The 5-liter mushroom-condenser copper still for grappa, also known as an alembic still for grappa, features a direct-cooling system. It is made entirely of copper and includes a thermometer to read the internal boiler temperature, allowing you to separate the heads, tails, and hearts of your distillate. This grappa alembic is handcrafted by Italian master artisans and has a 1.03 mm base thickness.
It is suitable for the production of spirits (grappa, brandy, whisky, fruit distillates, etc.). It can also be used for essential oils (perfumes, liqueurs, and remedies) and for high-proof alcohol such as vodka.
From the options menu you can customize your alembic by adding a copper mesh to prevent pomace from contacting the bottom of the boiler, or a filter column required for steam distillation (all accessories are copper).
