  2. Up for sale is a brand-new, steam-jacketed 3 bbl turnkey distillery system, manufactured by ABE Equipment in Lincoln, NE. This equipment was delivered from the manufacturer in late June 2022 and has been stored in a climate-controlled garage since then. The equipment has never been installed, and every part that came packaged or wrapped is still in its original packaging and shipping wrap. The distillery this equipment was intended for hasn’t come to fruition, so this is a great opportunity to get some outstanding equipment that is truly even better than “like-new,” for less money and lot shorter wait time than ordering it from the manufacturer today. With a steam-jacketed system, you’re looking at lower utility costs versus electric-element heating, and much shorter warm-up times, so you'll save money and time. Here’s what’s included: 3 BBL mash skid system: 3 x 100-gallon poly fermenters 100-gallon steam-jacketed mash tun Mash rake and paddle Heat exchanger All hoses and fittings Electrical control box Transfer pump and hoses 50-gallon pot still with bypassable 6-plate column Labeler NEMA controller Various couplings, hose fittings, etc., to keep you going Here’s some info about the setup from ABE’s website: Brochure for the turnkey system Brochure for the mash skid Brochure for the the 50-gallon still List price: $45,000 I have .pdfs of the equipment specs that I’ll be happy to share, as well, and plenty more pics. Feel free to reach out with any questions, additional photo requests, etc. Thanks for looking!

  9. I am considering a start up Craft Distillery here in Canada, unfortunately our Canadian Dollar is hurting right now (0.69/1.00) and am looking at sourcing some equipment, Stripper Still, Reflux, etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction so I am not paying out the butt once dollar conversion is factored in? Are there any reputable fabricators or folks with surplus equipment in Canada that could assist with my query? Don in AB
  10. ****SOLD*** We are selling our 200L Arnold Holstein Cooper still (built in 2013). We are selling because we have upgraded to a larger size. She works perfectly, with some recent upgrades to the CIP plumbing (changed from brass compression fittings to triclover). It’s a Hybrid still with a 13 plate vodka column and a 4 plate side column. The side column can be ran open or with bubble caps engaged. The pot still is steam heated with a pear shaped helmet and 240V phase agitator. Both columns are equipped with dephlegmators and lights inside the bottom section of the columns. The columns sit on a stainless pedestal that has 3 stainless collection tanks for heads, hearts and tails. The still and columns are complete copped on the inside. It’s also equipped with CIP system and water collection tank. She has produced award winning brandy, whiskey, gin and vodka. We hate to see her go! Lead times on these new are 8 months (that’s with fingers crossed). Price is $65,000 The still has been disassembled and is ready for crating and shipment. The still is located in Windsor, CA 95492. Buyer is responsible for shipping and cost for crating (if needed). Contact Brandon, Sonoma Brothers Distilling

  13. We have a lightly used 450 liter (118 gallon) Carl still. Everything you see in the photograph is for sale, including the steel mezzanine. The only part of the original build that is not for sale are two fermentation tanks. We are using them for another project. 8 adjusting plates and botanical basket. This was used for rum. We are asking $95000. Buyer would be responsible for crating and shipping. It is currently disassembled in Philadelphia PA. Please feel free to contact me with any questions! Attached is a PDF describing the still as proposed. The only change is to electrical specs: the unit as delivered is fed by 208 VAC 3-phase.

  14. We are upgrading our space from 100 gal internal electric and are in need of a steam jacketed still between 250-300 gal. We are open to new or used (given the design / price is right for us). Ideally we would like a pot/column hybrid with 4 plates and a gin basket, but may be open to start with just pot or just kettle-column. We will be producing American whiskey from ferment, as well as vapor infusing NGS that has been macerated for gin, etc. We are also looking for a relative boiler that can serve our 300 gal mash tun as well (5,000ft elevation). or any kind of relative sized equipment. Also, we would like to keep lead time within about a 3 month window, if possible. Thanks!

  20. I am wondering if anyone has converted their mashtun to work double duty as a low wines still? I use my 2000 litre mashtun 2 times a week( it sits unused for 3 days) and due to the high cost of another Still and lack of floorspace I am thinking of having a lyne arm and condenser fabricated. This would allow me to run low-wines for 3 days and mash for 2 days per week using the mashtun/still. This would allow me to do more finish distillation on my "actual still (vodka, Gin ,Whisky, etc.) A large 12" butterfly valve would open/close the chimney and a small 3-4" butterfly valve (12") would separate the lyne arm /condenser from the mashtun chimney, allowing one of the systems to be used per day. Has anyone done this or seen it done? This is hopefully and short term solution until expansion plans and funds are economically viable. thanks, Doug

  23. The biggest question I have about our new still is how to clean the condenser and lyne arms between the pot and columns. It is a 1000L vodka still with 20 plates. The plates and the pot are all on the CIP system. However, the condenser and spirit path between the pot and columns are not. We were told by the manufacturer to clean it by running tails through it. This seems like the wrong answer to me, considering the oils from the tails are mostly what we are trying to clean in the first place. I have a plan to rig up a line from the CIP pump right into the point where spirit leaves the condenser, but wasn't sure if I am missing something, or am mistaken about the cleaning powers of a tails run. As always, thanks for the help!
