Table Top Still and Still Accesories

 Very similar stills are used in New Zealand for making alcohol. It's legal to  distil small amounts of alcohol there, and they've developed some interesting products.

This one's for the distillation of water and will produce a bottle of distilled product in a couple of hours.

It runs on electricity, is very efficient and silent and is aircooled. No need for running water.

Distilled water is perfect for adding to your liquers and for blending drinks

There's more about the still and it's many uses here

The Table Top Still from www.thebrewshopuk.com

Those in the know say to use a triple still yeast to make a wash for the still.

Still includes a smart pack of carbon and smart rings

The still works more efficiently and smoother if you add a packet of smart rings to the still with the wash. If you've already bought a still off us give us shout, and we'll send you a free packet of smart rings!!!

It takes about three hours to produce a bottle of distillate.

Pur away the first teaspoon ful as it tastes of the metal coil, then take off just 75cl of distillate.

This will be at about 60%, if you make it up to a litre with cold water it gives you about 40%.

You can pull off up to a litre of distillate but after the first 75cl the taste is not as good!

Table Top Still

This is the complete still, the picture shows the white plastic pot which holds the carbon filter.The clear plastic container is also supplied and is for collecting the distillate.It's about the size of a glass demijohn and is very compact and easy to use.This  low temperature still is also used in New Zealand for making alcohol. But must not be used in the UK for this purpose.
alcohydro

Alcohol Hydrometer

Glass hydrometer that will give you an indication of the alcohol content on distilled products.

Scale goes from 0 to 100%

It seems to be fairly accurate especially on anything above 40%!
smartcarbon

Smart Carbon

Spare carbon filters for the still.  Two filters in the pack.
smartcarbon

Smart Pad

A copper pad that you put in the still and it replicates the effect of distilling in a traditional copper still.

It's said to impart better flavours by removing unwanted metals. They certainly look as if they've done something when you take them out.

Home Distillation Handbook-

 

Purely for the sake of interest! We know none of our customers would ever distil alcohol! The book deals with making alcohol from the turbo yeast to distillation.

 

Raschig Rings

A litre bag of Raschig rings.

For use in reflux stills, they allow for smaller columns. These are about 6mm and high quality ceramic. They are designed specifically for use in stills and are not to be confused with the inferior products you can obtain from aquarium suppliers.

They should be cleaned periodically to prevent unwanted odours, you can do this by putting them in the dishwasher.

The bag weighs just over a Kg.

Raschig Saddles

A 1 Kg bag of Raschig saddles. An alternative to the rings.

About a litre in volume.

Like the rings these are made for use in stills and are a high quality product.

 

 

Pocket Alcohol Hydrometer

A small 15cm hydrometer for measuring the alcoholic strength of the distilled product.

Less fragile than it's bigger cousin! Also a nice size to keep in your pocket!

Smart Rings

These are ceramic rings. Know as Raschig rings

You add them direct to the still with the wash before you switch it on.

They give a smoother boil and improve efficiency of the still. We strongly recommend them.

You just wash them and you can re use them.

They are now supplied with the still, if you bought a still and recieved no rings mail us and we'll send you a free pack.
