Re: iStill NextGen
Let me discuss it with one of my engineers ...
Currently testing the heck out of the new iStill Mini. We made a faux whiskey from roasted buckwheat. And we are currently making a vodka out of that.

Re: iStill NextGen
Hey Odin,
I didn't know the iStill was your baby! I checked it out a few months ago after I got my head distiller job. The website said something about the maillard reaction during distillation. This seemed like marketing gobbledegook to me. Certainly there is maillard when toasting grains but not in the presence of so much water. Can you comment? Thanks.

Re: iStill NextGen
Yeah, read up on Maillard. I did quite some postings about it. Even on this forum.
On another note, we did some extensive testing on the iStill Mini. We made some faux roasted buckwheat whiskey. Accelerated the aging process a bit with some wood chunks and ultrasonic treatments and turned it into a pretty okay drink. Pictures tomorrow.
We used the remainder of the buckwheat wash to be turned into a vodka, again using the R&D iStill Mini. 96% in one go on a very low abv wash ...
Here's a picture.

And we designed a new innovation: indirect heaters. Here is a picture of an i2000 we are building. It has 3 screw in holes to accomodate the new indirect heating system. This is a picture taken before the acid bath, so welds look a bit dirty still.
