Traditional Alembic 1L
With:
Dome with thermometer and arm
Pot
Condenser bucket
This product is handmade. Good quality and thick copper is used in the production of the still.
In this still, alcoholic beverages, essential oils and floral waters can be distilled.
The condensation container is equipped with a water inlet pipe located at the bottom of the condensation container and an outlet pipe at the top through which the water exits.
A cleaning distillation must be carried out before use.
Being handmade, there might be some slight slack between the separate pieces. Each lid is specially made to fit into each pot. To seal off any eventual vapour leaks a very simple technique may be used – rye flour and water. Simply mix the rye flour with some water to make wet soft dough in a small container. Then with your fingers simply push and rub this mixture into the joints of all the items.
When assembling your pot still, insert the swan neck into the pot with gentle pressure. Also connect the swan neck to the condenser. When vapours start to rise, should a leak occur simply add some dough to a leaking area.
To loosen the separate parts of the still for cleaning once distillation is complete, simply give a direct blow with the heel of your palm upwards to the rim of the separate pieces. The rye dough comes off easily.
To separate the tubes simply pull these apart carefully (where there are no brass connectors).
Vapours will always search for an easy way out – through the piping – so there is no great need to apply thick quantities of the flour mixture. An alternative method is the use of silicon tape or any other sealing tape that will sustain high temperatures. Take care not to tape the alembic joints excessively as the objective is to seal off escaping vapours and allow the alembic hood to pop off should an obstruction in the piping cause excessive pressure build up.

Ma commande d'un premier Alambic 1 L était trop petit. Le Marchand à accepté l'échange pour un de 5 L -bien sur ce qui est normal, moyennant le renvoi du 1 L à mes frais et contre la différence tarifaire via Paypal et le port gratuit. Je viens de recevoir l'Alambic de 5 L qui correspond absolument à mon besoin. Il est parfait, très beau et était super bien emballé ! Je recommande ce Marchand au TOP.
