Hey Paul, We are in the works of getting our 250 gal. still and are in the market for a boiler. What would the best way be to get a quote from you on a few different sized Rite boilers? Thanks!

Thank you guys! This was super helpful! I was looking right over the fact that most people add the main botanicals in the boiler. Duh. I should have realized that!

Fellas, We are new to the site and distilling. We are currently planning our distillery and have a 250 gallon pot still in the works. We want to add a gin basket just before the condenser and are struggling on how big it needs to be. After digging through the internet it appears most people are using 20-40 grams of botanicals per liter of neutral spirit. I have some juniper berries on hand and measured the volume 20 grams fills, then scaled this up to our 250 gallons. According to my math we would need an outrageous sized gin basket, something around 7,000 cubic inches. This would be close to a 5' tall 12" diameter gin basket. Is this outrageously large? We are not planning on running a deflag, so we will have to have the full charge of botanicals in the basket from start to finish of the run. Any help is appreciated!
