The still is on on hold - If the sale falls through I will let you all know. Thanks! p.s. iStill is made and shipped from Poland I have the paperwork.
-
iStill is manufactured in Poland, part of EU
-
Yup - I think that might be it.

Hi we are selling our iStill 250, we got it for a particular job which we are now prevented from doing. However we have made some great spirits and the still has been run less than a dozen time since we got it. The iStill has been standing idle for 2 or 3 months now while we looked for legal clarity on the project, but we are no nearer a solution so are cutting our losses. The still is in perfect working order and we are in Europe if you are interested. €5500 inc delivery intra EU.

Hi, I can recommend the Scottish Craft Distillery Association, great support and very local knowledge. Where are you based? Peter

Yes I would love to see some photos too. Please email peter@blackwaterdistillery.com

Thanks to the advice and help of good citizens on this forum, we are making great headway with formulating our gin. So I have a question, when we have to scale up the final recipe a hundred fold, what are the potential pit falls?
-
Funny how the best solutions are the simple ones. Thank you both.

Very true, which is why I'd love to use wood - but the knowledge of how to use/clean/live with wooden tanks has passed on, do I need to worry marauding bacteria? I have no idea, but I'd like to know before I go to the considerable expense of buying one
-
Yup that would work. Anyone got an alternative to heating a 1000 litres of water? Anyone using an oak fermenter? Thanks in advance.
-
Good point, thank you. And if it's open - which it might be?
-
We are looking at getting a small 1000 litre fermenter - here in Europe Cypress wood is not easy to get, but oak fermenters are. Has anyone any experience of using an oak fermentation tank? We are in a temperate area, so not worried about excessive heat and cold, just worried about bacterial infections etc with low abv in an oak tank. Should we just go for stainless?

Check out southwestern distillery in Cornwall UK, Tarquin uses a Portuguese alembic fired by a gas burner he told me that as long as there is plenty of ventilation it works just fine - his gin is damn fine too. Also don't forget all cognac is distiller over an open flame.

Yeah, I get it too.
