Distillation is central to turning simple fermented wash into the complex spirits we enjoy today, transforming a simple fermented wash into sophisticated spirits we consume every day. Distillation heats the alcohol and other components within the mixture until those with lower boiling points evaporate, leaving behind water and higher-boiling-point substances (see diagram). When these vapors […]

Distillation of ethyl alcohol is the cornerstone of spirit production, so understanding this process is crucial to creating high-quality flavor extracts and extracts. Distillation begins with fermented beverages like beer, wine or hard cider as its foundation. From there, spirits like whiskey, gin, vodka or any number of other types can be further refined with […]

Distillation has been used in traditional cultures for millennia to transform liquid into vapor and then condense it back to liquid, leading to the creation of various alcoholic beverages we enjoy today. Alcohol distillation requires both expertise in ingredients preparation and apparatus design to guarantee high-quality production. Initial preparation involves turning base materials into a […]

Copper stills are often underestimated in alcohol distillation processes, yet their role cannot be understated. Copper has many physical characteristics that make it ideal for making stills; such as malleability, heat absorption and transference capabilities as well as heat transference efficiency. As an alcoholic liquid evaporates it passes over copper surfaces, where chemical reactions occur […]

Copper is an adaptable metal with many useful properties that help create quality spirits. It is highly conductive, providing for precise temperature control during distillation processes. Furthermore, copper features natural antimicrobial properties which recent studies have proven can significantly reduce germ spread – this explains why ancient Egypt and Rome copper artifacts remain so well […]
