Your Perfect Ally for Artisan Distillation
The copper still is the ideal tool for those who wish to engage in traditional distillation. With this distiller, you can produce:
- Wine distillates: cognac, armagnac, pisco, and brandy
- Grappa: from grape pomace (skins and seeds)
- Grape brandy: from grape must
- Calvados: from cider
- Rum and cachaça: from sugarcane
- Whiskey, gin, and "white" spirits: from grains
- Distillates from roots, starchy tubers, sugary substances, and various fruits
Why Choose Copper? The Advantages of Traditional Construction
Our stills are entirely handcrafted from copper, offering the best quality at the most competitive price. Copper is the ideal choice for several reasons:
- Beneficial chemical reaction: Sulfur compounds present in the pomace chemically bind with copper, improving the quality of the distillate
- Excellent thermal conduction: Copper distributes heat evenly across the surface, preventing burning of the distilling mass. It perfectly withstands high temperatures (melts at 1083°C) and thermal shocks
- Maximum resistance: Copper is resistant to corrosion and withstands the aggression of alcoholic vapors and acids from pomace and fruit
- Pure taste: It does not impart any metallic taste and helps neutralize unpleasant odors and flavors
How the Distillation Process Works
The still consists of a boiler (which holds the pomace), a hermetic cap, and a tube called the "swan neck." Vapors pass through this tube until they reach a coil, where they are water-cooled and condense again, transforming into distillate.
In the traditional batch method, the boiler is loaded with a predetermined amount of pomace and water (usually 50%) and slowly heated. During heating, temperature becomes crucial:
- Initial phase: Vapors of the most volatile substances (methyl alcohol, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate) develop. This phase is called the "head" and must be discarded immediately because it is extremely toxic. The methanol contained can cause severe damage to the optic nerve, blindness, or death even in small quantities
- Main phase (78.4°C - 100°C): This is the "heart" of the grappa, composed of ethyl alcohol and aromatic volatile substances that give aroma and taste to the distillate
- Final phase (over 100°C): The "tail" is not dangerous to health but contains impurities and amyl oil with unpleasant taste and odor
Simple Infusions Without Restrictions
If you prefer a simpler approach, you can use bottled grappa or liquor alcohol to create excellent infusions like nocino, honey grappa, blueberry grappa, and much more, without any legal limitations.
Important Information
Attention: Stills require constant attention during use as they do not have an integrated thermometer for temperature measurement.
First use: It is essential to perform an initial cleaning distillation to remove impurities and unwanted substances that deposit on the copper during periods of inactivity.
Capacity: 3.00 liters
