Thanks DAD!
We are building up 3 more iStills 100 NextGen. Heaters are tested and okay. Next week the columns will go on top and we'll test the whole units prior to them being shipped to customers.
Update: just got corrected on this messsage. This batch will be delivered factory outlet. We have three parties coming over from Scandinavia and the UK on September 26th. They come and collect it. We'll make a special day out of it, do a rum run, training, lunch, dinner, drinks. People drive over by car the day before and stay a day longer, taking the units to their distilleries right away. The really fun part is we'll also have visitors over from the USA and Scotland that want to run the bigger machines, so it will be a merry party for sure!
Regards, Odin.

I designed a new column cooler for our 2000 liter stills. Based on the shotgun principle. Here's a picture of one that's almost finished.

This, on the other hand, is me. Together with a new column I designed for distilling taste rich product. You can manually dial the column in from anything from 1 to 4 distillations, by just controlling the amount of reflux. Potstill column with benefits, so to speak ...
