Save your shekels, and buy your own column still. A couple thousand $ will get you one that can produce up to 95% alcohol (vodka) in one pass, as well as allow you to make all other spirits...whiskey, rum, brandy, and gin.
I want some clarity. At the plate heat exchanger the hot liquid separates from the grain. The mash you refer to is the cooled down liquid I'm guessing. Although you mentioned the spent grain just before speaking of the mash. So for confirmation which is it? And while I am enjoying the video, I would appreciate a bit more consistency with the names used or descriptions when the names change so there's absolutely no misunderstanding involved. Thank you.
What is your question? I think the explanation is pretty clear and the graphic even more so. Some words don't have hyper specific definitions, and their usage varies drastically from one tradition to another. So exactly when the ingredients are called "mash" vs. "wash" vs. "beer" etc will be totally different in the US vs. Europe. Or even in one company to another. Regardless, as he says "the hot liquid is drained off and cooled down to the pitching temperature in the plate heat exchanger as yeast can only ferment at quite low temperatures, the solid residues also known as spent grains remain. This mash is then transferred to fermentation tanks..." In this example the liquid is the mash being transferred to the fermenters along with yeast, note how it looks like a liquid? And the solids are called spent grains and left behind.
hi i understand the process and have built my own .but at the top of your column you mention deflicmater .can you help me understand what that is and where i could find out more .❤
Hey Peter, a dephlegmator is another cooling part, where cold water runs through it and cools down the alcoholic steam. The steam runs through some vertical pipes.. If you search on aliexpress or also here on youtube, you will find many different types. Don't know which one will work for you best..
It would be interesting to know how "rough", "peasant" vodka was produced in days of yore...I imagine it wouldn't have been purified to such a degree as modern vodka.
The only addition I would include is that by law spirit needs to be distilled to 95 - 96% ABV before dilution to be called vodka. Great animation. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.
I've never been able to drink vodka straight yet my partner can i don't know how people do it just burns and turns me sick can only drink it with mixer
As the famous Russian writer Arthur Q. once said, "If you tear the soul out of a drink, you get vodka." That's why vodka is considered the worst strong alcoholic beverage because it lacks a soul.
.. and thank you again! I really enjoy it, if guys like you see the work in it :-) this still a saw in a small distillery here in my home town and the distiller explained my, how it works.. have a nice weekend
Hi Kevin, thank you so much for your interest and your kind words. You can reach me at kontakt@endes-welten.de or on my website endes-welten.de Looking forward to hearing from you, Cheers, Oliver
pure water...what does it mean exactly? the only real "pure" water is the distilled one (the water i put in the clothes iron). pure water is H2O and nothing more (no minerals, no gas, nothing)
nothing. it's a bit harsh on your throat. a regular person would get slightly drunk and it would last very shortly. there are vodkas available to buy with 95%.
And all Vodka tastes the same. It is Water with Alcohol. And it is your mind tricking you into believing otherwise or the different percentage of alcohol used in one bottle.
Incredibly informative video. Text books be damned. RUclips has some of the finest teaching tools I've ever seen. Well done!
Thanks a lot! 😀
I agree. ..by the way if alkaline water is used during the process will it make it a beter vodka thnx
Was too drunk to understand all the details, will rewatch tomorrow, but thank you for the great video
😂
Very well documented….Cheers!
Wow! Great animation and very informative as well.
Thank you so much! 🤙🏼😁
Nice educational video after watching tenths of how vodka is made videos.
Thanks a lot!!
Thanks. Great video.
Thank you for this, it was helpful ❤🎉
Hello, how much water and raw material is add in first place? What are the propotions
Thank you. A very informative video
Hey Tanya, you are so welcome, thanks for your kind words 😀
Very Nice, great presentation 👏🏼
Thanks a lot 😉
Functioning of the column stills is similar to the destilation of oil
because main products of Russia is oil and vodka. Somewhere in Russia: Ivan, we will do vodka or gasoline today:)
Very well done. Never really tried vodka. I think I will now. Just for the heck of it. 😀
It’s gross

@@MrJhchristI also doubted a little bit when hearing/reading this part. English is not my native language.
good job on the video man
Great video!
Thank a lot
What the type pf bioreactor it used?

Something about alcohol being made from potatoes grosses me out
Excellent, informative video. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words!
Of course, I'm even more pleased to hear that from a distillery owner. Greetings from Hamburg
The only addition I would include is that by law spirit needs to be distilled to 95 - 96% ABV before dilution to be called vodka. Great animation. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia.
@@vict9864 o.k. thanks for the advice, I will add that in the next update
Perfect présentation
Thanks a lot for the kind words :-)
Came to see how I would make some Vodka when the world ends...First step I guess is find a distillery for the hardware lol
Haha, good plan 👍
very informative video
Thank you
Nicely done.
Thank you! Cheers!
if u can
i suggest
u should need to put the spelling as well
coz some of the words
i can't understand😊
But appreciated for this vidoe
thanks for the excellent animation. You should make another one about gin :)
Haha, thank you very much! At the moment, I am working on how rum is produced.. ;-) Maybe Gin will follow some day
Great Sir.... not only gin pls do for tequila, brandy, whisky as well...
Sambuca 😋
Glaciers don’t need any help disappearing.
Great
Why that animation and voiceover , I was expecting an explosion from the distillerie (csb investigations referance)
Vodkas nice man you dont need a mixer stright vodka mwa
I've never been able to drink vodka straight yet my partner can i don't know how people do it just burns and turns me sick can only drink it with mixer
Can I make it at home
May not be safe..

Артур Конадойл не русский писатель. А в остальном всё правда. Водку пить нельзя это продукт ректификата. Нужно пить moonshine
Sounds like rubbish
Your still is amazing
.. and thank you again! I really enjoy it, if guys like you see the work in it :-) this still a saw in a small distillery here in my home town and the distiller explained my, how it works.. have a nice weekend
Good video
Thanks a lot
Hello - great video! We are looking for someone to create a video like this for our company. How can I reachout? Thanks.

well water from icebergs is pretty much like that.
@@andrejrockshox the water of the iceberg is totally pure? i dont know, surelly its not salted but ice could contain impurities like gas or powder
@@g.moroni1550 its good enough for premium vodka. For your clothes iron too.
I wonder who first found out how to do this and how? Same with fire
thousand little steps.

I wander what will happen if somebody gonna drink a shot of 100% pure alcohol 😂💀😈
nothing. it's a bit harsh on your throat. a regular person would get slightly drunk and it would last very shortly. there are vodkas available to buy with 95%.

This is very far from being true lol
@@BionicPig95 Why?
@@Shadowwalker1717 the purity of the water makes a big difference. You can’t say that Skol and Grey Goose taste the same.
I appreciated the information but your watermark was unnecessary and extremely annoying
Can you dm your mail for further communication
