If you are doing gin it is best to have a dedicated tank for it, but you can do multiple spirits in the same tank as gin but you must clean really well or you might get gin flavors in your whiskey.   W sell new transtore tanks at a lower price than buying direct from the factory.  You can blend and store in the transtore tanks.  these Tanks are UL listed and are legal to store spirits in.  We can add CIP if you like.  We could also add an explosion proof agitator and we have sold them with jackets for use as fermenters.  They are made in the USA.  We have other tanks as well.  Please see the picture and drawing below of the 550 gallon.  Also these totes are stackable which can really save on space.

 

 

 

 

What kind of price are you looking at for a 350 gallon or so with agitator and CIP?

This just popped up from a local place today:

I agitate the mash right before i pump it to ease the pressure on the pump

Lol, there's another one claiming to be from <insert celebrity name here> TV show that wants to highlight craft distillers.  Total scam.  They want you to pay them $ to produce a segment for "the show."  My wife has a company that does this, so I know.  Content producers don't ask the subject of the segment to pay production costs, unless they are wanting to make something to shop around, maybe.  Besides, the production costs they mentioned were outrageous.  I'm betting we're not the only one to get this call.

We got that same call!

That happened to me one time. I was running my steam pressure too high and it over powered my Dephleg

Kelly,

When do you think you will have barrels ready to deliver?

Yeah, you can do that. There just has to be a wall between the two, and some finagling with the separate permits I believe. Great Wagon Road out of Charlotte does that, and the bar attached to them, the Broken Spoke, does really well. If you talk to Ollie about it, I am sure he could help you out with that part.

Golden,

We are in Greensboro NC. There are advantages and disadvantages with being in a control state. NC has been really supportive, just know that the tasting room will not bring as much revenue in NC as it will or Oregon. We can only sell 1 bottle, per person, per year right now, and cannot serve mixed drinks. So, just keep that in mind if you are planning on focusing on a tasting room revenue.
