Understanding Tequila Stills: Materials, Features, and Capacities
- Copper: The primary material in most premium tequila stills is copper, known for its exceptional thermal conductivity and catalytic properties. Copper helps remove unwanted compounds like sulfur, resulting in a smoother and cleaner tequila.
- Stainless Steel: Often used in combination with copper, stainless steel provides additional durability and ease of maintenance. The internal copper elements ensure flavor quality, while the external stainless steel maintains structural strength.
- Combination Options: Some distillers prefer a tequila still made of both copper and stainless steel. This combination offers a balance between the traditional benefits of copper distillation with the practical durability of stainless steel, especially for larger capacity stills.
Key Features of Our Tequila Stills
- Varying Sizes: We produce tequila stills which can be expanded from 100L to 30000L.
- Design: To avoid the presence of cold spots or hot spots which eventually leads to an imbalance in heating, thus guaranteeing a proper temperature every single time, our tequila stills are designed, so every spot is heated evenly and at a consistent cold temperature.
- Accurate Thermometers: Distilling tequila requires precise temperatures else it can distort the quality meaning by which it no longer becomes pure, to aid deviations we incorporate reliable thermometers and pressure controls mechanisms into our still design.
- Distillation Equipment for Tequila – Column and Pot Still: Our tequila products are produced in a pot still distillation technique alongside wooden vats that provides full body and rich aroma and balance alongside column stills that assist in achieving a more well-rounded smoother tequila.
- Cost effective and easy maintenance: Post usage for a longer duration, the tequila stills are construction in such a manner that allows them to be cleaning easily. In turn, such components become an asset for the tequila maker, enhancing their worth.
- Additional Features: What’s more, there is an HP auto high-precision heater, clear and easy to read gauges on the pressure and temperature settings, and suitable lids with relief valves to keep pressure for a safe and effective distillation.
Benefits of Using a Copper Pot Still for Tequila
- Grinding Grits: Thence, copper fragments superbly denatures and renders unsuitable compounds of tequila, aiding in the textural improvement of tequila.
- A Punchier Aroma: During the distillation process of tequila, the vaporous particles together with the copper yield a more potent distilled tequila and a more complex one.
- Typical Flavors In Tequila: A greater number of tequila distillers prefer using copper pot stills, since they retain the real taste of tequila.
Choosing the Right Tequila Still for Your Needs?
As you choose tequila stills, identify your production goals, the flavor that you want to achieve, as well as your range of finances. On the other hand, large-scale distillation is more effective with larger column stills or with a pot still with greater volume capacity. Craft tequila distillers who would like to maintain maximum flavor control would often favor smaller copper pot stills.
Small Craft Distilleries
Our stills provide complete covering for each handcrafted gin production batch that conforms for each small craft distillery that aims at quality production.
Industrial Distillation
High volume distilleries should have these bigger stills that can hold up to 30,000 liters as the bigger stills do not compromise on quality, no matter what the size of the production is.
Specialty Beverages Culture
Good Lone Star and other fine tequilas can be distilled in these stills, which puts encapsulated Agave in different distillation parameters. Other Agave based spirits such as Raicilla can also be distilled as it also takes similar processes.
Teaching and Showcasing Purposes
Small units (100L – 500L) are the best for using in teaching, training, and mixing schools due to their small size.
Frequently Asked Questions On Tequila Still Units
1. Why is Copper Still More Superior When Making Tequila?
Copper enhances the available spirit by cutting off the sulfur compounds, which helps in off-flavors stripping. It also assists in vapor interaction during distillation, which in turn also makes the final drink smoother.
2. Is it Possible to Have Customized Volumes in My Tequila Still?
Absolutely! Our tequila stills can be used for small scale distilleries starting from 100 liters or perfect for large scale distilleries with the capacity of 30,000 liters.
3. Can These Stills Be Used for Other Spirits?
Tequila stills are not just limited to tequila production but can also be used for other Agave based spirits and liquors.
4. Where Can I Get Photos or Information on Copper Tequila Stills?
The still should be cleaned after every distillation cycle, and gaskets and seals should be checked in intervals to ensure the still is well maintained in order to last longer.
5. What separates the Copper Pot Still Distillation from that of the Column Still?
Using a Pot Still provides riskier tequilas that are characterized with fuller bodies and flavor profiles. On the other hand, Column Still is easier and aligned with the majority’s goal, given its smoother tequila ease of distillation.
6. My Tequila Should Not Be Active Immediately, correct? The Active Time Is Right Next To Harvest Time
Proposals/Support for tequilas active during distillation which might require setups at times, calibration and a few other operational procedures as well.
Choosing the Right Tequila Still for Your Needs
If cost and extravagance are not an issue, it is important to take a number of factors into account, including your target profiles. For instance, smaller ones require pot stills as they work with tequila that has been distilled with larger industrial columns.
Costs and Returns
If you are someone starting out then smaller cheaper tequila distillers will work, but if you want greater returns in a multiyear scale then larger stills are better for cuts in costs.
Considerations
Equip yourself and the space with necessary tools to make sure the air is in check, space is appropriate and everything works well with the pressure. Such factors contribute a lot towards a successful distillation process.
Scale of Business
If you run an SME then a cheaper option would be 100–500 articles but if you run a more established business with larger revenue than 10,000 to 30,000 articles would be ideal in order to ensure business expansion.
Quality and Flavors
Without a doubt, using a copper pot will still lead to some tequilas being heavier and huggable while the ones done in a column will have a tweaked lighter feel to it which can be appealing for heavier marketed states.
