Our Stills
GENIUS LOCI - Spirit of the place.
The heart of our distillery- two hand made direct fired copper pot stills - designed by us, made by friends, and all with in 40miles of the distillery
Designing a still
We have often been asked how do you design a still, to which we normally say: how big is the door? Followed by what is the usual fermentation batch size, how is it going to be heated? In our case direct fired was a given, we then look to see what is achievable and how best to design it given the standard size sheets that copper comes in - a small change in diameter can save thousands is material costs!
Then work with a fabrication company who will entertain your ideas
Pretty much all of our mashing/fermentation equipment and tanks have been made and supplied by Elite Stainless Fabrications It made total sense for them to fabricate both or 1000L and 1800L direct fired copper pot stills, as well as our stainless steel vodka stills.
