Good device! 👍 The distillate will be clean.

[@chrisv8674]

Very nice setup and explanation,it will save energy too 😃

[@chrisv8674]

Got a question from someone, can you explane if the wash is pre heated, by the product cooler ?

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

Sorry, missed your question. Mash is pre heated by vapour which is coming from the boiler from the begging, the we have alcohol vapour, when we turn on pump with mash. Under the pre-heater we have usual shotgun condenser.

[@mushroomman1856]

I get it now. I want one one of those water management systems. Kick ass!

[@cosmasmbuzi.1467]

Thank you very much

[@robertfontaine3650]

Very nice.

[@nickna5092]

thank you for taking the time to make this video Andrey. Do you have some numbers on what size boiler can run how much mash? Thanks

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

Yes, 50 Litre boiler with water and heating element of 3kWt can handle 200 Litres of mash, so it's about 12 hours of working

[@ubza1234]

What is the boiler volume and element power? Thank you for the video!

[@jayeprice]

Great set up. Do you use just the one condenser or do you also have a condenser on the waste outlet to help heat the mash up to 80 degrees?

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

In this solution we don't use waste as heater of actual mash, but we've made one column where it's made. I hope next year we show it here.

[@RayTruBOB]

Hi. What happened to your website? Are you still selling the equipment? Thanks.

[@jerrybear3081]

would this setup be considered a "reflux" setup

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

Yes, this distiller is modular, so you just need to add dephlegmator, which is included in this kit. Then make a second distillation using these plates as well. Result is pretty good, if you're distilling fruit or grain mash. Some people like simple sugar distillate with reflux with these plates, but I don't really. It's better to add mesh packing or SPP and get more neutral spirits (in case of simple Sugar)

[@MrDavesbox1]

excellent video!!!!! i am just learning about continuous distilling! can I purchase the metal filter you showed in the beginning? and the pump you use is capable of handling higher proof alcohol? I want to circulate my hearts through a charcoal and flavor bag for several hours...will this work?

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

Happy to hear that! If I understood correctly - siphon - here - doctor-gradus.com/catalog/sifony/ Pump is capable to transfer high proof alcohol, it's 24V so it's able to work everywhere. Might be a bit slow, but works great. Here is a pump - doctor-gradus.com/catalog/nasosy/nasos_peristalticheskiy_/ Yes, it's going to work fine at the process you mentioned.

[@MrDavesbox1]

Comrade Gradus- have you developed ....or maybe we can develop a re-useable filter to clear mash quickly before distillation? this would be the best invention in 100 years....im trying but its difficult- do you have ideas? Time is money and waiting to clear mash is problem.

[@robertfontaine3650]

Are there any plans for a 76mm version for those of us with existing 3" columns? Will your peristaltic pump be adequate? This seems like a very tidy tool for home distillation.

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

Yes we have plans for 3 inch continuous columns and already tested one. We are changing the packing for better performance. This 2021 there going to be more parts for 3 inch columns. Write us what you intended in? Some parts we already making for buyers.

[@DudulleMaster]

Nice, but the temperature sensor must be placed in the middle of the column, not at the bottom

[@gordslater]

don't tell him Pike !

[@smrettpecca]

At first....... thank you very much for producing your contend in a multinational language! i've got a couple of Questions. is there a chance for Private messages?

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

Thank you so much! Sure you can write to our email and I will see or International sales manager Sergey will notify me to answer. [e-mail] or [e-mail]

[@austinwilkins3474]

How much does one of these run?

[@superdupermax]

how do you separate foreshots and heads with this? or do you pretty much have to do a spirit run after?

[@DoctorGradusInternational]

Yes, our Continuous Stills are made for kind of Russian choice. So, it's just a way to make first run with collecting great low wines where is no boiling taste and flavour. You right you have make a spirit run after distillation process and cut foreshots and heads. We are going to build continuous stills where is going to be units to collect everything you need to, but don't know when we start.

[@JonDoe-qp6nx]

how do you deal with methanol?

[@ericbowers71]

Looks like a dosing pump.
