  1. Just enough to get to your target pH. Probably 20-30% of your total liquid volume.
  2. Dang. Sorry, don't have that one on the floor.
  3. Which bottle are you looking for? We have some on the floor. Cheers! Adam
  4. Definitely sulfur. Winery probably put a ton of SO2 to it in an effort to preserve it. Redistilling doesn't quite get rid of it. Your best bet is to dilute it, aerate the heck out of it, and redisitill it through a still with plenty of copper. Hope this helps. Cheers! Adam
  5. This still is sold. Thank you all for the interest.
  6. Take the reflux returns off the pot, run the reflux through a little cooler down into a sump then pump the reflux back into the pot. Make sure there is a check valve at the base of each column and on the pressure side of the pump. We had the same issue and fixed it this way. That still is actually for sale in the peer-to-peer board if you want to take a look at the piping...or what you can see of it from the pic anyway. Hope this helps. Cheers! Adam
  7. Awesome. Is that the model D? I've heard mixed reviews on the drum. We have a vibratory feeder now and that thing will make you go deaf so I don't think it can be much louder than that!
  8. Anyone have an automated corker they are looking to get rid of? Prefer something that can mount to an existing conveyor and can handle 19mm and 22.5mm shank. Thanks!
  9. That looks like a lot like our still but with an extra plate Run your dephleg at 68C and make your cut when your top plate is at 92C. I think you'll be happy.
  10. We've got a continuous for sale that will do more work than a 1500 gal in a day at a fraction of the cost. Also have a 500 gal pot for sale. Ads listed in peer-to-peer for sale. Please feel free to dm for more info. Cheers! Adam
  11. Selling our 500 gallon still to make room for some larger equipment. We currently only finish vodka and gin on this still. We used to run grain-in whiskey on it but stopped once we installed our continuous column. Included are: 500 gallon pot still w/ whiskey helmet 4 plate column with dephlegmator 15 plate column with dephlegmator Gin basket Agitator 3 90 gallon storage tanks Massive Condenser Thermostatic valves to control the dephlegs Cooled reflux sump and pump This still makes some incredible spirits and we run it weekly. The column drains have been decoupled from the pot and plumbed to the cooled reflux sump. The sump then pumps the reflux back into the pot. This ensures absolutely no column puking and back pressure issues. $50,000 FOB Columbia, Illinois. Please email adam.stumpf attt stumpysspirits.com for more info. Like our column for sale, this will be available spring of 2021 so you are more than welcome to come check it out in action. Thanks! Adam
  12. We've actually even made a few tweaks since the video was taken. It's even a bit more consistent and efficient than when that video was taken. Our only reason for parting ways with this still is because we need more capacity. We have purchased a vintage 28" column and will be adapting it to the same design principal that this still runs on. Any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks!
  13. We are selling our custom-designed continuous column still. This thing is an absolute monster and makes incredibly flavorful whiskey. It will crank out 35,000 proof gallons per year running 1 shift per day, 5 days per week. THIS COLUMN HAS THE ABILITY TO FRACTION OFF HEADS, HEARTS, AND TAILS AND DO SO EFFECTIVELY. It has multiple heat exchangers that allow the user to enter specified setpoints to control cut points on a continuous basis and has an adjustable heads output flow rate so you cane control your heads draw very precisely. The still has a lot of flexibility built in and will generally run 135-160 proof, depending on how you have it set. Also included is a 250 gallon spirit safe and auxiliary product cooler. We won't be ready to part ways with this ole girl until spring 2021 so there is plenty of time to spend some time around the still while it's running to get familiar and train. Our only reason for selling is because we are adding a larger column in its place. $80,000 FOB Columbia, IL 62236. Please contact adam.stumpf attt stumpysspirits.com for more info. Thanks!
  14. It's a 7.5 HP 3 phase motor. This particular model k is a 9x12. Just based on a quick google search, it looks like it should do 5,000 pounds per hour with the rolls set closely together.
  15. Price reduced to $4k OBO. This mill is worth close to double the asking price...just need to get it out of the way as our warehouse it full! Please feel free to email adam dot stumpf at stumpysspirits dot com for more info.
  16. Mill was installed in a feed mill in 1999 but only ran for about a year before shutting down and being put in storage. Let me see if I can grab a couple pics of it today.
  17. I have a used Roskamp Model K single pair roller mill that is in great condition. Mill has a magnetic scalper to protect the rolls and a 7.5HP 3 phase motor. Corrugations are in good shape. It came as part of an equipment lot that I purchased and I do not need it. $4,000 OBO. FOB Columbia, IL
  18. After blending everything, try some powdered bentonite to settle (ideally in a small conical) and then rack off the top of the sediment after a week or so. Filter what you rack off through a 1 micron depth filter prior to sending through your final filter on the bottling line.
  19. What kind of roller mill do you have? I might be interested in trading. We are looking to make a switch from hammer to roller. Our hammer mill will do that kind of capacity without a problem. I have a boatload of screens for it as well. Only reason for us switching is that we mash some recipes without enzymes and I worry a bit about heat when we mill our malt. If interested, please feel free to shoot me an email to adam dot stumpf at StumpysSpirits dot com
  20. We run the "beer" pH meter from Hannah Instruments. Has worked awesome. A bit on the pricey side but works well.
  21. Definitely looks like an infection. Brewstilla was spot on...most likely lacto from your malt, depending at what temp you added it. If you were over 160F for your malt addition, it's probably a sanitation somewhere else in your system...mash pump, hoses, mash cooler piping, etc. Will probably taste fine but you'll probably find a lower yield with more heads and tails.
  22. The operations I'm referencing have their everyday production teams utilizing Hoochware...no fancy compliance position whatsoever. Again, not bashing WS, whatsoever; just saying there are other options that are scaleable.
  23. Hi Matt, We picked up an old automated olive oil bottling line that had been idle a couple years. Converted it over to bar-top and 28mm tamper proof and it's running like a champ! I believe it was initially put together by Criveller California. Sorry, I don't have much experience with any other out-of-the-box lines. Cheers! Adam
  24. I'm not certain that's the case. I know of PROMINENT distilleries in KY that probably run more volume in a month than all of us on this thread combined do in a year that are very happy with software options other than WS. Just saying that it's not the end all, be all if you want to run serious volume.
