    Question for Joe @Dehner Distillery ... When sourcing these natural flavors, do all your suppliers give you a Flavor Ingredient Data sheet? Wondering if this is the case or that the GRAS statements cover this when some do not state what their "trade secret" parts of the mix are. We do not want to use artificials either, and have not used purchased flavors yet, but what the producers provide and what the TTB is asking for always do not match :-) (not that the TTB work is ever easy)

    From all the flavor house that I use they will give you the FIDS sheet for the TTB for when you are doing formulation. It is very standard practice. I only use all natural flavors also.

    Take care.

  2. I just read this. I am just letting you know I use these tanks also. These tanks are rated at a maximum of X pounds per gallon. I think it is something like 8.5 lb per gallon. So if you are fermenting grain in one of these you are going way over the working limit. Rum is not normally a problem.

    They are great for holding finished liquids but not for holding liquids with grains.

    They do make a Blue colored tank that has a much higher density rating, but they are hard to find in the smaller volumes.

    Just letting you know.

    Just use a IBC tote, they are cheap and will work just fine.

    Take care.

  3. We are very excited to be able to offer custom continuous stills in any size and flow rate.

    Remember if you are upgrading your equipment.... DON'T DO POT stills. Do continuous. 

    We are really looking forward to our new turn key small units.

    Thanks Denher. I tried the misting test on my home trials, but the sample was so small it was hard to tell whether it had clouded or not! Oh the joys of a proper full-size system. Thanks to all the very kind advice given on this superb forum, I'm now jacking in the filter option and going 'back to the still'.

    my next challenge is arranging a still with the appropriate heating solution that doesn't blow my budget sky-high. I'm actually based in the U.K. (sorry i know this is the ADI, but I'm getting some great help here) and exploring steam heating as an option is proving extremely difficult as well as way to expensive for my budget ($70000 incl taxes to order the basic setup of a 400kg/hr generator!). Going to look back at electric options. Also prefer not using gas/oil to heat, doesn't feel ecologically sensible.

    You can build your own. Or get an oil bath or water bath, or build your own steam heater.

  5. As your running keep a glass full of water and another empty glass, take the empty glass and get about 50-80ml of distillate and add the same amount of water. If it goes cloudy STOP collecting in that vessel. IT IS TAILS, the oils will diemulsify (come out of solution) at a lower proof.

     

    If you have to chill filter on a small scale you will hate life. And the extra hours you spend doing that will just eat up your profit and you day.

  6. Sonnyk, does not know what they are talking about. Sorry Sonnyk.

    You can do everything from the data driver.

    If you have problems just give me a call. 515-559-4879 I'll be glad to help.

  7. Thank you very much for all of the replies.

    FYI- I have a older continuous still I made 5 years ago that I operate, that is all self contained and 10 foot tall that will process 1 gpm @160 proof max. It was 14' at one time and would do over 190 proof. But I am doing all new designs so get ready for something much better.

    As I said before, I am still building the big tall units. I am looking to build some easy turn key units. I can't wait to show you them.

     

  8. Did you know we build continuous stills? We have several types and we build them custom to what works best for the customer.

    We computer model each and every unit for maximum performance. We tune each one and run it on a computer model before starting the first weld.

    We have a couple new turn key models coming out that will be skid mount with steam generator (or no steam generator) for simple use.

    We are currently completing our line of single pass continuous stills, no more just stripping, now do just one and done! Plus the best thing is these will sell for a very very inexpensive price tag as compared to what is on the market now, not to mention that are through put of GPM is 5 times more than what is out on the market.

    I will be posting pics soon of my current continuous still build right here in IOWA. We are building one of the largest continuous stills for any micro distillery in North America, maybe the world. Capable of operating at just over 30 gallons per minute, tuned at 17 gpm. Able to distill down 9000 gallons in about 8-9 hours. Big 6" sight glasses (2 per tray 180degress apart) so you can look right thought it, complete with LED lights, and go pro cameras. Also, a custom 550g pot still. Stay tuned.

  9. Thank you very much with the info so far. 

    We are still going to build bigger Continuous stills (thats our niche), but I was looking to make a line of continuous stills for some of the smaller distilleries out there. The small distilleries that don't have a steam boiler. 

  10. Hello, I am looking to produce a new continuous still line for the average distiller. This equipment is normally very tall. I would like to know what your "CLEAR" height is inside your distillery where you would put a still. 

    We are thinking that the normal is 12' but please advise. We can always build in a kit to make it 10' with a kit to make it 12' or 14'......

    The taller we can make it the better the performance. 

    You can text or call if you have questions.
