Home Distiller

loGin, I think you are trying to run before you have learned to walk, there is no set temperature for a pot still and you can not control the temp of the wash in the boiler. You run a pot still by using your eyes and watching the flow leaving the still.......not by staring at a thermometer. Might I...

Could you advise the best temperature to set for the distilling process in a pot starting from neutral base?

Hello all,
I am struggling to find one key information: I have an electrical heating system, what temperature should I set it to while pot distilling (starting from neutral)?

Thank you guys!

Do you make gradual intermediate stops during the temperature rise?
At what temperature do you you find your optimal and stop?

It would actually be very interesting to go through this topic. there are many traditional recipes for liqueors that use wisteria in infusion and then just filter it out. Bolls makes one just like that. Could it be that the toxin degrades at a certain temperature? Or maybe it evaporates at a higher ...

Thank you for the precise answer.
I should have been more precise: I am looking to use only the petals (in Tuscany, fried wisteria is a traditional local dish!)

I am wondering what the best way to use it would be: maceration and distillation (if yes, 6/7 days of maceration?) or vapor infusion on gin basket? thank you gentlemen for your atte...

Hello all!

Looking forward to begin my gin recipe development

Ciao!
