The main components of a charentais alembic still include the boiler, the swan neck, the condenser, and the pre-heater.

Each of these components plays a crucial role in the distillation process:

The boiler is where the raw material, usually a fermented grape mash, is heated.
The swan neck is a pipe that connects the boiler to the condenser. It’s designed to allow the vapor to rise and travel to the condenser.
The condenser is where the vapor is cooled and condensed back into a liquid.
The pre-heater is a unique feature of the charentais alembic still.

The Distillation Process Using a Charentais Alembic Still

The distillation process using a charentais alembic still is a meticulous and time-honored tradition. It begins with the preparation of the raw material, usually a fermented grape mash. This mash is then loaded into the boiler of the still.
The boiler is heated, causing the alcohol in the mash to evaporate. This vapor travels up the swan neck and into the condenser, where it is cooled and condensed back into a liquid. This liquid, known as the distillate, is collected and set aside.
The distillation process using a charentais alembic still is unique in that it involves two stages. The first distillation, known as the “rough distillation,” produces a liquid with an alcohol content of about 28-32%. This liquid is then distilled a second time in a process known as the “good distillation.”
The good distillation is where the magic happens. The distiller must carefully monitor the temperature and make precise cuts to separate the heads, hearts, and tails.

The staff is very nice, and the price is very competitive. Very friendly conversation. The products are meticulously crafted, and there are third-party product certifications, the quality is more guaranteed, and I am very satisfied with the products.

Nice fermentor, the company made some small changes we requested with out any hesitation, the only issue was there were a few minor weld defects which could have been improved, they are very receptive to the feed back and we are considering them for further work.

Everything arrived and packaged well. Shipping was crazy but the supplier did a good job to resolve and get my equipment shipped in time.Thanks very much.

I was a bit apprehensive about buying from an unknown manufacturer overseas, I took a chance, and it paid off big time for me. The goods were packed very well and arrived in perfect condition. The quality of materials and workmanship are second to none. I will be using Wenzhou ACE Machinery Co., Ltd. again as I am very impressed with their skills.

Very good service, and good advice. The team are always ready to answer customer question, and product are high quality, it's perfect. Thanks your team for good service

I looked at a lot of stills and found that buying a cheap one would be throwing away money. So I checked out professional built and designed stills. I looked on e-bay, Amazon and private companies in the US and found the best deal on Alibaba with Wenzhou Ace Machine. Great to communicate with, patient, respond quickly and professional. It's built as solid as it looks, like a tank. It should last a long time.
