This is our functional still using a refining process. Rectification (or refining) is the process of purifying the alcohol vapours in order to remove water and other undesirable items. The distillate will have a higher percentage of alcohol with one distillation process.
In this type of still the wash (wine etc) is placed in the main vessel (which will be heated by a electric plate included) and in the other two smaller recipients. As the wine is heated, vapours are generated and these travel to the second and third pot (the vapours are released at the bottom of each pot through a copper tube).
The repeated condensation and contact with the liquid help clean the rising vapour as less volatile undesirable material and water vapours fall back. This will increase the percentage of purity.

Celebrating the launch of our new double boiler alembic 16L, we called it SPAGYRIA, a tribute to all who since imemorial times our dedicated to the hermetic science, the ancient art of alchemy.
Treatment: A first cleaning distillation is essential to clean impurities and other unwanted substances. These substances, which are inherent to copper, are deposited after the still has not been in use for a relatively long period of time.
Detailed information will be available to client after purchase is made.
