Hi JoeBlotto, Justandy I can sell you a still that will produce just as good as any German made still at 1/4 to 1/3 of the cost. In fact we have a German still here now that we are modifying so that it will better suite the customers needs and it is the 2nd German still that we have modified. You can spend a huge amount of money for a name. We have equipment in over 145 distilleries and the proof is in the Spirits. Email me paul@distillery-equipment.com for a reference list of customers that you can call, email and visit to see our equipment in operation. Check out our web site http://distillery-equipment.com Here is what one of our customers had to say about the equipment that he purchased from us: “When we started the plan of Black Dog Distillery, we reached out to several still manufacturers and suppliers. ADE and their team took the time we needed to help us understand our options. Not just for today but where we might go in the future. Fast forward a year and half later, we are open and operational. The equipment has been performing and producing award winning Vodka and Rum.” -Keith Moore, Black Dog Distillery. For more info check out the 5th reply to the topic below.

Our 800 gallon stripping still, with our over sized condenser set up to run GNS, will produce 2,500 to 3,000 proof gallons per day in one shift. With the addition of one of our gin baskets/botanical baskets you can add whatever flavors that you like including grain flavors such as Rye etc. The price for this unit is only $43,000.00 We have a little 10 gallon unit that will produce 30 proof gallons of vodka, gin or grain flavored spirits from GNS in an 8 hr span and the price is less than $3,000.00, and it has it's own built in electric oil bath heating system. We can supply GNS stills in many different capacities up to one that will produce 5,000 proof gallons per day. We have equipment in over 145 distilleries in the USA, Canada, Mexico and Australia.

sbivalacqu There is a distillery over near Branson that does not distribute at all and they do really well. They do several tours per day plus they have a bar over the distillery with live music. I heard that they tried distributing (a distillery can get a distributors licence in MO) but they found that they make allot more profit selling at their facility. In MO you get a by the drink licence and carry out licence with your state dsp. Email me and I will give your their contact info. paul@distillery-equipment.com

Good job on the valves and electrical. As I understand it, you are correct about the terms of class and division, including the distances, but sometimes inspectors have different ideas. It is best to fallow the codes and don't volunteer any info about class or division etc. unless it appears the inspector is going above and beyond what you understand the rules to be and of course keep in mind that the inspector is God in this situation, Be business like and pleasant, don't get stressed and don't ever, get angry or emotional with them. i know these are common sense things, but I know someone who allowed their emotions get the best of them in a stressful situation and they regretted it later.

Tell them that the still is an open system and therefore not a pressure vessel of any sort and therefore the still itself does not need an ASME stamp or listing. However, you really should have the proper pressure relief valve on the still as well as a vacuum relief valve. If you went to your local hardware store and purchased a pressure relief valve for a water heater, then you need to remove it and take it back because it is definitely not the correct one for your 160 gallon still. You need a 5 psi pressure relief valve for steam that will discharge at least 200lbs of steam per hr. The pressure relief valve should be on top of the still boiler or on the line arm above the column and it should be plumbed to the outside of your building. The vacuum relief valve should have a bore size of at least 3/4" The electrical system is a different story. If the complete electrical system is not UL listed, then all of the individual electrical system components will need to be UL listed. Also the control panel will need to have the voltage, phase and amp draw listed on it. The cheap CE listed Chinese panels and CE listed Chinese parts will not pass most inspections here in the US. CE is for Europe and parts of Asia and is not good for the US. Your heating elements will certainly need to be UL listed. The US made ones like Camco and Chromalox always are and the Chinese ones typically are not. Here is something else. Your electrical system should be rated at least NEMA4X which means that the everything is liquid and vapor tight. Always remember safety first.

We have these stills in stock. This 45 gallon still is great for Bourbon, Whiskey, Brandy, Grappa, Rum, Vodka and many others. It will distill between 120 and 170 proof with the 4 plate bubble plate column and up to 190 proof with the 4"x6' Vodka Column Extension added. This Still has a beautiful 4" Diameter Copper Bubble Plate Column with four 4" diameter sight glasses, Gatling Gun (Tube & Shell) Dephlagmator on top of the column and a 3" Gatling Gun (Tube & Shell) Condenser on the right side of the column. The column can be ran in Pot Still Mode to make Whiskey and Moonshine or it can be ran in reflux mode to make high proof light Whiskey or Rum. The optional Vodka Column Extension can be added to make Vodka The boiler has three 2" Tri Clamp ports, with Tri Clamps and Cover Plates. The ports can be used to install an electric element with controller (please see the heating system option listed below). The best thing about this 45 gallon still is that it is jacketed. Cooking oil or water can be ran in the jacket. This gives you the ability to run grain in mashes and other mashes such as potato mashes, grappa mashes and fruit mashes with the solids left in, without the worry of scorching. This makes this still perfect for craft recipe research and development. If you are running a production sized still with a pot still head/column or a plated column, we can build you a still that will give you flavor profile and proof results that should closely match your larger still. We have options below for agitators and heating systems etc. We also have these 45 gallon units in a combination Mash Tun Still Configuration. These combination units can be used to both cook the mash and to distill the mash. These units have the agitator center set on top and the column set towards the side. There is no extra cost for the combination Mash Tun Still configuration. The column actually produces a little better in this configuration. 45 Gallon Operating Capacity 53 Gallon Total Capacity 13 Gallon Jacket Operating Capacity 16 Gallon Total Capacity in the Jacket 2"Sanitary Butterfly Drain valve for Mash Carrying handles. 3" Tri clamp Column Connection ½” 5 psi Pressure Relief Valve on the jacket ½” 5 psi Pressure Relief Valves on the inner boiler 4” Diameter Copper Bubble Plate Column The column is completely modular with Sanitary Tri Clamp Connections throughout.

I'm glad that you like them ValleyRidge. If you ever need anything or if you have questions, just give me a holler: 417-778-6100, paul@distillery-equipment.com Paul

Humulus We can supply a 200 or 300 or 500 gallon still. Here is the link to the 500 gallon still http://www.distillery-equipment.com/500_gallon_still.htm Please scroll down to see all of the different design options.

William, I didn't think that you were being disrespectful at all. I just wanted to give you a good complete answer, so you would know why my email turn around time can so long. Another thing that I always try to do; is if it takes a couple of days for me to answer and you reply right away to my answer, then I try to get back right away so that we can complete the conversation that day. Also, Buestar is of course correct about sizing up to an 8" plated. It will give you more throughput and a faster run time when you are running the plates and deflegmator. However, your run time for stripping runs and pot still runs (running with no plate and no water to the dephlegmator) would be the same whether the column is a 6" or 8" as long as the condenser is the same size and has the same efficiency.

Hi William, I am 3 days behind on my emails right now. I typically run 1 to 7 days behind, only because I cannot keep up. This is typical for me as I usually receive 50 to 100 emails per day and somewhere around 30 calls per day. I am working on Wednesdays emails right now and I just replied to yours a few minutes ago. Susan is working on your quote right now and she will have it over to you within the next hr or so. We have equipment in over 130 distilleries now and we have around 40 orders for large equipment that we are working on now. I work 50 to 60 hrs per week and I spend around 85% of my time answering emails. I answer them as quickly as possible. I answer every single email that I receive and I return all calls. I spend as much time answering questions as each customer requires. I am always here to help all of my customers. Customers who have already purchased their equipment from me always get priority. I have 18 employees as of today, with 10 welder fabricators. I out source work to a factory that has 60 employees and about 75% of the work they do is for me. It's back to answering emails now.

I can get them in 150 and 200 gallon sizes with wheels no problem.

Hi William, You should go with a 6" column. If you are going to run Whiskey and GNS all that you need is a pot still column. A pot still column will get you to 130 proof and if you are putting your whiskey in a barrel there is no reason to go to a higher proof than that. However, if you are going to make a moonshine or un-aged whiskey, then it is my opinion that you should run at around 150 proof. This will make your un-aged whiskey smoother but you will still have some flavor and body in it. If you are going to do white whiskeys or rum then I would suggest one of our 6" modular 4 plate bubble plate columns. Since you are doing GNS for vodka, I would also suggest an over sized condenser so that you can do the Vodka runs in a reasonable amount of time (3 hrs after operatin temp is reached with 20KW if you run diluted to 35% ABV. Here is how the modular 4 plate column would work: When you run white dog for the barrel or GNS for vodka, you simply pull the plates out of the column and run in pot still mode. When you run higher proof moonshine, white rum or white whiskey put the plates back in and run in reflux mode. I have the 6" 4 plate modular columns in stock right now. I have them in copper or stainless with copper plates and copper plate components. The stainless one costs less and I can put enough copper in the stainless column, so that you will get more copper vapor interaction than an all copper pot still will give you. If you are not going to have a run target proof of over 130 then I can supply you with an all copper pot still column or a stainless pot still column. I would put in a copper perf plate with large copper rashig rings and a copper defuser plate assembly so that you have more copper vapor interaction than an all copper pot still, even with the stainless column. For a quote and more info email paul@distillery-equipment.com or call 417-778-6100 We do not have these on the web site yet but we hope to get them on there within the next couple of weeks.

We have 50 gallon receiving tanks (they actually hold 54 gallons) on wheels with brakes for $897.00 on our web site. These are low profile, so they will fit under a lower parrot. These will be going on sale for 2 weeks at only $795.00 each. These are really heavy duty tanks and they work really well. We also have them in 90 gallon capacity. We can make any changes to them that you like, such as adding tri clamp ports anywhere on the tank etc. We can also make them into 2 compartment tanks. For example we can make the 50 gallon a 2 compartment tank for heads and tales and you can use the 90 gallon for hearts. Check out these tanks at https://www.distillery-equipment.com/oshop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=98 The 90 gallon tanks will be on sale for $995.00 We are selling them for that price now. The listing will change later today. paul@distillery-equipment.com 417-778-6100

Hi William, I have receiving and holding tanks that are 8 gallon, 13 gallon and 26 gallons. We can put any fittings one them that you like.

I can help you with both the mash cooker and the low pressure steam boiler. Email paul@distillery-equipment.com or call 417-778-6100.

I can build you one like that and I can guarantee that the hook will not break, however it is up to you to make sure that the tri clamp connection itself can handle the weight. If you want it made, email me the specs and I will give you a quote. paul@distillery-equipment.com

Hi whale shark, We have some great little 10 gallon and 20 gallon R&D stills that can be customized to give you the same flavor profiles as your big still. We have these stills in jacketed Bain Marie electric or we can supply jacketed units that will work with low pressure steam. If you ever decide to distill on the grain, these units can be configured as combination mash tun stills. email paul@distillery-equipment.com These systems are not on our web site yet, but I hope to have them on there by next week.

Hi Double Down, We can help you with that. Email us paul@distllery-equipment.com for a quote.

Yes, these can now be used with low pressure steam, as can our pro series equipment. We also supply low pressure steam boilers. If anyone needs a quote for a low pressure steam boiler, just shoot us out an email. paul@distillery-equipment.com

Hi William, A bubble plate is a device used in a distillation column to increase proof. A bubble plate typically has 3 different components in it: risers, down comers and bubble caps. A procap is a combination riser down comer, that is sold by Still Dragon. The original design for a combination riser down comer was done many decades ago. To make a true vodka from mash, in one run, most efficiently, you will need 21 plates, or a packed column that will produce like a 21 plate column. The other way to produce vodka is to use GNS or NGS. NGS and GNS are the same thing. Basically GNS is 192 proof pure grain alcohol derived from corn and usually produced in fuel ethanol plants. You can typically buy it in bulk 270 gallon totes, for around $3.00 per proof gallon. It is usually diluted down and ran through the distillers pot still. It is my understanding, that since it has already been distilled once at 190 proof or above, it does not need to be distilled at 190 proof the 2nd time, so a vodka column is not needed and it can even be ran in a pot still with a non plated column. This is only what I have been told, so if you are going to do it, you should check with the TTB. Most blended whiskeys are a blend of GNS and barrel aged whiskey. Many distillers believe that there is no craft in vodka. They believe, that all of the craft is stripped out when all of the flavors are stripped out. Others believe very strongly that Vodka is a craft product and many of the American Craft Vodkas have hints of flavors from the fruits, grains, sugars, vegetables, legumes or what ever those vodkas are produced from. Personally, I am neutral ;o) when it comes to this. I have no opinion one way or another. I leave it up to my customer to decide, but I always arm them with the info that they need to make that decision. I do this, because I am not just here to sell equipment. I am here to sell my customers the correct equipment for their specific needs, no matter what their needs may be. Also, as many here know, different states have different rules concerning what ingredients craft distilleries can use and where those ingredients can come from, so always make sure that you know the rules before you make decisions about your equipment. If I can help you further in any way please reply here or contact me privately paul@distillery-equipment.com or call 417-778-6100 and ask for Paul.

Hi Novice learning Whether you should build your own still or not comes down to this. If a person has the knowledge and the skills they can build their own still. If they do not have the knowledge and skills they should not attempt it. If it is all about saving money, I have some high quality low cost stills that work really well. They are show room pieces as well. Contact me if you like. 417-778-6100 paul@distillery-equipment.com http://distillery-equipment.com
