  Craft Distillation

  Posted by larry r on December 11, 2024 at 7:14 pm

  Seeing some Artisan Distilling equipment for sale. They have been out of business for a while. Looking for opinions on the quality of their equipment. Risk with buying their used equipment, given the lack of support. Any other feedback on Artisan… TIA

  We’ve been running a 300 gallon still with columns that we bought new 5 years ago. Probably close to one of the last systems they shipped out. It arrived with a handful of pinhole leaks in the vapor path, which they were useless with addressing (assuming they knew they were going out of business anyway and said F it). Luckily we have the means of welding in house and it was easier for us to just deal with it than to deal with them. Other than that I would say it has been pretty solid for us. It sees 4 mashes, 4 strips, and a spirit run each week for the past 5 years.

  From some of the threads on here, it seems they went out of business for a reason.I always try to recommend clients pick up used equipment from current suppliers, that way if issues do arise you can reach out directly to them to have the issue resolved.

  That being said. If you are interested in sourcing some equipment, I work with a number of manufacturers both domestic and international to get the proper equipment for distilleries starting up or expanding.Let me know if I could be of service.
