Sailor Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Greeting If 50 gallons of gns is placed in a 120 gallon pot still with 50 gallons of water with the vapor passing thru a charged gin basket what could I expect the approximate proof of the distilate to be?

bluestar Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Depends on the still construction. The gin basket will likely increase reflux somewhat from the same still running without the gin basket (acting like a dephlegmator or thumper, depending on location in the vapor path). So, somewhere between 110 and 190 proof (simple alembic to vodka still). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silk City Distillers Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Theoretical pot still distillation should be ~160 proof and drop from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
