Hey all, I'm currently working with a building owner to map out our space, water and power requirements. We are going to be using a Hoga Alembic still 1000L (264 gallons) and we don't think steam generator will be an option given the space and building layout. We are exploring other heating elements and wanted to get some expert advice from you fine folks on preferences/ pros-cons of inserted heating coil(s) vs. an industrial hot plate of sorts. We are also wandering what time of power input would be required for those as well as water usage rates (ie. how much to keep that condenser cool throughout a normal run)? Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Alex

Hi folks We've been looking at the heating options for a 400 litre Hoga still and are favouring the internal steam heated coil option. As far as steam generation goes, Fulton seem to have some good kit which is being used by a couple of other UK distillers in similar setups. However in the literature from Hoga, there is a suggestion that a 12KW sauna heater would work. At a third the price it looks like an option but I do have concerns over durability. Is anyone out there using a sauna or "non conventional" method of generating steam? If so what has been your experience. Thanks in advance Ben

Hello folks Ben from the soon to be established Puddingstone Distillery, the first small batch gin distillery in our region. Keen to jump on board this forum after meeting with some of you at the 2014 London Craft Distillers Expo. Looking at using a 400L HOGA pot still which appear to be pretty popular across the states. Would love to get feedback from anyone who is using them. Cheers

I'd like to know if anyone has experience working with the Hoga company of Spain? What did you think of the craftsmanship of their stills? How was their communication? Were delivery times met? They've provided some references who I've contacted directly. I'm just curious if anyone on here had an opinion. Thanks.
