The fruit distilling pot still is a distillation assembly designed for home-made brandy making. Through the distillation process, an alcoholic distillate is obtained from the alcohol fermentation of fruit mash (plums, pears, apricots, grapes, etc.). The distillation pot still consists of a copper boiler to which heat is applied that enables vaporization of the alcohol, a cooler in which alcohol is condensed and a connecting tube that connects both of the vessels.
All the parts of the distillation pot still that get in contact with alcoholic distillate during the distillation process are made of pure copper. During the distillation process, copper binds i.e. neutralizes a large portion of the acid and other chemical impurities that are generated during fruit fermentation or distillation itself.
The small-size brandy distillation pot still consists of a furnace, with a mounted-on boiler, on top of which a lid is placed and fastened by a latch.The boiler is connected to a cooler by a connecting tube called a lyne arm. The cooler has a condenser coil with alcohol vapor passing through. The connecting tube is fixed by the means of the union joints to the boiler and the cooler .A crank connected to the horizontal shaft transfers the rotation to the vertical shaft by the gearing. A mixer is attached to the vertical shaft.
