1 x Grommets - Airlock

Cost of operation

The unit runs on a 2kw element, depending on the ingredients, will vary the operation time but between 4-5 hours is the general rule with a full run. At $0.13kwh, the unit cost a insignificant $1.30 in power consumption to operate, this is opposed to other forms of distillation units requiring LPG gas which can be quite expensive after 5 hours of operation.

Cost of final product

This will vary depending on what you are making in terms of whiskey or liqueurs, also the varying qualities available. But working on the highest quality and most recommended blend of ingredients you are looking at approximately $10 per the bottle which is equivalent to a $60+ triple distilled commercial grade alcohol bought from your everyday liquor outlet. Higher and lower alcohol quality grades can be achieved, but there is a sliding scale quality for quantity.

This figure has been fully aggravated to consider all aspects of cleaning, fermenting, distilling and blending of your drink.

Looking more detailed at ingredients

The use of premium ingredients will not only increase the quality of the end product, but will increase the ease of use of the distillation products. Providing you use very high quality ingredients (like the 6kg triple distilled production pack) there is no need to discard the first 50mls that is associated with other stills, as these yeasts produce one tenth of the metho and impurities during initial fermentation. Thus, any remaining impurities will be removed with the combination of the high % super reflux and the still spirits carbon filtration system.

It should be noted that a reflux will only increase the concentration not change quality the product is, high quality product in equals high quality out. Low quality yeasts and sugars can create compounds that produce undesired substances that have very close boiling points to the ~78°C in addition to high levels of metho ~65°C that can carry across and can fool the reading equipment used to test % of product. Spirit Hydrometers work on density and are only accurate when measuring pure spirit and water
