I have done small and large systems similar to this scenario. When you are crashing, you'll have a lot of hot water depending on the output water off the heat exchanger, cooling still not as warm but easier to figure. I am offering outdoor hybrid water/glycol coolers to crash which matches up really well to a reclaim clean water like you describe. I am getting reading to ship one of these to San Francisco for a smaller distillery and a large 60 ton unit for a distillery in Charleston who uses a separate chiller and stainless tank to chill city water for their still and saves all their warm water similar to what you describe. I can send you information on the Virga cooler if you want.

AZ getting to be a busy place for distilleries, you guys should be putting together you own group soon!

Does this still have the Chiller ( I think I supplied it)? Is it for sale?

I left a message on the other posting- did you see it? I just talked to the consultant who happened to call me- he lives close to you! His name is Colin Coan, phone 413-212-4022. He's a great guy and will help you out finish your set-up. I have supplied both distillery and brewery projects the cooling equipment to him in the past.

Congrats Nate! Let me know if you need anything!

I think he is in the County just South of you.

I have a consultant who works up both breweries and distilleries that lives across the Hudson in downstate, NY. Let me know your phone # if interested, and I'll give you his. Good Luck! Mike (Ex-Corningite -Steuben Co.) 678-773-2794

If you need a small chiller for the still, I have both 115/1/60 and 230/1/60.

Welcome and good luck!

I have a few clients in SD, helped them out with their cooling systems. Just talked to one from years ago, time flies!

That's right.

To Tango: Looking at the tubes endwise, larger one outside the smaller one, the distance between inner tube radius and outer tube radius,

Too much gap between inner and outer. I have a few suppliers I recommend- They're here in the group. I use them matched to one of my Virga Hybrid Glycol Coolers- saves on overall HP and doubles in the winter replacing the need for chiller HP in the winter. Depends on where you are, a one or two fan unit will do it.

If you need a Mash cooler, I can send you literature on the Virga System. Just finished up a large distillery in SC and installing smaller ones in SF and NC using the Virga Mash Coolers for mash and additional cooling in winter along with chiller for stills/fermenters Energy saving

Chiller systems in stock, boiler 10 weeks. Some Factory-Reman chillers available as well. Regards, Mike 678-773-2794

Mike, I have complete cooling systems available. If you need boiler, that too. Some chillers in stock, 230 or 460/3/60. Regards, Mike

Fine tuning literature on my Virga Mash Cooling System- now I have to wait for photos of a large installation in SC. Looking at some other wrinkles on heat recovery, too. Found a bunch of 230 v chillers one of my vendors got in before WuHan.

I guess there is a rush on whiskey like toilet paper?? Everyone is hibernating! I do have some 115V chillers I might be able fill need for these "babies", but still are pricey at around $4,000.

Just curious, what is Polish Rye?

Scott, I supply consulting and energy efficient cooling systems for distilleries nationwide so if your clients need some consulting on the cooling/heating side equipment. Give me a shout if you need anything on that end for your clients needing budgets on that end of the operations. Mike Gronski, MG Thermal Consulting 678-773-2794

I have supplied cooling to TN distillers and have some systems that are compact and easily installed. If you get in a bind on that end, I do have some small reconditioned systems available. Mike 678-773-2794

Hey, good to see you! I have been quoting some cooling systems in the NW US, W CAN and I'll look you up! We may gave some mutual clients. Picture here is one of the high performance hybrid coolers I use on mash cooling and stills as well.

Just down the road NE of Atlanta. I have cooling equipment spattered around TN and if you ever have cooling issues as you "grow", give me a call. Good luck! Mike 678-773-2794

Ya-this is the offseason for Bills chat until the draft- the poor Sabres keep shooting themselves in the foot (skate?).

Just about anyone here on the forums can give you the skinny on transfer pumps- I stick to the cooling side equipment (glycol pumps for instance).
