Dehner Distillery Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 I tried to upload another file but it won't let me.... I'll try later..
roberto Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Dear Dehner, That is a thing on beauty. I wish you the best. Made in America, right on. Robert.
Skaalvenn Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Looks familiar! I'm just a couple days away from firing it up for the first time--I'm excited. Joe did a great job and was pretty easy to work with. I might not be the easiest customer in the world as I requested a few changes along the way but I had a good experience and am so far very happy with the purchase.
Dehner Distillery Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Here is another one just built for Michigan. It has to be cleaned and polished, but it is basically done. 235 gallon, oil jacketed still, with 8" 20plate column, with bypass at the 5th plate. 8" dephlegmator, and massive 6" condenser, 3" bottom drain.
Dehner Distillery Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Here is the inside of a 6" condenser and a 8" dephlegmator as it is being assembled.
Dehner Distillery Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Here is several unit we have built over the past year. Made in iowa, MADE IN USA is in full swing!
Dehner Distillery Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Here is a still that went to Canada. In this pic it is being rough fit for the steam piping and and exhaust vent pipe through the skirt. This unit is a self contained steam jacket/steam boiler. Its slang term would be a "poor mans steam jacket".
Dehner Distillery Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Here is a simple custom bracket we made. Why not have a little fun when building equipment.
Skaalvenn Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Here is a simple custom bracket we made. Why not have a little fun when building equipment. bracket 1.jpg That was the coolest thing and I've gotten more compliments on that small detail than anything else in the entire distillery!
Dehner Distillery Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 We have built individual parts, and pieces for people all over the place. And I have been built several control panels and fermentation monitoring panels. Over all We have done a whole lot and we are glad to help out where we can. Take Care.
Wilder Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 PM me the price of the unit, and individual components if you don't mind. I would also like production numbers. I have two twelve inch diameter 40 inch tubes. I may want you to do something custom. Thanks Wilder
Dehner Distillery Posted May 26, 2015 Author Posted May 26, 2015 I have some standard parts but a lot of customers want some of the items custom. So a 160 gallon oil jacketed still for person may be X, but for another it might be X+/- . It just all depends. Give us a ring and we will help the best we can. 515-559-4879 joseph@dehnerdistillery.com
Svej Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 What is the heat source for the oil jackets? Electric? Thanks.
Dehner Distillery Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 yes, There are ELE elements that are in the oil. We use only Mobil Therm 43 heating oil.
Dehner Distillery Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 You should be able to get from any major oil distributor. NOT AUTO ZONE, but a proper distributor. They will have to order it in 55 gallon drums.
MG Thermal Consulting Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Joe, What temp do you hold the oil at? Mike
Skaalvenn Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Joe, What temp do you hold the oil at? Mike Not Joe, but I've got one of his stills. I don't like to go above about 320 degrees otherwise I get excessive crud baking to the inside of the still. I could probably run it harder, but then it would be harder to keep it clean. At 320 it's easy enough to scrub off with a wand & SS scrubbing pad.
Dehner Distillery Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 Joe, What temp do you hold the oil at? Mike For my small continuous still I run it at 400f. With no problems. I am using a clean mash. Skaalvenn is correct in saying - that even with steam and agitation at some point there will be a trade off.
Branded Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Here is another one just built for Michigan.

Dehner Distillery Posted August 12, 2015 Author Posted August 12, 2015 sent a PM. HEY HEY HEY........ continuous still pics coming very SOON. We have one going to Canada. ...... stay tuned...... SAME BAT TIME, SAME BAT CHANNEL!!!!
Dehner Distillery Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 just done! 12'6" tall continuous still going to Canada. Wayward distillery
trinacria Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Very nice Joe! What's the throughput and cost on that bad boy?
Dehner Distillery Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 pump, still, everything , 100%. The cost is $18,000 Thought put depends on the content of alcohol in the solution to be distilled. Normal processing is up to about 1.5 gpm. The pump is capable of a little over 10 gallons a minute. I have a continuous still just like this one in one of our distilleries, it is a much shorter column, and has a 25-35 % smaller boiler. It runs about .75-1 gpm, on our rum wash. Food for thought. Thanks! Take Care.
