Dehner Distillery

Only the approved TTB hydrometers 

I may have a snap 50 but remember thats not TTB approved.

The snap 50 is so far better than than the hydrometers. I bet Anton Paar does not get it approved because no one would buy there $35,000 desk top model.

The snap 50 Is the best Darn thing I ever bought. It is a massive time saver. The snap 40 is nice but the extra decimal is so super nice.

I have not read through this entire string of replies, so forgive me if it was already asked or stated... Since the tax reform was already signed in, and we don't file our excise taxes until January 15th, can we apply the new rates since we are actually paying in January?? Seems to me me, paying the bill after a new rate is set would be at the new rate. Any accountants or tax lawyers on here? Cheers!

 

What?

Your paying by the 15th for the last quarter.

Asking $100

Need to move them.

The Thing that makes me the most mad is..... by the time the TTB and everyone figures all of this out, it will be 6-8 months down the road, and 25%-35% of our 2 years will be gone.

I say ...

1. get a lawyer.

2. It is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

I am not saying break the law, I am saying to do what you think is right and document the heck out of everything.

Hello again, Here is a beast of a continuous still being born.

Dehner Distillery = CONTINIOUS STILL KINGS......

Thank You.

Hello, I am just touching base and letting everybody know we are quickly working through our projects.

Here is a 18" dia copper column with massive 18" SS flanges, 4 x 4" sight glasses and 4 x 2" LED ports.

MADE IN IOWA, USA

Enjoy.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! Great price for great product.

What would be an estimated cost of a continuous vodka column that would fit in a 12' tall space and could run 30 proof gallons in an 8 hr shift?   Not ready to spring for one yet, but that will be the next upgrade.  

Make 30 PG or run 30 PG? What are you "running". ELE or steam boiler?

loggerhead, totally.

I have used 

Loggerhead -WI

Grace Label - Des Moines, IA  contact Lori

ILS- KY contact Otto Knopp

all 3 are great companies to do business with. Any thing you could ever think of they can get it done.

I forgot to add we have made and can make multi column continuous stills, for a multitude of different products or different %of ABV.

 How well do your small continuous stills deal with solids? 

We Have 2 models. One for solids and one for clear spirits.

You are not suggesting to do a pot still even planning is to make flavored spirits like grappa, brandy , whisky, rum, etc ?

Thanks

What a great question. If you need to upgrade, upgrade to a simple continuous stripper and use your old pot still to finish the spirit. Don't get a massive pot still, continuous stills are so much faster and more efficient.

Just my thoughts.

We only have 12' and it makes a vodka column a challenge.  

bluefish_dist

We can do a split 20 plate vodka column, and make it fit in a 12' space.   We can split it into 3 columns, and put it under a 9' ceiling, no problem.

We can totally make a continuous still to work inside of 12'. Thats easy.

I am looking to buy more equipment, and hire lots more people.

I HAVE SEVERAL BARRELS FOR SALE. 53GALLON, I WILL STAND BEHIND THEM.

I really need the space. I am switching bottles and don't need these anymore.

515-559-4879

??? really .... I said finished bottled spirits, and yes it would work.

Another person said get a lawyer, I 100% agree.

Don't take any advice off these forums with out checking with proper people.

Take care:

If you lower your prices, your sales had better shoot through the roof. I don't plan on lowering my prices. That 100,000 pg is worth far to much.

So now we can transfer spirits in bottles? It looks that way.

Exactly. Read the section on "controlled groups." I also haven't read it in great detail, but it appears that the purpose is to prevent precisely the kinds of schemes Joe theorized about.

However, the idea of paying tax at the end of 2019 and moving product to unbonded storage may work.

Does anyone have a link that they could send?

Hello, 

The Federal Excise Tax will help use all out, no doubt.  Here are some things you want to think about. 

1. It is on the first 100,000 Proof gallons per DSP. I do contract bottling, each DSP is worth $1,080,000 if maxed out. I will be applying for another DSP to take advantage of this. I will be applying for more if I come close to maxing out my first 2 DSP's.

2. My bond for my DSP lets says is $80,000 @ $13.50 a proof gallon I could only have 5925 Proof gallons on hand at any time. But now $80,000 bond I can have 29,629 proof gallons on hand at any time. So for people that have no bond or a $20,000 they can have 7407 proof gallons.

3. If this is not made permanent by 2020. I highly suggest to have cash stock piled and remove as much finished product as you can to your unbounded area even if it a storage unit before the end of December 31, 2019 so you can pay the $2.70 a proof gallon.

4. This was made to help out the little guys, correct? Well I can tell you if I was Brown Forman, or Diago, or any of the big guys I would take full advantage of this new law. If I was them I would build an industrial park with 200, 10,000 sq ft bays. I would then have a main tank farm in the middle feeding each bay, or feed off a tanker truck outside. I would set up 3 bottling lines on skids. Each of the 200 bays would have there very own DSP. I would start with bay 1 and reach the 100,000 pg limit and start the next bay, meanwhile move the filling equipment to bay 4 and keep staging equipment until all 200 DSP's were used up. 200 DSP's is worth $216,000,000. To me that would seem like easy money.

I have made it my mission to help other distilleries out. I talk to people all over the country everyday. I offer my thoughts and suggestions with a grain of salt.

Take Care:
