigot, but every tank over 250L I pay extra for the 1.5" triclamp. I keep them on resin pallets and use a forklift/pallet jack to move them around. As a DIY solution you can purchase a 1/2"NPT to 1.5" triclamp adapter and switch out the spigots for TC, but the flows won't be as good as with a true 1.5"TC A 2150L tank with triclamp and sampling vavle runs about $3000CAD, a far cry from the $6500CAD solid lid tanks (but has no cooling jacket) Downsides: No temp controll The lids have to checked every day or two to make sure the pump/bladder is still inflated if a lid falls down ti can be a pain to fish it out If you float the lid on the spirits (which I don't do) you risk flavour transfer in the plastic bladder area. the air pump/bladder replacement parts are more expensive then you think. So if you break a pump its about $100 to replace. Upside: So. Damn. Cheap. light and movable Easy to clean (just lift the lid and scrub) Did I mention just ho cheap these are? These work very well for me and my process. Cheers!
  7. Hi, Is this air or electric driven? I can't find anything on the net
  8. I've found myself in a shortage of Jersey 375ml. Looking for 2 or 3 skids for delivery in July to Canada. call or email if you've got em Dave 250 218 2363 Dave at Wayward Order . com Cheers!
  9. Thanks Guys, I saw the safety inspector for my area today and he said he wouldn't allow us to turn this thing on until he saw some installation data or manual from the contractor. Plus we need to get it certified for use in Canada as it doesn't have a Canadian certification stamp, only the European "CE" I've reached out to the manufacturer a few times over the last 5 months and never once heard anything back. Does anyone have contact info for Arnold Holstein that'll actually be responded to?
  10. Hi Everyone, I recently acquired a beautiful Arnold Holstein 45L propane fired testing still and I'm having a heck of a time finding ANY information on set up, installation, operation or replacement parts. I'd like to make sure this thing is safe before I fire it up and that I'm operating it safely and within guidelines. Any help would be appreciated. Here's a pic of it in -Dave arnold still.pdf
  11. Hi Guys, I'm looking for info on painting and marking barrels. My guess is that I should avoid oil paint or stain (because leaching) but I haven't been able to find anything on the net that wasn't pintrest for my garden Any recommended paints or dyes? I'd like to paint white and stencil over top as in the attached picture Cheers! -Dave
  12. Bumping this post! I saw a big change in "depth" of taste after 3 weeks in bottle and tracked it for 6 weeks. By that time we were pretty much sold out. I still have a half dozen bottles of my first batch (~18 weeks in bottle) in my private collection but am hesitant to open them.
  13. Hey Guys, Thanks for the link but I'm hesitant to look to a manufacturers website for unbiased reviews of their equipment and customers service. I was looking for to hear if anyone is still using them, and if they are happy. There were a lot of people with a lot of opinions talking about them last year but nothing at all lately.
  14. Hey Friends, I was just looking at my iStill50 I bought a few years back for R&D (holding up my collection of hats in my living room) and got to wondering, What hapened to those guys? I remember lots of activity on this board from a bunch of months ago, but then nothing. How are they doing? Do you have one and want to talk about it (good or bad) Anyone bought one recently?
  15. Congrats! Can't wait to see the catalog
  16. Welcome Philstill! Where in Canada are you? We're on Vancouver Island.
  17. WhiskeyTango: We ferment honey, not grain. For us, the switch to on demand was a no brainer. We heat all our stills electrically so we don't have a steam system. We also don't save or store hot water. All our hot water came from a traditional gas hotwater tank. The tank quickly became our prime limiting factor, waiting for it to fill and then heat. The new on demand system provides constant water flow at 65C (you can set it higher with the commercial bypass switch) total investment under $2000 CAD and it completely changed our lives.
  18. My favourite flavour is pirate #5
  19. Has anyone heard of changes coming to the definition of rum? I heard some rumors but have no idea where to look to confirm. Cheers, Dave
  20. Hedge: What I have now (for half my tanks) is a 2"-1.5" F-F NPT then a 1.5" Male npt-1.5" triclamp It works, but its long, has lots of little spots for fluid pooling and leaking and costs a few bucks. I was hoping to minimize the number of connections and length of the adapters.
  21. James: I need three in total. NavenJohnson: I tried that site and couldn't find any triclamp at all.
