Through this tube, the vapors reach a water-cooled coil, where they condense and return to liquid state, generating your distillate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe science of distillation: temperatures and phases\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional (discontinuous) distillation is based on the boiling point of ethyl alcohol: 78.4°C. Here’s how it proceeds:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInitial phase - The \"head\" (to be discarded):\u003c\/em\u003e During the initial heating, vapors of the most volatile substances such as methyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, and ethyl acetate develop. These condense with a characteristic unpleasant odor and must be eliminated immediately as they contain methanol, extremely toxic and dangerous even in small amounts (can cause damage to the optic nerve, blindness, or death).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCentral phase - The \"heart\" of the grappa:\u003c\/em\u003e Between 78.4°C and 100°C, the true heart of the distillate is collected: pure ethyl alcohol with volatile substances that give genuine aroma and flavor. This is the valuable fraction to preserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinal phase - The \"tail\":\u003c\/em\u003e Above 100°C, the \"tail\" appears, rich in impurities and fusel oils with often unpleasant taste and odor. Although not dangerous to health, it is better to discard it for superior quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEase of use for infusions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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 much more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttention:\u003c\/strong\u003e The still does not have a built-in thermometer, therefore it requires constant attention and manual temperature control during the process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial treatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e It is essential to perform a first cleaning distillation to remove impurities and unwanted substances that naturally deposit in copper after long periods of inactivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 liters\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"0","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57076211843397,"sku":"00014820","price":236.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/5114\/7333\/files\/10660.jpg?v=1772543412","url":"https:\/\/www.viviincampagna.com\/en-eu\/products\/copper-distiller-20-liters-hourglass","provider":"viviincampagna","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
