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 BOILER

The boiler is the most important part of any distillation pot still. Boilers with two-piece furnace (tumblers) are manufactured with a mixer or a copper sieve.The brandy making tumbler type pot still consists of a furnace, with a mounted-on boiler, on top of which a lid is placed and fastened by a latch and a lug to the boiler. 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 placed into cups at the boiler and the cooler. A crank connected to the shaft transfers the rotation by gearing. A mixer is connected to the shaft. A copper sieve prevents burning of the mash during the distillation process. The mixer prevents the mash burning during the distillation process with simple and easy handling.The furnace consists of two parts. The bottom part has got a fuel feed door opening, and the upper part has got a flue gas exhaust on the upper opposite side.
*Due to the presence of high temperatures, we recommend refractory bricklaying of the furnace bottom part to extend the furnace service life.

CONDENSER – COOLING VESSEL

The cooler or condenser is a vessel made of galvanized sheet metal and filled with cool water, containing a copper condenser coil. The coil lower part exits the vessel and alcohol distillate drips through it. For complete alcohol distillate condensation, the cooling water temperature shall not exceed 25°C; the maximum temperature on the top surface of the water that is discharged from the vessel shall be 60°C. That is why it is necessary to control the temperature during the brandy distillation process and add cold water if required. Simultaneously, hot water shall flow out through the overflow tube (3) on the cooler upper edge. The cooler lower part is furnished with a stop valve (6), through which water is drained upon completed brandy making. The cooler has got a three-legged base (4). The cooler jacket (1) is made of galvanized sheet metal with the sheet thickness of 0.5 mm.

*** Due to the constant investment in product improvement, there may be a difference in the appearance of the cooler compared to picture on our web shop . The changes will not affect the functionality of the product.
