  iStill 500 and 2000

  Posted by thebottle on January 28, 2020 at 5:05 pm

  I’m curious if anyone has experience with the iStill 500 and/or 2000 automated stills?

  If so, please provide a review, pros and cons.

  Especially with respect to efficiency, various spirits made, ease of learning to use the automation etc…

  Thanks

  Hey, old post, but wanted to see if you got the information you were looking for. I’ve worked with iStill for about four years at a few different companies. Happy to talk shop.

  Hi there, I never got a ping that anyone replied to this. Before lock down I was looking into upgrading our still and so I was interested in an iStill. Then, as we all know, the pandemic hit and we had bigger things to worry about,

  Luckily we have managed and may be in position to upgrade again and so any info on these stills would be great.

  Hi, do you know if its possible to make potato vodka using an istill 5000 l potstill  for stripping and a 2000 l hybrid for finishing – or is it a wrong way to go?

  Hello Martens V, 

  I already answered one of your posts, I am representing Genio distilling equipment and as you are from Europe I think I can help you out with the option for the production of potato vodka. Reach me at pl@g-still.com.

  Hi,

   

  We use the I-still 2000  it produces  fantastic Rums, Gin and Whiskey, it is  by all means a remarkable piece of equipment, although we have not produced any potato-based spirits, I’m confident that there has been some experimentation in this area, I would suggest that you contact I-still directly, the team in the Netherlands has lots of unbiased answers.
