Which distiller to choose for the home: working mechanism, capacity, material, equipment

Thanks to five selection criteria, you can buy an excellent distiller for use at home:

1. Volume, power of the device and dimensions. Such parameters are dependent on the desired frequency of persecution of moonshine. Key rule: ceteris paribus, price, weight and dimensions are determined by the performance of the unit.
2. Material base: aluminum, stainless steel and copper.
3. Design features depend on the situation, which can contribute to both simplifying and complicating the process of distilling moonshine. A unit with separate modules is easier to clean. It also greatly simplifies maintenance with the presence of drainage taps on the cube and the steam tank.
4. Checking product documents from the supplier.
5. Functional orientation, which depends on several varieties of moonshine units:

• Classical, which consists of a pair of components fastened together - a cube distilling a liquid and a coil.
• A unit with a dry steam tank, which differs from the traditional one, by the presence of an auxiliary module - a dry steam tank. This element is presented in the format of an empty tank of a given volume, which is connected from above by tubes to a coil and a cubic vessel.

• Alambika is a copper-type distiller in which the top is created in the form of a dome. Used to create cognac or whiskey.
• Dash column - a moonshine installation in which a modular cooling system is embodied in the vertical format tubes with a top mounted refrigeration component that separates the liquid into sections at the moment distillation. Used for the preparation of sugar moonshine, chachi, cognac, which retains aroma and taste for a long time.
• A distillation column, which has the shape of a cylindrical vessel, equipped with heat-exchange mechanisms inside that divide the liquid into sections with an approximate boiling point.

The mechanism of operation of the distiller

The classic apparatus for persecuting moonshine works according to the principle: the mash in the cube is heated to a temperature at which alcohol can boil, then the steam is allowed to cool in the coil. The result is a moonshine liquid with a maximum strength of 80 degrees in the stream.

REFERENCE. During distillation, it will not be possible to get the purest alcohol, since there are other impurities in the drink. This circumstance has a positive effect on the constancy of taste and smell, but is badly reflected in the final the result, since along with “good” additives harmful components penetrate into moonshine, akin to acetone and fusel oils.

Sukhoparnik produces moonshine at the maximum boiling point of ethyl alcohol than most dangerous elements. Penetrating harmful additives into the apparatus, they condense there, but again they are not able to boil, because the thermal energy is spent on the evaporation of alcohol.

Capacity

During the distillation, each unit is allowed to fill up to 80% of the total volume. In particular, per liter of 15 liters is allowed to distill 12 liters of beer. This volume is not so small, because if you divide the mash into two distillation processes, it will be more a practical option than acquiring one huge device, for example, distill moonshine no more than two times in Week.

Material of boiling vessel, housing and jug for distillate

The best materials for the distillation of moonshine are 2 metals that do not react with ethyl - stainless steel and copper. The stainless material base pleases the owner with a long life and reliability of the installation, which will require minimal maintenance. Copper, in turn, is able to quickly warm up and cool down, which significantly reduces the loss of time for distillation.

Equipment

A traditional distiller consists of several interconnected elements - a cube for distillation of a liquid and a coil. The unit with a dry steam container contains an empty tank of a certain volume, which is attached on top of the pipes to the coil and cube.

Now you can easily decide which device to choose for the home, because you are familiar with their main features and selection options.
