How does one go about locating and purchasing a usable vintage/ antique copper still?

I have been scouring the Ebay UK and other European countries for weeks and nothing has come up. 

Please PM me if you have any gouge on the subject.

Thanks!

That is valuable information.  Thank you Silk City. 

Bump...anyone else have any advice?

I want to collaborate with a couple of the local breweries this fall in developing a some beer based products. Since we have several breweries here in the Yampa Valley, we have some choice as to what we use. I am thinking of doing a malt whiskey, a beer schnapps, and perhaps an akvavit with some local craft. 

I'll do some roto-vap and/or 3 gal distillations in the coming weeks, but I know there is a lot of experience here to tap into first. 

Anyone care to share their experience or direct me to some useful threads?

Thank you

Has the price of glass gone up? 

I had quotes for the Tennessee 750ml bottle in 2016 around $1.35-1.40/ unit. 

I have gotten a quote now for $1.67/unit. 

Am I missing something or is that just where we are now?

I realize this is an older post, but I am wondering if this set-up is still for sale?

We are doing away with plastic straws and are also looking for alternatives. 

One I saw recently was a pasta straw: https://www.pastastraws.org/

and this one...

We are going to see if one of our local Italian Restaurants can make the pasta straws. 

Not yet! 

We are looking for an East Coast based Brand Ambassador/Broker Representative that has experience working with The Navy Exchange/ PX - Class 6 Stores. 

Anyone know anyone in this realm? 

We are looking for a turnkey solution here. Interested in about 20 barrels per month of 2 year old bourbon. At this point we're looking at anywhere but MGP as a provider. 

We've built a few different styles now.  Our newest versions made of local Douglas fir. We get the wood from a local mill rough cut into 2x4s. Then we use a shaper to make cup and round-over edges on each of the staves. The bases, also doug fir, are cut to a double tongue and groove, fitted together then cut round. We use a similar v cut like the cruz on a traditional barrel for the joint between the staves and base. The hoops are made from 1/2" soft rolled steel rod rolled in a conduit roller and threaded at both ends. The whole thing is assembled squeezed and filled for swelling. Pic is of a couple unassembled vats. As a disclaimer, i need to note that we do use hardware to afix crossmembers on the bottom, but we use stainless and does not ever come into contact with liquid. 

I purchased 3 cypress fermenters that were used. Since i do a fair amount of woodworking i decided to tear them down and rebuild them. To my disappointment they were put together with nails and silicone. Not what i expected. Truth is (and i know from experience) these vessels if shouldn't need this. They should be able to hold liquid by swelling and pressure alone. Maybe the best part of this experience is that it pushed us to build our own. And now we've developed a really good way to make these ourselves made of wood and held together with nothing more than pressure. 

I am interested in the pallet scale. 

Attention Colorado Distillers,

We are in need of an attorney or consultant in Colorado that knows federal and state distillery laws really well. We are trying locate a person that can answer the questions and guide us in growing without having to pay for hours of research. There must be some kick ass attorney out there that is this person. Lastly, Dalkita does not have a lawyer on staff and did not have any answers (figured someone would likely suggest them). Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks everyone!

Where are people buying Juniper in bulk? I can't seem to find it in anything over a couple of pounds. 

Ironton,

Would you PM me a contact number for whiskey sisters? I've reached out on their online form but heard nothing back. Be nice if they had a telephone number to reach out directly.

Thanks,

Naven

To follow up here:

Might be able to spend more in order to get what we need with exacting features. 

Specifically I need a Mash Tun with the following.

We have t-shirts, sweatshirts, ball caps, beanies, shot glasses, flasks, and a couple other items for sale in our tasting room.

We're looking for other ideas.

What other items have you all had success with selling out of your distillery?
