1. Overview
The 200L Hybrid Multifunctional Still is a premium distillation system engineered for craft distillers and commercial micro-distilleries. It harmonizes the traditional advantages of copper-known for enhancing spirit smoothness and flavor refinement-with the modern durability of stainless steel. This integration results in a versatile distillation solution capable of producing high-quality spirits, botanical extracts, and more, with exceptional efficiency and precise operational control. Its robust design also serves as a distinctive centerpiece in any distillery, laboratory, or production space.
2. Key Features
Dual-Material Construction: Critical distillation components (helmet, onion head, condenser) are crafted from oxygen-free copper (C10100) to facilitate sulfide removal and flavor enhancement. The main boiler and piping utilize #304/#316 food-grade stainless steel for structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning.
Versatile Production: Designed as an all-in-one system, it supports the distillation of a wide range of products, including whiskey, gin, vodka, essential oils, hydrosols, and herbal tinctures.
Precision Control: Equipped with analog thermometers, pressure gauges, adjustable steam valves, and safety release mechanisms, enabling full oversight of the distillation process.
Efficient Condensation: A large copper shell-and-tube or coil condenser ensures rapid vapor liquefaction, preserving aromatic compounds and maximizing yield.
Integrated Safety: Features automatic pressure relief valves, sight glasses for liquid level monitoring, and over-temperature protection for secure operation.

4. Applications
The still is designed to produce:
Spirits: Whiskey, brandy, vodka, rum, gin, tequila/mezcal.
Extracts: Essential oils (lavender, peppermint, etc.), hydrosols (rosewater, orange blossom water), herbal tinctures, and culinary concentrates.
5. Operational Guide
Preparation: Clean the still with hot water and mild detergent. Fill the boiler with fermented wash (≤150L) and secure all seals.
Distillation:
Start cooling water flow.
Apply heat gradually to bring wash to a boil.
Collect and discard foreshots (initial volatile fraction).
Collect "hearts" (desirable ethanol fraction) until quality declines.
Collect "tails" (lower-ABV fraction) for recycling.
Shutdown: Turn off heat, let the system cool, drain spent wash, and rinse/dry the still.
