  • Seeking Vendome, Carl, or Kothe Stills in the Range of 150-500 Gallons

    Posted by ryewater on November 1, 2014 at 4:53 pm

    We are in the market for a 250 gallon Vendome, Carl, or Kothe (would also consider a forsyth but im sure those are hard to come by). We would consider anything as small as 150 and as large as 500.

    Looking to purchase by february.

    Thanks

    They are ALL hard to come by. Used doesn’t necessarily mean cheaper. It may be quicker to order new then to wait for one of these brand stills to show up on the used market in that size. Most of the big boys are only 10-14 months out! Haha

    Good luck.

    Green Engineering (Italy) would be more than suitable.

    Do you know anyone who uses his products. Looks like hes just getting started which worries me a little.

    He’s been doing some consultation for me, and ill be buying some fermenters from him in just a bit. I like his mash tun design with 2 separate jackets for heating/cooling. Anyhow, if you have any questions, you should give him a call so he can answer them. He has equipment in service, and I’m sure can provide references. Also is an active member of this forum. He just doesn’t seem to be the type to self promote at every hat drop. Modest I think they call it. Dudes no dumbass, give him a call and you’ll see. Scrounge

    Fair enough, I will give him a call. Separate jackets is a good idea, a lot easier on the metal without the temperature fluctuations. Thanks for the recommendation.

    I could build you a fully copper still, but it would be a month or two outside that time frame.

    we have a 60 gallon still on display that is all copper, but that would be way too small for you.
