we are looking for a combination mash ton stripping still 1000 Gal.with heating jackets ( steam ) and cooling jackets. im ucrrently running a 500 gallon copper steam fired rig.problem is we mash, ferment, and distill in that rig.Problem is cooling it down to pitch yeast. i have been dumping in 5 barrels of ice to rapidly cool it down. the problem i was having was we used to let it sit over night then use ice and water to get it to pitch temp. except we also have a brewery in the same building ( we are separated by a half wall ) they make sours over there and use lacto bacsillus to sour the beer. now i have l that and who knows what other strains of yeast and foe running rampant in my building. if i let it stand to long lacto gets a hold before the yeast and i have lost a few ferments top lacto.
