SOLD!

No column or condensor. Those can be purchased from hillbillystills.com as Silk City says (or from him); you can also get one from distillery-equipment.com or stilldragon.com. It has a 4 inch tri-clamp fitting on the top to receive the column.

We are in Vermont....

We bought this in our early days (2014!) and used it for small pilot batches, then as our rig for distilling our gins after maceration. We added a new heating element and put the still on wheels. We are keeping the column, which we have attached to a new, larger, bain-marie pot.

Replacing this setup -- the pot and the load center, made by Hillbilly Stills -- would cost $3450. We'll sell it for $1800 plus shipping.

600 gallon stainless steel rectangular mash tun, custom fabricated by Trident Stills in Etna, ME.

Sloped bottom with drainage channel and perforated screen; sparge rail down the two long dimensions; large manway; 120V AC agitator mounted in a hefty center support; 4 in. sanitary fitting in lid (we mounted a grist hydrator there). It has served us well for nearly four years, but we have upgraded to larger equipment.

Dimensions: ~96 in. long  x ~48 in. wide x ~36 in. tall.

Asking $7,500, strapped to a double pallet and ready for pickup from our facility in Middlebury, VT.

We use these -- they are fantastic tanks -- and the folks at Grand Teton are excellent to deal with.

Any suggestions?

We are in pretty much the same boat -- searching for options other than reaching into my wallet. I suggest you look for state-level and county-level economic development agencies and the like. We have one local group and another state-level group that have been very helpful in helping us put together a workable financing package for our building, and have also said they want to be involved in our distillery build-out when we kick that off this fall. They are particularly interested in jobs creation, I have found....
