Best Small-Scale Alcohol Distillation Setup
Start Distilling Your Own Liquor The core equipment needed to begin distilling liquor yourself includes a still and heat source – such as an electrical, gas or coal stove – along with a table for setting up your equipment. A cooler could also come in handy for keeping alcohol and hydrosols cool until bottling them up.
A still is a device designed to collect the vapor produced from a mash, an amalgamation of grains, yeast, sugar and water. It features a long column with packing filling that traps any trickledown of vapor; then distil it again to increase alcohol content in order to produce stronger products.
If you want to distill spirits yourself, purchasing a copper still is the perfect way of producing high-quality moonshine.
