The 0.5 L Hourglass Copper Distiller is the ideal tool for those who wish to engage in the fascinating art of home distillation. Perfect for distilling wine (cognac, armagnac, pisco, brandy), pomace (grappa), grape must (eau-de-vie), cider (calvados), rum, whiskey, gin, and much more.
Why choose copper?
- Product purity: Sulfur compounds present in pomace chemically bind with copper, eliminating unwanted flavors and helping to neutralize unpleasant odors. Copper does not impart any metallic taste to the distillate;
- Superior thermal conductivity: Copper is an excellent conductor of heat that withstands high temperatures (melts at 1083°C). The even distribution of heat across the entire surface prevents burning of the mass to be distilled, ensuring consistent quality results;
- Resistance and durability: Resistant to corrosion and attacks from alcoholic vapors, acids from pomace and fruit. It does not deform or break even when subjected to significant temperature fluctuations;
- Artisanal craftsmanship: Completely handmade in copper to guarantee you the best quality at the best price.
How the distiller works
The alembic consists of a boiler that holds the material to be distilled, an airtight cap with an outlet tube (the characteristic "swan neck"), a water-cooled coil where vapors condense and return to liquid, generating the final distillate.
The traditional distillation process
In the classic batch method, a mixture of pomace and water (generally 50%) is inserted and slowly heated. During heating, depending on the temperature reached, three phases are obtained:
- The "head" (below 78.4°C): Contains methanol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate - very toxic substances that must be discarded immediately. Methanol can cause severe vision problems up to blindness or be fatal;
- The "heart" (78.4°C - 100°C): The precious part! Composed of pure ethyl alcohol and volatile substances that give aroma and taste to the distillate. This is the fraction to collect;
- The "tail" (above 100°C): Not dangerous to health but rich in impurities and amyl oils with an unpleasant taste, to be discarded.
Infusions: the simple and legal alternative
If you prefer a simpler approach without legal restrictions, you can create extraordinary infusions starting from bottled grappa or alcohol for liqueurs: nocino, honey grappa, blueberry grappa, and many others.
Important warnings
- The distiller does not have a thermometer: requires constant attention and manual control during use;
- Recommended first cleaning distillation: Essential to eliminate impurities and unwanted substances that naturally deposit on copper after long periods of inactivity.
Capacity: 0.50 L
