  1. Morning, curious as to the asking price with all items listed.... Much appreciated.
  2. Siebel Institute was an excellent course, but it is only offered once a year. The Siebel classes are more theory technical, less hands on which I feel is important if you want to go commercial. I would then follow up with a class like 6&20's or SIPS, can't beat the hands on portion. My.02 cents Take care- Mitty
  3. Good advice Roger. The big 5 market as referred to above is continually expanding. To the extent that distilleries are concentrating on the local market, building the brand and expanding as needed, where needed. Passion is a must, but with every distillery you talk to currently or forecasting an expansion, most start with the big 5. Good luck with your endeavors. Take care, Mitty
  4. Check out the Speidel 32 gallon fermenters on More Beer. Great fermentor on a budget-$150. Stout is great, I have a mash tun from them. Good luck with everything.
  5. Steve, appreciate the help. I was thinking that way as well, but was hoping to see if anyone had a similiar setup to compare with before I went that route. I'll shoot Swede an email and keep ya updated. Thanks again, Mitty
  6. Good evening, The main goal of the original post was to find someone who might be running a large revenoor (250 gallon or so) for some insight into the rather finicky machine....... Running an internal steam coil with a 4" column & condenser, a 250 gallon kettle. Main issues is maintaining a constant temp, once again, very finicky. Any insight appreciated, 1 on 1 email is great, but no automation what so ever on the setup. Happy Holidays All, Mitty
  7. Thanks Mash. I was hoping to get some production rates, gallons per hour, ways to keep it continuous flow & not overheat/crash cool in the column etc., or it just might be a slow machine with no automation what so ever. Another goal was to see what products & typical proofs others have, but I started out vague to get the conversation going, not sure who has a revenoor anymore. Take care, Mitty
  8. Admin- Please delete 2 of 3 of these posts, you pick. Timed out every time I tried to post, yet took 3 times. Thanks, Mitty
  9. Good evening everyone, Quick heads up to my situation, I am currently working at a small distillery utilizing a 250 gallon Revenoor steam coiled still. It has been going well with a primary focus on Brandies/ Whisk(e)y's. Any how, looking for any insight as to how to better control production. It is a finicky little thing, but does kicks out a great little product. I'm interested if anyone on ADI is running something similiar, whether it be electric, steam, or direct fire. Take care, Mitty
  10. Stillman, PM'd ya. Interested if you still have the setup. Take care, Mitty
  11. Good morning everyone, I would like to introduce myself. I am on the verge of stepping into the world of distilling. I have attended ADI conferences, recent graduate of Siebel's 5 day Craft distilling & technology course, as well as a few distilling workshops. I have begun taking small business classes locally in preparation for the future which is currently unknown, not sure yet if I will start a distillery down the line or be a part of it the industry as an employee, either way I need in. I have met some great people with flourishing distilleries, I would like to be a part of the industry. I am looking for an internship/ possible employment/ free employment. I cannot afford to give up the day job, but I have time to dedicate, a day or two a week minimum. Everyone needs a start, an introduction, this is an avenue I am pursuing. I am not in the wine & spirits industry currently, so I am somewhat green to a commercial process, I do have a still at home. But what I lack in experience, my work ethic/ background (Construction, Management, Training, Public Service) will benefit someone who gives me a chance. I have scoured this forum for a little over a year & have realized the open & honesty of everyone contributing is to help one another. Any assistance my way is greatly appreciated & thank you everyone, take care, Mitty Redmitty78@hotmail.com
  12. Good morning Gordon. I too am from California and just like Cinewalt, I am in the preliminary stages in Northern California. I think it would be great to get together and discuss the guild. Keep us posted as to when, flying in Monday mid day. Thanks!
  13. Congrats on the sale! A great deal for whoever got it.
  14. Just dropping in to say Hey everyone........ Been lurking on this site for awhile now with future goals of operating a distillery one day. The knowledge, experience, and openness among the group is outstanding, something you don't see as much these days, but something I hope to become part of one day. Looking forward to the ADI conference & introducing myself (I'll be the token ginger kid asking all the questions). Take care folks, Mitty
  15. Thanks Steve, yes a busy fella. Brian- shot ya an email back. Thanks & Take care, Mitty
  16. Good morning group Is this still available? Asking price? Can you contact me at Redmitty78@hotmail.com Thanks
