Your perfect ally for artisanal distillation
The copper still is the ideal tool for those who wish to engage in traditional distillation. With this distiller, you can produce:
- Distillates from wine: cognac, armagnac, pisco, and brandy
- Grappa: from pomace (grape skins and seeds)
- Grape brandy: from grape must
- Calvados: from cider
- Rum and cachaça: from sugar cane
- Whisky, gin, and "white" spirits: from cereals
- Distillates from roots, starchy tubers, sugary substances, and various fruits
Why choose copper? The advantages of traditional construction
Our stills are entirely made of handcrafted copper, offering the best quality at the most competitive price. Copper is the ideal choice for several reasons:
- Beneficial chemical reaction: The sulfur compounds present in the pomace chemically bond with copper, improving the quality of the distillate
- Excellent thermal conduction: Copper evenly distributes heat across the entire surface, preventing burning of the distilling mass. It withstands high temperatures (melts at 1083°C) and thermal shocks perfectly
- Maximum resistance: Copper is not afraid of 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 houses the pomace), a hermetic cap, and a tube called "swan neck". Vapors pass through this tube until they reach a coil, where they are cooled by water and condense again, transforming into distillate.
In the traditional discontinuous method, a predetermined amount of pomace and water (usually 50%) is loaded into the boiler and slowly heated. During heating, the temperature becomes crucial:
- Initial phase: Vapors of the most volatile substances (methanol, 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 flavor to the distillate
- Final phase (above 100°C): The "tail" is not dangerous to health but contains impurities and amyl oil with unpleasant taste and odor
Simple and unrestricted infusions
If you prefer a simpler approach, you can use already bottled grappa or alcohol for liqueurs and 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 a built-in thermometer for temperature measurement.
First use: It is essential to perform a cleaning distillation to eliminate impurities and unwanted substances that settle on the copper during periods of inactivity.
Capacity: 3.00 liters
