How do I start distilling alcohol? When you start distilling spirits, you will first need to make a mash. You can make by combining turbo yeast with tap water and sugar in a fermentation vessel. There are fermentation buckets with and without airlock. For our turbo yeast an airlock is not necessary and our 30-litre fermentation vessel will be sufficient. See the instructions on the turbo yeast packaging for the correct ratios. For example, you can add fruit such as apples, pears, prunes, grapes, berries, etc. to the for a delicious fruit liqueur. If you want to use a lot of fruit, a thicker fruit puree/pulp might develop. In that case the hobby still for distlling fruit is most suitable. Also view our oak wooden barrels for storing and ageing your homemade alcoholic drink. For making rum, coffee liqueur, whiskey, amaretto, liqueur43, gin, and other (fruit) liqueurs, you can also add an essence to your home-brewed drink. These can be found under accessories. For more information, please see our frequently asked questions. How much drink is left after the distillation? This depends on a number of things, including the process of distillation, the alcohol percentage in the mash and the alcohol percentage in the final product. Roughly speaking, we apply the rule that you are left with about 10% to 15% of the mash as an end product. You fill a still up to a maximum of 80% with mash. So you can fill a 20 litre still with a maximum of 16 litres of mash. Of this, you will be left with about 2 litre of finished product (liqueur, whiskey, gin, etc.). Why are stills made of copper? Copper is a good heat conductor, which helps the mash to heat up evenly. The length of the distilling process effects the taste. Over the years it has been shown that copper, in combination with the specific shape in which the still kettles are made, benefits the taste. We therefore only sell copper kettles that are manufactured in Europe and not stainless-steel pot stills, which often come from China. Legislation applies to distilling spirits. We are certified and we have a permit from customs to be allowed to sell these stills. Distilling water, essential oils, etc. is allowed in most countries. Distilling alcohol is only allowed in most European countries with an excise permit. When purchasing one of these appliances, or if you want to distil alcohol, you must therefore comply with the applicable legislation in your country.
