Hydraulic Alembic 300 L for Solids

The hydraulic alembic is a modern take on the traditional copper pot still. Its helmet is water-cooled: cold water runs through a jacket around the head, so part of the vapour condenses before it reaches the coil and falls back into the boiler. That built-in reflux works like a small rectifier, giving a cleaner, more aromatic spirit and, according to the manufacturer, up to 20% better distillation performance than a classic alembic of the same size.

This version is set up for solid raw material: fruit, pomace, bagasse, grains and thick mashes.
