I ran across this page from Russia, mostly about peaches. However, near the bottom of the page are several pics of a beautiful still (alembic??) you might like to look at. I think they are making 'eau de vie'. Its all in cyrillic, and I'm not russian, so I dont have a clue what they're saying. Theres also a link to a brewery for the beer crowd. (clik th' pic) for whatever its worth, -hey-

I can't make out the name of the still builder, which is on the filling manhole. In Germany there are several companies building stills for (small) commercial use. Take a look here, at Müller Brennereianlagen. http://www.brennereianlagen.de/index.html

Wow, that is a beautiful still, I would love to have that in my outbuilding. I did some google translating from Russian to English and they are making peach brandy and the peaches are actually grown on a farm in Denver, Colorado. Enjoyed the read and would have done a full translation by I am using my new netpad without a mouse and it became more work than I wanted.

That is a Holstein still, made in Germany. 'Tis a thing of beauty.
