Small Distilling Units
These completely functional small distilling units come on a wood base and may include a candle with burner, alcohol burner or electric plate, depending the on model. Sizes range from 0,7 to 2,5 Litres and are ideal for those who would like to experiment the art of distillation. They are very practical due to their very compact size and may be used for distilling wines, for making liqueurs and for distilling floral waters. Some models come with a copper sieve basket. Different fruits, anise, wood, spices, herbs etc, are placed in this basket to add flavour to the distillate. (Complete distilling units with alcohol burner or electric plate are totally functional on wood base. Units with tea light burner should be removed from wood base and placed on an appropriate heat source)
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.

This alembic still is the smallest functional model (0,7 Litres) we presently carry where its distilling process is considered as a simple distillation. The unit comes complete with a wood base for decorative purposes. If you intend to use the pot to distill, unit should be placed on a stove burner or any other suitable heating source as supplied tea light serves merely for decorative purposes only. Very reasonable in relation to price, excellent apparatus to offer to someone who wishes to experiment with the art of distilling. Complete Set Includes: - copper pot - copper swan neck lid (concave shape) - copper water recipient with condensing coil - water inlet and outlet tubing on condensing recipient - small tea light - copper cup - wood base This model is also available with an alcohol burner please see item 4168

This is identical to the previous model (4167) with the exception that it is equipped with a copper wick alcohol burner and unit comes with a rapid locking/unlocking system. You may distill directly on the wood base with the alcohol burner instead of placing it on a stove burner. Ideal to place anywhere in you home due to its graceful design. Why not make a fresh batch of eau-de-vie while entertaining friends. Distillation will take approximately half an hour depending on what is being distilled. Complete Set Includes: - copper pot - copper swan neck lid (concave shape) - rapid brass locking/unlocking attachment between swan neck lid and condensing recipient - copper water recipient with condensing coil - water inlet and outlet tubing on condensing recipient - copper wick alcohol lamp - copper cup - wood base

 This is our smallest functional still using a refining process. Rectification (or refining) is the process of purifying the alcohol vapours in order to remove water and other undesirable items. The distillate will have a higher percentage of alcohol with one distillation process. In this type of still liquid (wine etc) is placed in the main vessel (which will be heated) and in the other two smaller recipients. As the wine is heated, vapours are generated and these travel to the second and third pot (the vapours are released at the bottom of each pot through a copper tube). The repeated condensation and contact with the liquid help clean the rising vapour as less volatile undesirable material and water vapours fall back. This will increase the percentage of purity. Complete Set Includes: - copper pot - copper lid (concave shape) - copper refining recipients - brass locking/unlocking attachments - copper water recipient with condensing coil - water inlet and outlet tubing on condensing recipient - copper wick alcohol lamp - copper cup - wood base

 This long column unit functions as a normal alembic still to obtain eau-de-vie and other alcoholic spirits or hydrolytes (floral water). It may also be used to add different flavours to already distilled eau-de-vie by using the copper sieve basket, which can be inserted in the column. By running a batch of eau-de-vie through this alembic you may add aroma and different flavourings. A few oak wood chips and you will obtain the colouring and aroma of an aged eau-de-vie, or zest it up with different fruits, berries, herbs or spices. The process is very simple. Place the eau-de-vie in the copper pot and the desired material in the copper sieve basket. This is then inserted in the copper lid (vapour chamber). The basket is held in place with the aid of two clamps. Assemble the alembic and proceed with distillation. You may also obtain essential oils in this alembic through steam distillation. Unlike other alembic models, the flowers petal or other organic material, which is inserted in the basket, does not come into direct contact with the water. Unit should be placed on a stove burner or any other suitable heating source as supplied tea light serves merely for decorative purposes only. Complete Set Includes:

 This is our smallest functional alquitar (0,7 Litres). The Alquitar still pot differs from the alembic in design, taking up less space as the lid also acts as the condensing recipient; but its distilling process is considered as the same by means of a simple distillation. More information about this still can be found on our Alquitar stills category page. The unit comes complete with a wood base for decorative purposes. If intentions are to function with this still, unit should be placed on a stove burner or any other suitable heating device as supplied tea light serves merely for decorative purposes only. A very graceful and exquisite piece that will blend in with any type of decor. An excellent item to offer to someone who wishes to experiment the art of distilling. Complete Set Includes: - copper pot - copper lid which functions both as vapour chamber and as the condensing recipient. - Water inlet and outlet tubing on condensing recipient - small tea light - copper cup - wood base For a completely functional distilling unit on a wood base, please see item 4186
