Our Browin modular still in the basic convex version is a new and improved set with a convex vessel lid.
This is a true basic set that you can expand as you wish.
- Easy to use - the basic convex modular still set is ideal even for beginners who are just starting out with distilling.
- A must-have for every home - a still has a wide range of uses, including producing distilled water, various alcoholic beverages and essential oils.
- Includes a multifunctional 18 L pot - you can use the vessel not only for distilling, but also for cooking large quantities of food, brewing beer wort or preparing large batches of preserves.
- Suitable for all types of mashes and washes - versatile enough for distilling washes made from a variety of ingredients.
- Ready to expand - you can expand the basic convex distillation set, even to advanced Aabratek-type models.
The modular distillation system was designed to meet the needs of the most demanding customers. Thanks to its standardised connections and innovative system components, you can use it as the basis for configuring different types of stills.
A basic starter set with room for expansion.
The set includes:
• Vessel - made of stainless steel.
Construction features:
- capacity - 18 L
- 2 carrying handles
- 5 snap-lock clamps
- an opening in the vessel wall for the thermometer probe
- rigid domed lid with an opening for mounting the column
- base suitable for gas, electric and ceramic cooktops.
The vessel's new conical lid allows the wash or mash to foam up without the risk of contaminating the column or its packing. The domed shape also increases the stability of the entire column, even when using taller stills, which in turn helps to make the distillation process more stable. The new lid design is inspired by classic swan-neck alembics, adding an attractive visual detail.
Relocating the thermometer opening in the vessel gives you greater control over the temperature of the substance being heated inside the pot. This is useful not only during distillation, but also when mashing grain, pasteurising or simply heating food.
• Still module - 250 mm Column Connector - made of stainless steel.
The connector can serve as a catalytic filter, allowing you to use packing that improves the purity of the resulting distillate. For the best results, use copper prismatic springs. Copper adsorbs volatile sulphur compounds, which give distillates the hydrogen sulphide odour of rotten eggs and negatively affect their flavour. The connector holds approximately 450 ml of packing, available to purchase separately.
Construction features:
- module height 250 mm
- module tube outside diameter - 48 mm
- connector fitted with threaded connections
- suitable for use with packing
• Still module - Head with Spiral Condenser - made of stainless steel.
The condenser, mounted at the top of the distillation column, increases the heat-exchange surface area. A precision valve for regulating the cooling-water flow provides faster cooling while reducing water consumption during the process.
Installed in a simple pot-still system, the head will produce excellent spirits, including flavoured, fruit and grain spirits.
Construction features:
- cooling section height 280 mm
- tube outside diameter - 48 mm
- water connection - 1/8" threaded female socket for a hose connector/valve
- port for an electronic thermometer
The set also includes:
- two electronic thermometers mounted in a frame, allowing you to monitor the process directly and continuously.
- 5 m PVC hose for connecting the water supply, fitted with a garden quick connector for easy connection to a tap.
- 1 m silicone hose for collecting the distillate, safe for contact with alcohol.
- 1/8-inch ball valve
- straight threaded connector
- seals - 2 pcs.
- set of assembly screws and nuts - 8 pcs.
- polyethylene column insulation sleeve
- Teflon tape
- instruction manual
We recommend purchasing separately:
- stainless steel supports for the packing
- prismatic springs
- alcoholmeter
- distillation parrot
Set height without thermometer: approx. 92.5 cm
Cooling-water consumption: approx. 22 L per hour
Distillation time: approx. 1 L per hour
