Let me (Evan Moser, VP of Engineering) go over some of the features of our 300-gallon pot still. The main kettle is made of copper and stainless steel, which is essential for providing additional reflux and helping achieve the desired purity in our distilling products. The still is equipped with an agitation feature, making it versatile for both on-grain and off-grain distilling, which is beneficial for producing a variety of products in your distillery.
The still includes a tray set that further enhances purity, allowing for the production of different spirits such as rum, whiskey, GNS, vodka, or gin. The kettle, where the fermented mash is added, features agitation for on-grain mashing and is steam-heated for uniform heating to prevent scorching.
As the mash boils, the vapor rises into the helmet, which comes in various designs. From the helmet, the vapor moves into the tray set, which can achieve higher purity levels. You can perform a stripping run directly into the condenser or opt for a high-purity strip from the start using our standard tray set. These tray sets are available in copper, stainless steel, and glass, allowing visibility into the distillation process.
Further down the line is the condenser, where the alcohol vapor is condensed and collected. We also offer a botanical basket feature for gin production, which includes a hoist system to easily remove and reload the basket, eliminating the need to lift a heavy, saturated basket.
Safety is a priority in our designs, with pressure relief valves at the top and control systems that monitor for leaks and stop operations if necessary. Our stills come in various sizes to meet different needs, making them ideal for entry-level distillers or breweries looking to expand into distilling. This product offers the flexibility to create a wide range of spirit profiles.
