Modular Alembic 40 L – Basic Electric

A copper pot still for gin, whisky and rum, made for fermented grain mash, wort, wine and molasses washes.

Modular alembics are built from separate copper modules (boiler, head, columns, condensers) joined with stainless steel tri-clamp fittings. You start with a basic still and add parts later: a gin basket, a rectifying column or extra plates. You never have to replace the whole unit.

Capacity and yield

• Boiler: 40 L
• Output: about 4–6 L per run at around 50% ABV from a 10% ferment
• Stronger washes give a proportionally higher yield

Construction

• 1.5 mm hand-hammered copper
• Stainless steel handles, fittings and clamps

Included

• Large 0–120 °C thermometer
• Alcoholmeter, 0–100% scale
• Stainless steel boiler stand
• Two 1.5″ auxiliary clamp ports on the boiler
• 2.5″ clamp port for an encapsulated electric heating element

Set up for electric heating through the 2.5″ port for an encapsulated heating element, which is convenient indoors and gives very even, controllable heat.
