  4. We use our 250 gallon Kothe still for mostly gin these days. We have it set up with 2(2) 8 plate columns for use in the little vodka we produce. We make whiskey on both the 250 gallon Kothe and the 500 gallon still from Paul. The 500 gallon still would be replaced with a new 1000 gallon pot still. I am leaning toward the Kothe as we have experience with the company and equipment and have had no issues with quality over 6 years of use. This 1000 gallon still would be used 7 days a week with one shift to start. I would entertain the idea of a continuous column still but we have building constraints on the height we could fit. (28' ceilings at peak) My main question is on equipment quality and whiskey quality comin g off these stills. I know this is based a lot on opinions and has a lot to do with predistillation and distillation experience, but it would be good to hear from a number of different players on their experiences.
  5. I am looking to upsize our still to 1000 gallon from a current 250 and 500 gallon. We have a 250 gallon Kothe still and a 500 gallon still from Paul at Affordable Distillery Solutions. We have looked at Carl, Paul's, Vendome, and Kothe's. Any guidance out there from other's past experience?
  6. It is about 10' long (20 feet of tube in a U shape)
  7. I think the inner tubing is 1 1/2" so we have about 1/2" of cooling flow around the inner tube. I am selling my chiller and use 52 degree well water and agitation to cool the jacketed mash tank. This is working well for us and eliminates my chiller costs. It does take a little longer but it works into our day's schedule.
  8. The total cooling length is about 20 feet. The chilled water enters the outer jacket through the bottom port that sits vertically in the image and exits on the top port opposite and also vertical. The Hot mash enters the top end port (2" Triclover) and exits on the bottom end port (2" Triclover) and goes back to your mash tank. The end ports connect through a stainless pipe that runs down the center of the larger 2 1/2" outer pipe (tube inside tube). Chilled water runs between the outer surface of the inside pipe and the inner surface of the exterior pipe. Chilled water and hot mash run in opposite directions. Hope this helps.
  9. It has 2" Triclover fittings. Looks like a 1 1/2" tube inside a 2 1/2" tube. Inner tube for mash. ~2 hours mash cool down with 45 degree water
  10. It is a 2" tube sized for a 500 gallon mash tun.
  11. 10 Ton Chiller with Circulating Pump, Heat Exchanger, and extra (brand new) Pump motor. Purchased and put into use September of 2016. Paid $18,000 and then $800 for extra pump. Asking 10K with you setting up shipping or picking up in Thompsonville, Michigan. 11K and I'll set up crating and shipping. Chiller Proposal_Invoice Iron Fish Distillery.pdf
