Kegland Commercial Distillation Column – on sale for $2,199, Save $300, MoreBeer Deal of the Day

Distillation Column | Modular Copper Bubbler Plates | Borosilicate Glass Column | 4" Tri-Clamp DS155

Distillation Column | Modular Copper Bubbler Plates | Borosilicate Glass Column | 4″ Tri-Clamp

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Copper bubble plate column produces higher proof distillate in a single run
Borosilicate glass section can be removed to use the column as a pot still for gin, whiskey, rum, and other flavored spirits
Modular, tri-clamp design for easy modification and break down for cleaning
Capable of producing up to 96% ABV distillate
This professional-level distillation column features a modular borosilicate glass body that allows you to watch the progress of your distilling run. It features a 4″ tri-clamp connection point which can be attached to the heavy-duty Pro Sight Glass Distillation Lid. Perfectly suited to making up to 96% ABV distillate with 3000w to 3500w of power, and therefore we recommend pairing this column with the 65L BrewZilla or DigiBoil to complete the still. The modular design allows you to remove the borosilicate glass column and run it as a pot still for gins, whiskeys, grappa, brandy, and rums.

This column is recommended for intermediate to advanced hobbyist distillers entering the commercial sector who want to a visual indicator of how the still is performing. New distillers are best suited to learn the basics with the AlcoEngine Reflux and AlcoEngine Pot Still range before venturing up to different types of distillation.

This distillation kit is Cooling Management still, whereas the AlcoEngines are Liquid Management stills that restrict the flow of distillate, forcing a desired reflux ratio. With this design you are controlling the input of water to the RC component on the column to knock down vapors to fill the bubbler plates, taking on a small portion of the lightest vapors first and condensing them back into liquid as your final distillate.

How The Bubble Plate Column Works:
Vapor will come into contact with the plates and caps inside the column, causing the vapor to condense back into a liquid. This will happen at the very top of the still where the RC cooler will knock that vapor back into a liquid, causing a reflux action. As the liquid then falls down from bubbler cap to bubbler cap, the liquid that falls is eventually forced back up through the plates again. This process of being forced to run through the caps and plates multiple times creates an end product that has essentially been distilled multiple times in a single run, meaning you can get higher proof alcohol when compared to an empty column. The bubble plates perform a similar function as the copper packing in a hybrid column, but does so more efficiently. When running a bubble plate column, the first run will start in the range of 72.5%-85%. Depending on the quality of the wash, you can reach up to 95%-96% ABV, the highest-grade ethanol you can distill.

Please note: There is no instruction manual. This is deemed a commercial unit for those with a license to produce alcohol. We take no responsibility for your failure to comply with your state/local legislation.

Includes:

(1) 4″ Tri-Clamp Adapted 23.6″ (600mm) Tall Borosilicate Glass Column with Threaded Tensions Rods

Ends Soon: Universal Copper Pot Still Dome – on sale for $109.99, save $40

Universal Copper Pot Still Dome

Universal Copper Pot Still Dome

If you use a pot still to make spirits like bourbon, whiskey, scotch, or rum, this pure copper dome provides a large copper surface area which acts as a catalyst with the distillate vapor to remove unwanted sulphur compounds as well as helping enhance and concentrate the flavors and aroma. The result is a smoother, richer finished spirit.

This pure copper dome includes a 47mm (1.85″) diameter hole and must be used with a condenser (Still Spirits Copper Condenser, KegLand Pot Still Condenser) to complete your home distilling rig. The copper is 1mm (.04″) thick.

This is a universal fit dome, and fits the Mash & Boil (with lid clips), Brewzilla 3.1 35 Liter, Robobrew 3.0, 35 Liter, Anvil Foundry 6.5 and 10.5, Still Spirits T500 Boiler, and the Grainfather 35 Liter. Includes a silicone sealing washer for a positive seal to the lip of the boiler.

Note: It will fit the Digiboil, but it is a very tight fit and will strain your clamps, so we do not really recommend it as far as a good fit for the Digiboil.


For a short time William’s has this marked down  to $109.99. That’s a $40 savings. Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the contiguous US depending on your order size for most items.

From the book description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

Named a Best Science Book of 2014 by Amazon, Wired, the Guardian, and NBC
Winner of the 2014 Gourmand Award for Best Spirits Book in the United States
Finalist for the 2015 PEN/E. O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award

“Lively . . . [Rogers’s] descriptions of the science behind familiar drinks exert a seductive pull.” — New York Times

Humans have been perfecting alcohol production for ten thousand years, but scientists are just starting to distill the chemical reactions behind the perfect buzz. In a spirited tour across continents and cultures, Adam Rogers takes us from bourbon country to the world’s top gene-sequencing labs, introducing us to the bars, barflies, and evolving science at the heart of boozy technology. He chases the physics, biology, chemistry, and metallurgy that produce alcohol, and the psychology and neurobiology that make us want it. If you’ve ever wondered how your drink arrived in your glass, or what it will do to you, Proof makes an unparalleled drinking companion.

“Rogers’s book has much the same effect as a good drink. You get a warm sensation, you want to engage with the wider world, and you feel smarter than you probably are. Above all, it makes you understand how deeply human it is to take a drink.” — Wall Street Journal
