I have 4 brand new 30 gallon barrels from ADK Cooperage. Level 3 char. They're individually wrapped and also wrapped on a pallet, ready to ship. I picked them up from the cooperage about 4 weeks ago and filled the same batch last week with no issues. $1,600 FOB 12513.

Update on inventory: All 30 gallon barrels are sold along with 1x 25 gallon. 13x 25 gallon barrels remain 8x are 2 years 3 months 5x are 3 years 2 months Asking $23,500 for the remaining lot.

I have 20 barrels of New York State farm distillery compliant bourbon I'm looking to offload. Made with 100% New York grains. Barrels: 14x 25 gallon, 6x 30 gallon. All level 3 char. Mash bill: 75c 21r 4m Proof: Entered at 125 (current samples have been measured near that proof) Age: 2 years, 2 months (filled 8/21) This would be great for a new farm distillery looking to bring compliant aged spirits to market quickly. Will sell in barrels or breakdown into totes for easier transport. Wanting to sell as a lot. Asking $35,000 for the lot.

Did you find the juice you were looking for here?

I've used Packlane with good results.

Go through my junk mail! I swear I get 5 flyers a day.

I'm currently using 1 micron poly filter bags for just about all the spirits I bottle. A few spirits in particular (with fruit in them) are having some trouble with passing through those filters and more seriously, are showing some sediment in bottles. It seems like maybe a filter press is a good option instead of spending half a day trying to get 55 gallons through a series of prefilters and wasting $100-200. My time is what I really need back. I already have a pretty sturdy mash pump. And I'll probably be doing batches of anywhere from 30-150 gallons at a time. Anyone have any thoughts on using a press for this application? Thanks

I've had the exact same timing issues. Along with the bogus surcharges.

I'm just starting to age in a temperature controlled environment for the first time and would like to hear the opinions here as well.

Depends on the supplier. Everything is tighter post-pandemic. It seems to me, sales people are very comfortable using the 'limited supply, order lots now' tactic even if supply is full. Prices are higher. MOQ from saver is a pallet or two, but they're absolutely awful to deal with. And there's no more on-the-spot buying. You have to order 6-8 months in advance and hope they can get their act together and deliver. Burch has been fair with me. MOQ is super low but I order big to lower shipping cost per unit. For custom- it seems like a $10k fee for set up and 50,000 units annually guaranteed, or somewhere around there.

Over the last 2 years, I've had comically bad experiences with Saverglass. They've never had good customer service, probably because I only order $30,000-$50,000 of bottles per year, but the level of customer service is abysmal. They've messed up my last 2 big orders and essentially tried to shift the blame to me. Then told me there's nothing I can do about it and I'll have to wait until next year for the bottles. The last 2 shipments I've received damaged and there's essentially no recourse. They've double charged me on occasion and are just generally awful at creating a good business environment. This is, bar none, the worst professional business dealings I've ever experienced. But no one makes the bottle I need besides them. I'm between a rock and a hard place. Has anyone else has bad experiences with them or did I just land the worst contacts/situations?

I have one all-copper pot still and one stainless boiler with a copper column. Neither have a CIP system so I have to disassemble to clean with a low concentrate citric solution. Just about everything I've read says to not use abrasive material to clean the copper components. The issue I'm running into is over time, I'm having to put more and more elbow grease to achieve the same results and it seems like using a mildly abrasive scour pad would make my life a lot easier. Any thoughts on this? Also, how often do you clean your copper with citric? I'm wondering if I'm not doing it often enough because it's such a time-consuming task.

$1,000 for all 7 tanks?

I've had a Corson mash tun working for 6+ years with zero issues. I know this is not a representation of the full spectrum of equipment, but just wanted to share my experience.

Just echoing what's been said: use a small bottler and save money for a system (or find a different bottler). I could have 1 well-trained employee making $22/hour do the entire 3,000 bottle run in a week with 2 enolmatics. The labor cost would be around $.35-$.40 per bottle. $6.70 per bottle is definitely a company with more work than they can handle charging excessive fees to either run you off or gouge you on the price.

I'm in the market for 30 gallons barrel racks. Just got a quote from Western Square- $210 per rack all-in when buying 50 racks, more if buying less than 50. Are there any other rack makers that might be recommended or other solutions? Perhaps my frugality is showing, but 10k+ just seems a little steep for storing 100 barrels.

I've exhausted all normal avenues for bottles and hoping maybe someone has discontinued use or has extra bottles. Looking for: Qbic 375ml Nordic 375ml Nordic 750ml Oxygen 750ml I'm in NY. It's a long shot but ya never know. Thanks for looking.

I'm having trouble finding distilled water in bulk. Preferably in IBC totes but could use 55 gallon drums as well. Located in slightly Upstate NY, 100 miles north of NYC. Any suggestions or observations welcome- I'm new to needing this kind of volume. One additional note- I have found the technical grade stuff for around $4/gallon but find it hard to imagine there isn't a much more reasonable source.
