Hello All, I'm seeking a small still for R&D; it would need to be capable of generating neutral spirits. I have tooled around with the Turbo 500 packed column (https://stillspirits.com/products/turbo-500-still); their literature states upper limits of 186 proof, which I was able to reach (188-189, in fact). I wasn't able to get to 190 proof, which I'll need for compliance. I've contemplated fitting the Turbo 500 with a 2" TC adapter and adding a different or taller plated or packed column. However, I'm not sure of the Turbo's heat output (1600 W) being sufficient. So, my questions for the community: Are there columns I could fit on the Turbo 500 that could generate >190 proof spirits with its existing heat output? or Are there other small stills that could get me >190 proof? Some other considerations: The wash would be free from solids, so direct heating elements are fine I don't have access to steam Cost and space are considerations - I'm looking for something less than 15 gallon capacity. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm interested in purchasing a new or used copper still for my business. We have an existing setup that we'd like to upgrade in the near future. An ideal setup would be a 250 - 500 gallon pot still (and we'd consider as small as 125 gallon), with a steam jacket and, ideally, an agitator. Any associated equipment is of interest as well, including mash tuns, fermenters, receiving tanks, etc. That said, we will want to square away the still prior to or at the same time that we order other equipment so that we ensure that the sizing is right. We have some flexibility as far as what we ultimately purchase so we're willing to consider a moderately wide range of options in size and specs. For the right opportunity we can act very quickly if needed. If you have any equipment for sale that you think fits into the range of what I've laid out please feel free to let us know. Thanks!
