I am selling my whole set-up an accessories. I went through CA ABC and TTB, but my county in CA wanted 80k in upgrades to my facility just for a recreational 1 barrel operation. SO, I am putting this out there to see if there is any interest. The package includes: 1 handcrafted copper 60 gallon boiler with built in coil chiller to control temperature from boiler to fermenter 1 250l Marchisio fermenter with tri-clamp and tasting valves. Manway in front and underneath for cleaning. Stainless Steel. This was actually imported from Italy. 1 handcrafted copper 30 gallon Blue Ridge Still - column is unpacked. 1 Stainless Steel filter for system built by trident 2 handcrafted copper thiefs by trident 1 handcrafted rustic bar made of Oak and pine with authentic accessories (does not come with stools in pics) 1 handcrafted copper Master Parot 1 antique pure copper water heater - to be used as a pre-heater for the boiler A few miscellaneous items - copper ladels, copper funnel, rare whiskey bottle, rare steam gauge - for decoration I've got pictures attached. I have about 14k into everything, so that is my asking price. I am open to offers, but this is a package deal and you have to arrange for transportation (I am in the Placerville, CA area). Everything is BRAND NEW - the copper equipment is crated and the fermenter is wrapped. since I did not get my permit, I am selling this as ART, not as Manufacturing Equipment. It will be your responsibility to comply with any rules and regs. Let me know your thoughts... Kind Regards, Alan

Hello! Can anyone recommend or throw out some ideas for an equipment list for 1bbl distillery. I am considering starting an experimental DSP and am having a tough time finding a system that is geared toward a "nano" distillery. I am finding Blichmann equipment designed for all grain brewing, but I want to be sure that my setup will meet code for the county/state/TTB... Any and all ideas are welcome and appreciated!!! Kind Regards, Alan

Can anyone recommend a reputable bonding company for a DSP bond in California? Thanks!!!

Good Afternoon! I know this is a shot in the dark and the odds are "slim to none", but is there anyone who is willing to share their Business Plan for a small Whiskey Distillation operation with me? Bill has been kind enough to provide me with the spreadsheets, which are fantastic... it is just daunting to think of all the writing I need to do! I am not looking to copy someones plan verbatim... just looking for some language and a framework to get started. Or, does anyone know of a freelancer that can help with the writing? So, if there is someone out there that is willing to give a "newbie" an extra nudge in the right direction, any and all feedback, templates, etc. are sincerely appreciated. I am enthusiastic to have become a member of the ADI (today) and look forward to sharing intellectual capital with you... Kind Regards, Alan
