Telluride

I need two more heat exhangers and to attach the mini steam generator and my steam stripper is done. I will not be selling these, not enough time in the day to build another, but im sure you can figure out whats going on when i post more pics. Its set up so you can strip on the grains, if you're not doing that you can get by with raschig rings. Abbott

I PM'd you, all take them all

PM sent, I will take them all

Baron, You are in washington state. How many federally illegal operations are going on in your state? Think Medical and Recreational Marijuana. Granted I do have my federal permit now, when I didn't, I wasn't concerned about distilling at home one bit, and I did get a letter like that back in the day, why was I not concerned? Telluride has population of 3,200 people. We have 5 Recreational Marijuana Dispensaries pulling in over a million in sales every year. Every single garage in my area has full Hydro set ups. The feds have way more to worry about than my little kitchen still. I am not condoning illegal home distilling at all, but if the feds came to Washington State I highly doubt you would be on their list of places to stop at.

I too am on the ISC wait list. From what I have heard from the cooperages themselves, is that there isn't a shortage in white oak trees, they just weren't able to get to them for several months due to a big rain year. They should be caught up in 6-9 months as long as they don't get blasted with rain again.

I can get my hands on the smaller barrels, but I would love to get larger barrels aging. If you have any that you are looking to get rid of, I will take them. Thanks!

Just wondering who people use for a cap seal strip sticker. Ours is .67" x 5.44" and says "Telluride 8750 Colorado" We are just putting it over the t-cork and down the sides of the bottle. We would prefer not to cut our own and am hoping someone can suggest a mfg for me. Thanks!

Sam, you should add still dragon to that list, they are pretty awesome and easy to work with, larry is top notch and there product is way better than anything else in that price range.

I used other business owners in my town, none of which were called or contacted.

I ran into the same problem with my county. They didn't have any interest with direct fired anything in our distillery, so with the exception of our tankless water heaters in a different room, I don't have fire, its all electric, originally we were set up to run direct fired mash tun and still. Looking back on it all, I wish I would have run a large steam boiler, which I might do down the road.

Just installed 2 x Rinnai R98lsing with commercial controller and ez connect, should get about 6-8 gallons a minute of 170ish degree water. The heaters were cheap, $1085 with free ship on build.com. Install isn't cheap, but contractors, plumbers and electricians never are. The heaters can hit 185, and they work at altitude.... we are at 8750 above sea level so that was important. I have an easy little steam generator(made from triclamp parts, level switch, solenoid valve, water heater and PID, also has a pop off valve and pressure gauge for safety reasons) for raising and holding mash temperature.

Applied Jan 29th, after several emails due to bond issues and affirming that our tasting room was separate from our bonded area, we finally got approved! Approved Today, May 20 DSP-CO-S-20028. Time to get my labels and state done! I couldn't have done it without this forum! Telluride Distilling Company -Abbott

Great name, i would work on your trademarks before bringing it up on an open forum tho, uspto search brings up nothing, so fork out that $275 and secure that name if thats what you have decided on!
