📄 PRODUCT DATASHEET: 200L Hybrid (Copper & Stainless Steel) Multifunctional Still
🌟 1. Product Overview
The 200L Hybrid Multifunctional Still is a professional-grade distillation system engineered for the discerning craftsperson and commercial micro-distillery. It masterfully combines the traditional benefits of copper with the modern durability of stainless steel. This synergy creates a versatile workhorse capable of producing exceptionally smooth spirits and pure botanical extracts with maximum efficiency and unparalleled control. Its iconic design is a statement piece in any distillery, lab, or workshop.
⚡ 2. Key Features & Benefits
🏗️ Hybrid Material Construction: The distillation core (helm, onion head, condenser) is crafted from oxygen-free copper (C10100), which catalyzes the removal of sulfides for a smoother spirit. The main boiler and piping are made from #304 / #316 Food-Grade Stainless Steel, ensuring robust structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning.
🔧 Multi-Functional Design: A true all-in-one system for producing a vast range of spirits and extracts. Perfect for whiskey, gin, vodka, essential oils, and hydrosols.
📊 Precision Control: Equipped with professional dial thermometers and pressure gauges. Features adjustable steam valves and safety releases for complete command over the entire distillation process.
❄️ High-Efficiency Condensation: A large, copper shell-and-tube or coil condenser ensures rapid and complete liquefaction of vapors, preserving the delicate volatile compounds and maximizing yield.
🛡️ Built-in Safety: Includes multiple safety features: automatic pressure release valves, sight glasses for liquid level monitoring, and over-temperature protection for complete peace of mind.

📋 5. Step-by-Step Operational Guide
⚠️ WARNING: Distillation involves high temperatures, pressure, and flammable vapors. Operate only in a well-ventilated area by trained personnel, adhering to all local safety regulations.
🛁 Preparation & Charging:
Clean the still thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent.
Fill the boiler with your fermented wash through a filter funnel. DO NOT exceed 75% (150L) of total capacity.
Secure all clamps and lids evenly to ensure a perfect seal.
🔥 Distillation Run:
Start Cooling Water: Always begin by turning on the condenser water supply. Ensure a steady flow.
Apply Heat: Start the heating system. Gradually increase power to bring the wash to a boil.
Foreshots (~1-2% of output): The first liquid to condense contains volatile compounds like methanol. Collect this separately and DISCARD it.
Hearts: Once the foreshots are collected, the "hearts" will run. This is the desirable, high-proof ethanol. Collect this fraction until the spirit's quality begins to drop (determined by taste, smell, or proof).
Tails: The output becomes oily and cloudy with lower ABV. Switch collection vessels for the "tails." These can be recycled into your next fermentation run.
🛑 Shutdown & Cleaning:
After collection is complete, turn off the heat source.
Allow the system to cool down while the cooling water continues to flow for a short period.
Drain the spent wash from the boiler.
Rinse the interior with clean water and allow it to dry completely to prevent contamination or corrosion.
