RyeWater Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ive been looking for a cheap still to do some formula testing on and was wondering if a 10 gallon alembic still like this has any real use. IE if i took the same wash and put it in this and made proper cuts would the spirit taste similar if I put that same wash into a 250 gallon pot still.

Swede Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 If you were using a similar style still for the larger production batches then I'd say you'll be able to translate very well to larger batches. If you use a different style still (column) then you won't get the same results without some serious playing around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mendodistilling Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yes, it will come out the same if you are careful with your heat source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisan Still Design Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 while you may not get an exact 1:1 between that and your product on a larger still, its still a good place to start. you can at least see what your distillate tastes like and get your mash formulated before you begin. there is something to be said about a smaller version of your production still for proofing.if you have your DSP already you can begin production on a smaller sale, you can put some samples together for tasting with vendors and potential investors with the confidence it will be the same as you put into larger volume production.
