Pot Still Distillation Plants

Listing ID #914544

We are offering pot still distillation plants,
malt is distilled twice - although a few distilleries may undertake a third distillation - in pot stills which resemble huge copper kettles. The spirit is driven off from the fermented liquid as a vapor and is then condensed back to a liquid. In the first distillation the fermented liquid, or wash, is put into the wash still. Which is heated either directly by fire or by steam-heated coils. At this stage the wash contains yeast, crude alcohol, some un-fermentable matter and the by-products of fermentation. During the process of boiling the wash, changes take place in its constituents which are vital to the flavor and character of the . As the wash boils, vapors pass up the neck of the still and then pass through a water-cooled condenser or a worm, a coiled copper pipe of decreasing diameter enclosed in a water jacket through which cold water circulates. This condenses the vapors and the resulting distillate, known as low wines, is collected for re- distilling. The liquor remaining in the wash still is known as pot ale or burnt ale and is usually treated and converted into distillers soluble for animal feed.
