‘high quality product’ - makes it sound like you’re one of them old boys off ‘moonshiners’

Got to say I’m intrigued by the whole idea so am now off to look this bit of kit up

If whoever buys it could turn the 100l or so of random wine / cider that I’m not happy with and stashed for such an occasion, into “product” I’d be delighted!!

Ah ah! That would make really good brandy, and applejack. Honestly, the process is you make a colourless wine at around 14% then that is distilled to 60% abv , then you cut that with water down to 40% or 43% according to taste. You are most of the way there with that 100 litres !!
I’ll only sell it to you if you promise to give me a bottle of one of each of what you produce afterwards!

I love the way UK home brewing equipment companies list the stills in their catalogues as being "for decorative purposes only"

Unfortunately not as I’ve got 4 demijohns, 4 x5gallon drums, various bits and pieces to all go with it to get you started straight away.
It’s a great bit of kit and does the job perfectly.

Biffo, you still running it?

I’ve got one, great bit of kit, you can buy the essence to add to the alcohol to make it taste like what you can buy or you can make your own flavourings like rhubarb and ginger gin, or whatever flavouring you want. We had friends over having made different gins whisky, rum with the still and essence and did a taste test comparing the real stuff with our home brew. The only one that some people guessed was home brew was the rum and that was because we didn’t add enough of the sugar syrup to get the consistency right. You do have to remember to water it down or it can be lethal . The first 50 ml distilled is unusable to drink that is but makes great cleaning product like isopropyl. As for the legality , you are allowed to distil a certain amount per year and can be added to petrol cars, don’t know that I would try that though. Enjoy.
