  1. And here is a photo of the Pot still and the high efficiency double column still in action at the Claremont Distillery in New Jersey.
  2. Thanks to a last minute problem with my building, I have two stills for sale. This listing is for the high efficiency double column still that is sold by Grand Teton Vodka Distillers. It is the same equipment that they use to produce their award winning Potato Vodka. It lists for $22,900 and usually takes 12 weeks to produce and deliver. This still is at the Grand Teton Distillery in Driggs , Idaho and available for immediate shipment. The photo below is of the same equipment, installed at the Claremont distillery in Fairfield New Jersey, along with the 500 Gallon Hybrid Pot still, which is listed separately. This is the link to the equipment listing: http://www.distillerydepot.com/equipment-type/high-efficiency-column-still/ The still is unused and available for immediate installation. This is a great option to establish a new distillery, or to add to your existing capacity. Check the other listings for the 500 gallon hybrid pot still. The stills can be sold separately, or as a set. Offers considered. Call Doug McElroy (248-790-8773) for questions or additional information.
  3. Here is some additional information from Grand Teton about the 500 gallon short packed column stripping/whiskey still. This is version 2 of our very own design (has our full list of of upgrades from our very first tester model installed and used every day @ Grand Teton Distillery) Spherical 500 gallon steam jacketed pot with 220v direct drive dual paddle agitation arm. Copper onion topper 1.5 M (4'11") copper column - stainless steel mesh packed . plenty of copper in this design to insure vapor/copper contact to minimize sulfur compounds Short all stainless steel dephlegmator cap 9/16" water lines with 1.5" triclamp connection - Small size to insure height limited installs are a breeze/ more than enough surface area to insure proper reflux to keep your packing saturated for compressed ethanol condensate production. 3 inch diameter lyne arm with 64" center to center throw- large diameter to keep vapor speed low- shorter throw to keep from lossing valuable floor space in your distillery 3" triclamp connections allow you to place the condenser anywhere in a 360 degree arc around the still. Large 20 inch diameter shotgun style condenser (1 inch water lines) to insure quick cooling for stripping runs with fast output. 60-110 L/H (15-29 GPH) *depending on cooling availability. 1.5" triclamp outlet so you can install the custom parrot that fits your needs. 14 foot total height assembled. We do suggest the still/condenser are mounted on a small 3-4" platform to ease drain connections both for condensate return lines on steam and spent wash drain valve. Our 45 degree pleated stainless steel mesh packing has a great heat exchange potential per foot without the extremely turbulent heat exchange experienced with a plated/bubble cap system. We believe that allows more flavors,oils - (Congeners) to make their way into your final product for bold taste that people look for in a craft product.

  5. One of the items that I have had some difficulty locating is a source for portable beverage grade explosion proof pumps. Do any of my esteemed colleagues have any suggestions? Thanks. Doug McElroy Thumb Knuckle Distillery (Still in formation)
  6. I am planning a facility in Michigan an have put together a spreadsheet to walk from the wholesale price to minimum shelf price. Basically, a $30.00 minimum shelf price will result in a wholesale price to the distiller of $15.97. Don't forget about the delivery charge from the distributor, or the partial refund from the state. These can add a bunch to your cost structure. Also, don't forget about the energy requirement to distill your juice. It can be a little hard to figure without some experience, but you should plug in something for it because it will be a significant part of your cost base. Shoot me an email at douglasmcelroy1@yahoo.com and I will be glad to share the calculation.
