Alembics - Water Sealing System This model was developed from a beer fermentation unit that we designed some years ago. We then applied this design to our stills, crafting a unique alembic using a practical water sealing technique to facilitate the distiller's task. This modern unit maintains the sensual and graceful curves of the most traditional stills. What is unique about this still is that it uses water to seal off the alembic. The pot is built with two separate walls on the top side creating a chamber or corridor where the water is placed. The inner wall is higher than the exterior one, and this is one of the essential elements of the water sealing system, as this wall must touch the lid to aid in sealing off all vapours. The complete system, independent of its size must be mounted on a perfectly level surface to avoid water spilling from the water corridor when in use. This alembic still comes equipped with an interior copper sieve tray and a copper-refining lentil with a brass locking system to facilitate mounting and dismounting. Larger sizes, 50 litres up come with a metal support and axle to facilitate the discarding of the used batch. 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
