    Hudson Bay Distillery had some used 5-gallon barrels last year. We bought about 10 of them and i think they had quite a few more.

    This was made by Dehner in Iowa. It is a very nicely built 150-gallon capacity steam jacket still kettle. 8" TC for the column. We are selling only the tank, mix motor, No column or condenser. This will come with a TC attached pressure relief valve. It also has a pressure and vacuum relief on the jacket. Heat up are very low as it has steam jackets on the side and on the bottom. It's been a great still to start our business on and now we are ready for bigger capacity. This tank will be ready to ship in early February or as soon as our new tank arrives. Call 612-419-4138 with questions. We are located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

    Who was this built by? Doesn't have steam jacket and cooling jacket?

    My experience is that there is only one way to combat this issue and that is to deep clean the f-ing thing at least once a month. completely drain, take-apart, scrub every nook and accessible cranny and let completely dry before assembling and making ice.

    How about Hoochwear's accuracy? The free app calculators are often quite helpful. Does anyone know has anyone tested their accuracy?

    Can you point to some of the better studies you've come upon?

    Thank you Rodger, and everyone else. Roughing it out ourselves is all I'm trying to do so I really appreciate the direction.

    Where can such a professional be found that understands this type of business?

    I am interested in understanding better the metrics around appraising my business. Can anyone give me a detailed list of what numbers I should be using along with specifics like equipment depreciation and how bank debt, barrel stocks, trademarks and such might affect the appraisal? PM or open forum Thank you

    Looking at the cost of using barrel brokers to purchase imported casks vs just setting it up myself. Can anyone...Dave Dunbar...fill me in on the realities of how much it costs to import used/ empty barrels and what it takes to set up as barrel importer? Cheers!

    As we grow I am looking harder at efficiencies. Although most of my distilling is done via pot still I only have so much of a footprint to work with so a continous is looking more and more interesting. Where can I learn about this? What are my options? Is this even the way to go?

    Our distributor recently asked us to contact the state of Colorado and submit to them a "Distributor of Record"? Our previous distributor and no other states we are in distributors has asked us to do this. Couldn't find anything in a google search for it. Can anyone shed some light on this for us here in Colorado? THX, NJ

    We are looking for a supplier of sugar maple charcoal. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    What were these used for previously? Do they have ANY residual smell, stain, etc on the inside? Are they 42x48?

    I've been waiting for samples and info from your sales people for a month.

    We're in Steamboat Springs. I'm interested in buying the 300gal fermenter. What are the physical dimensions? Have to make sure it fits in my space
  21. navenjohnson
    What is your price per barrel for these? What proof it is currently at? How many are remaining?
  22. navenjohnson
    Thats a long time to ferment rum. We do one and it completes the ferment in 3 days. 265lbs molassas + 265lbs turbinado + go ferm = fermad K intitially and at 1/3 sugar depletion.

    I am interested in the stainless milk containers and probably some ancillary items.

    Anyone know the max ABV you can obtain using red star bakers yeast in a grain mash. I think it's around 5.5abv from my own experiments but I thought I'd see if anyone has had a different experience.

    I am trying to learn more about the Dickel Rye Process. So far I have learned that the rye 95% distillate comes from MGP, than it is put through the Lincoln County Process, barreled, and aged from there. My two questions: 1) Does the spirit arrive at Dickel as "Distillate" wherein then, Dickel distills it again in their equipment and then continues the process, or does it arrive from MGP as a refined product. 2) What type of barrels Is Dickel rye aged in? New oak barrels or used oak barrels,and what cooperage are they from?
