Hi Sammie, We can help you out. We are in IL, down by St. Louis. We currently contract manufacture and package a few liqueur products, one of which won double gold and best of category at San Francisco. I'd be happy to chat sometime. Please feel free to give me a ring at six 18 eight30 6356 if you would like. Cheers! Adam

Hey Thatch, We run grain in and raw wheat instead of malted so our process is quite a bit different. I thought I might be able to share a bit of insight though. Wheat starch gels from about 125-155F. The enzymes from the malting process are going to want to live below 155. I'd say mashing around 150-152 would be ideal. For our raw wheat, we run 155. Staying under 155 will help you from getting tooo sticky but I would recommend adding a little Viscoferm or C2K to that mash to make sure viscosity doesn't become too big of a deal. Not sure how fine your grist is but the wheat is going to be a chore. Without the husk on the grain, wheat malt being highly friable, and the large starchy endosperm, you are probably going to need a dump truck or so of rice hulls. Seriously, likelihood of a stuck sparge is a real thing, as you know. I would say you are going to want a minimum of 10+%...probably more in that 20-ish range. Again, I don't have any specific experience trying to lauter wheat malt....just my best guess. If you don't run a ton of head space in your fermenters, FermCap or whatever the antifoam of your choice is would not be a bad idea...maybe not as big of a deal since you won't be grain in but we've walked into wheat fermenters that partied a little too hard overnight and spent the ensuing hours with hoses, squeegees, and bleach! haha. I know the info isn't 1:1 but hopefully there will be something that helps in my rambling. Cheers! Adam

Look at this freaking arsenal...impressive man! For what it's worth, I think big pot stills can run you broke if you don't have enough sales to leverage it across. We ran a 12" continuous column and its utility inputs were 1/3 the $/PG than our 500 gal pot still was and our consumers tend to think the column made better whiskey. It takes a lot of $$$$ just to heat 1000 gal up from 80 degrees to boil. Just my 0.02.

Nice! Let me know how that goes! We are at the limit of our auger right now and a vac would be awesome.

I've got an older hammer mill with a bin that will hold about 8000 lb of milled grain. A bunch of screens, blower discharge, pipe connecting to bin, and bin has dust outlet. Hammer mill needs a motor. I'll make you a hell of a deal on it all...I want it out of my way. $1,000 for all of it.

I know this is a long shot, but any chance this is still available?

Sure thing. Here is the listing for it. It was originally built in the 1920s in Belgium and used in grain genever production. It was upgraded with a massive stainless agitation shaft in the early 2000s. It's beefy! It came with an equipment package we purchased out of Belgium but we do not have use for it or an extra 28" diameter continuous column that came with the lot.

I've got a historic 850 gallon copper mash tun for sale if you are interested. Thanks, Adam

Standard of fill is definitely the issue. Largest container allowable is a 1.75L. Generally, kegs are either built on site at accounts in soda style kegs or there is some sort of patented mechanism/process to get alcohol into a sanke-d style keg after everything has been run through the 3-tier system. The problem with the soda style keg is that it requires draft line conversion, cleaning (who does it and how often) and the account can honestly put whatever the heck they want in it. We take the second approach with a methodology we developed. One thing you do need to be careful about is state law on who can and cannot make a cocktail. In one state we distribute in, the supplier and "build" the keg at the account under the account's supervision. In another state we distribute in, the account must do everything themselves. Kegged cocktails are a bit of a gray area right now but make sure to do your due diligence before you start and understand all of your state-by-state restrictions and guidelines.

Hi there. Yes it is

I've got about 40,000 with a 28mm cap finish, as well as black and silver caps. If you need some, I can definitely let a few pallets go.

Price dropped to $25k or best offer. Very nice piece for the money. Super high quality, thick copper and cheaper than folks are selling imported stainless mash tuns for.

We have seen similar results. I think it has to do with gelatinization temps. I believe corn starts to gel at 155F but doesn't really get going until 185-190. Being closer to instantaneous gelatinization increases mash viscosity as soon as that corn starts to hit the hot water and probably keeps quite a few of the solids from reaching the bottom. i could certainly be wrong but that is the way my brain has processed it and my $0.02. Cheers! Adam

Price dropped to $150,000 OR BEST OFFER.

Sure thing. Please feel free to give me a call at your convenience 6188306356. Cheers! Adam

Heck yes! I’d love to show you around. And I need to make a trip up there and check out that big expansion you guys did!

We took out more than a pot. 😜

Haha. This all came out of the same place in Belgium. It was an old grain genever distillery that has been running since the early 1900s. They made a ton of grain whiskey and grain genever. We are putting the majority of the equipment up here at our place but have a few pieces that we just don't need like the mash tun and this column. I figured it could do someone else much more good than sitting in the back of a storage shed collecting dust! As for actually finding it...I think I was about to the end of google at 3am while drinking bourbon! haha.

For sale is a 28" diameter continuous still for a heck of a deal. Need approx 18.5' of head room to install. Stripping section has 4 large bubble caps per section which offer better turndown than sieve plates and is made from stainless. Wines section has 5 rectification bubble cap plates and is made from copper. Bottoms float tank to regulate bottoms level is included. No condensers, beer heater, or doubler included. $150,000 OR BEST OFFER as it sits now. We'd also consider an equity stake in lieu of a portion of the cash to purchase for the right opportunity. Still originally ran grain whiskey and was custom manufactured in Belgium in 1945. FOB Columbia, IL 62236. Email adam d0t stumpf @t stumpysspirits d0t com for more info.

We are selling a horizontal copper mash tun that was built in the 1920s and last operated in 2014. We purchased it with an equipment package but do not have a use for it. Steam Heated Large horizontal mixer driven by chain and sprocket. Jack shaft to drive agitator not shown in pictures but is included, along with mounting blocks/bearings and the connecting chain. External waterfall cooler w/ collection pan on bottom. $25,000 OBO FOB Columbia, IL 62236 I can email more pics upon request.

Ah. No prob at all. Maybe check the probrewer.com classifieds??? Cheers!

I have a vintage solid copper mash tun available that is right around 3200 liters/850 gallons. It does not have a false bottom but has a big beefy agitator. Not shown in this picture is the jackshaft and chain that drive the big sprocket on the agitator...those are included. This came out of a grain jenever distillery in Belgium that was using it to mash 100% malt for its process. $30,000 USD Firm Price. FOB Columbia, IL 62236.

Lowered price to $3,000

Selling the following equipment: Bearcat Hammer Mill with a variety of screens for corn, wheat, rye, and malt. Blower attached to side of mill for conveying grain, and piping for connecting to bin Grist case / bin that holds about 8,000 pounds of milled grain Dust collector to pull air/dust off top of grist case as grain is going in. All-in-all it's a pretty tidy operation that we ran indoors. Depending on your grain and screen selection, it will run about 2,500 pounds per hour on a fine grind. Motor not included with grain mill (was driven by 15hp) and one dust collector bag has a hole. The filter bags are only about $17 on amazon. $3,000. FOB Columbia, Illinois 62236
