Different Stills Today’s Mooshiners Buy or Make:



Pot Still

It’s the most basic still. It’s a stout and short still that collects and condescends the alcohol vapors. The outcome is a 40-60% purity of alcohol with a large amount of flavor in it. If desired, you can distill the alcohol again to make it a higher proof with less flavor.



Reflux Still

Can do multiple things in one single distill.
It condenses the vapors and then the alcohol trickles it back through. This trickle back run though helps clean the liquor and increase the purities percent. This still makes for a good clean vodka.



Fraction Still

This still usually stands 2-4 feet high. This type of still makes the purest liquor. It is packed with high surface mineral that makes the alcohol 95%+ in proof. This leaves no flavor, but the purest alcohol.
