  1. We're in the midst of switching over to 53G casks, so we're starting to sell off our 30G empties and racks. These are all freshly dumped from Sons of Vancouver Distillery -- we recently won Canadian Whisky of the Year 2023. We currently have for aging: 5x 30G Once-used bourbon, once-used rye -- lots of life left in these ($100 USD ea.) For finishing: 1x 30G Once-used bourbon, once-used curacao ($75 USD) 1x 30G Once-used bourbon, once-used amaretto ($75 USD) 1x 53G Once-used reposado tequila -- we had 1/2 full of rye for 1 month, so lots of tequila good-ness left in the top half of the barrel ($100 USD) Racks: 5x 30G 4-barrel racks, double bar, stackable, 4" ($75 USD ea.) Ships from North Vancouver, BC. Open to making a deal on the whole lot. Send a DM.
  2. Sounds like Sons of Vancouver/The Distillery School -
  3. Can anyone share some good info regarding different types of whole grain wheat when making vodka? Torrified vs raw vs malted wheat? How does each affect conversion, flavour, etc.
  4. I’m assuming this is electric by the photos - is it bain marie or direct heat via elements?
  5. I was meaning for use with spirit stills, to run through the condenser - you had recommended a unit about 2 HP.
  6. http://www.advantageengineering.com/breweryChiller/units/breweryChillerGlycol-bc1.5a.php Would this unit do the trick? There's someone selling one used.
  7. Does anyone have a 400 gallon mash tun or similar and is able to tell me what the weight is while empty? I know manufacturers will provide specs, but I just need a ballpark right now.
  8. Thanks for the info. It gets down to about -50 here at times, so I there'd be risk of the glycol freezing outdoors anyway!
  9. How do those work exactly? And are you talking glycol or just cold water?
  10. As I stated above, I have no intention of using closed loop for the wash still - there's too much heat being generated to do that.
  11. I have buddies who run 2 x 200L stills and they run water from an IBC tote to their condensers and then back through a radiator/fan combo, then back into the tote. Can run for 8 hours without much temp change. Ice to cool it down on really hot days. I'm just not sure that our inspectors will go for that, so the radiator/glycol method may be required. Any idea how much something like that would run?
  12. 1000 L wash still, but I'm just going to use city water for that, because I don't think I'll be able to recycle it.
  13. Yeah, someone else suggested just a simple tote of water run by a pump through and back into the tote. I'm worried that might not stay cool long enough for a whole run though?
  14. We pay for water here and we're in the city, so recirculation of some sort would be wise. But I also need something that's going to pass code inspections, so not sure if something homemade will cut it.
  15. Couldn't find a good thread about this topic, so I figured I'd start one. What are people using to cool their condenser/dephleg on their spirit still? city water? recirculation? glycol? I'm weighing my options and would love to see what people have found to work best!
  16. I've also seen some recommend a small amount of citric acid in water and leave it to soak for 5 - 10 minutes. Not as a regular cleaner, but sparingly for deep cleans. Thoughts?
  17. Perfect, thanks. That's really helpful.
  18. Just bought my first column! Very exciting, but it's used so it needs a good cleaning as it has quite a bit of build up inside. What's the best way to clean/refurb? Just the usual rinse/caustic/rinse/acid/rinse? I've seen some people recommend scrubbing with steel wool - bad/good idea?
  19. Using 182 degree water to heat up the jacket, and then mashing in at that temp. It works really well.
  20. I think we're going to go with a 1500 L mash tun from ADE to start, split into two totes, so we'll be doing at least two stripping runs per week, if not more.
