    Hi Jim,

    A 600 gallon stripping still will give you  approximately 182.4 gallons of 25% low wines if the mash is 8%.   For another quote email Susan at susan@distillery-equipment.com

     

    I'm glad to help with getting your still to produce 190 proof and above. First I have a couple of questions.

    How many plates do you have?

    Are all of your plates in one vertical column or in multiple columns?

    If your plates are in multiple columns, how many columns are there and how many plates in each column?

    Thanks

    Paul, no plates in the column atop the 150 gal. spirit still., just a dephlegmator. Next column consists of 11 bubble plates with a drainback,( to the still),  pot at the base. Third column consists of 8 bubble plates with a drainback ,( to the still), pot at the base and a dephiegmator at the top.  Last column is only the condenser and parrot. We by pass the bubble plate columns,(2 & 3) when making whisky. Through the columns (with 25% low wines in the still) we are barely getting 91-94%ABV. Any suggestions. Thanks Jim

    Adam,

     

    I don't want to say how on here because my competitors will use the info to modify their equipment.  If you or any other distiller on here wants to know just email me privately.

     

    Thanks

    Paul, this is jim ,  I have brought from you in the past (tube in shell cooler) works great.  Susan has sent me info on your 800 gal. stripper still but am unsure if maybe a 600 gal. would work better,(limited by steam boiler size)  Presently separating grain and liquid out of the mash tun, but considering do all on the grain, can dispose of spent grain and liquid on my farm distillery.  My stripper still is not worth converting to on the grain.  I should talk to you ,several moving parts.  Also in reference to multi plate columns was wondering why I have trouble hitting 95%ABV on the spirit still.  .
