First off, Southernhighlander is your guy. They sell the best gear for fair prices and the service for my system has been great. All I can tell you is our journey. I purchased a 250 gal still and ran it as an electric bain-marie as well as mashing in the still. I did that for a few years. Then I purchased a steam boiler and converted the still over to steam and bought a mash-tun. This year we are going to buy a 1000 gallon stripping still and use the 250 for spirit runs. So the 250 was a really good tool for us to grow. Year one we did about 25 barrels (1600 PG) last year we did 200 barrels (12,000 PG) on that same still. Next year with 1000 gal striping still and 250 gal spirit still we should have the capacity to make about 600 barrels. The biggest thing I would have changed is to go steam from the start and buy a bigger boiler than you need now. What I spent to get the electric up to snuff was about half of what a good boiler would have cost. Don't go into a building that does not have gas. I know a couple of other distillers who use propane and the cost is crazy. Happy to chat by phone, but Southernhighlander is about the best vendor I've dealt with at this level.

Where are you located?

We have been working with them for several years. Yeast, Enzymes, Lab Work. We get great results and the customer service is great.

This is sold.

Purchased a new larger mash tun, so we are selling the current one. We have a great, 250 gallon mash tun for sale. Purchased from Still Dragon, we have used it for about 3 years. It's in near new condition and ready to be installed. False bottom for making single malts or beer. Grist hydrator included. Can run on steam or electric. We have run it both ways. $15,000 located in Franklin, KY (near Nashville, TN)

Still available?

The Chiller is sold. Thx

20 Ton Chiller for sale. Located in KY. Never hooked up. I have the wrong voltage at my shop and this is overkill for my operation. Paid 5K would like to get 4500.

I'm sure these are great units and have been well cared for, however I have a quote on my desk for the same units from Custom Metal Craft for brand new units at about this same price, 7500 and 1000 gal units at about 8K each.

The still has been sold.
