Welcome to Liberty Pole Spirits! Join Rob as he takes you on a tour of their state-of-the-art Deutsche mash house/hot side, fermentation tanks, and distilling equipment. In this video, you’ll get an inside look at their mashing process, showcasing top-quality equipment from Deutsche. Their Mash Cooker, sourced from Deutsche, is a true distilling workhorse. With steam sparging, cooling coils, and glycol jackets, it ensures precise temperature control for optimal mashing. The system is designed for efficiency, allowing them to easily fill/utilize up to four fermenters. This system was also designed with expansion in mind, as the deck has space to accommodate even more fermenters.
The Mash House includes the following unique and custom features:
- Automated material handling and milling
- Hot and cold process water reclamation and cooling
- Modular platform design, built to accept future mixing fermenters
- Steam, Glycol, Process, and CIP lines
- Centralized Siemens control interface
One of the highlights of our setup is the hard piping underneath, facilitating seamless operations throughout the brew day. With a dedicated diverter panel, they can effortlessly manage mass transfers and CIP processes, streamlining the workflow. Up on the platfrom, the mash house is equipped with a Siemens HMI offers complete control over the spirit production process. From monitoring fermenters to adjusting settings on pumps, motors, and heating/cooling is at their fingertips for maximum precision. Deutsche is a leader in automated processing and offers a customized automation solution for their craft distilling operation.

Hey guys, wanted to show you the system, so coming over I’ll show you the brewing side. This beautiful tank here is all from Deutche, and this one right here is our mash cooker with steam forging at the bottom, a cooling coil around the side, and glycol jackets for fermenters. It’s really easy to move the mash around quickly. We have space for four more fermenters here. One of our favorite things about this system is all the hard piping underneath, making it quick and easy for us throughout the brew day. We have piping coming down from the cooker that we can divert through a diverter panel for all our mass transfers and CIP processes, making everything quick and easy. Up here on the brew deck, we have a station where we can control everything from an HMI. Currently, we have an active rye whiskey ferment that’s about 24 hours old, and everything’s fermenting well. Except for one, which we filled today with bourbon whiskey. From the top, you can see the cooling coil in the cooker, which works efficiently for heat transfer. We take cold water from the bottom of our CLT pump it through the coil, recapture it in our HLT to help with utilities. And here’s a nice HMI that controls everything.
