Alcohol distillation has long been used for medicinal, spiritual and cosmetic uses. The practice may have first emerged around 2000 BC in China, Egypt or Mesopotamia before spreading throughout medieval Europe with herb infused wines used as herbal medicine – which distillation advanced to new heights of potency. Distillation resembles heating up a soup: as […]

Liquor producers have found innovative ways to use what would otherwise end up as waste from distillation processes – whether through carbon dioxide recycling or using waste ethanol produced during distillation processes as fuel for their distillery businesses. Furthermore, with demand increasing exponentially for liquor products like beer and spirits distillerie owners see an opportunity […]

Alcohol distillation is the process by which fermented products, like beer, are transformed into higher proof spirits like whiskey, gin, or vodka. The initial materials required can vary depending on what kind of spirit is desired–whiskey typically uses beer as its base while grain or fruit-based alcohols may also be used as source materials for […]

Alcohol distillation is the process by which spirits are created from already fermented ingredients (like beer, wine or cider ) using heated steam or vapour, by isolating their compounds using different boiling points and pressure. A distiller can control this ratio to optimize quality control of their final product. Distillation steps generally concentrate certain flavour […]

Copper has long been used in distillation for its heat conducting properties and malleability; both properties make it easy to use in still construction and operation. Furthermore, copper’s corrosion-resistance makes it an excellent choice when building stills; yet its chemical composition makes copper an indispensable ingredient when producing spirits. Copper acts as a catalyst to […]
