Distilling equipment refers to the specialized machines and vessels used to transform raw materials into distilled spirits such as whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, etc. At its core, it includes stills, mash tuns, fermentation tanks, boilers, and filtration systems.
Why is the right equipment so important? Because the distilling equipment you use directly affects the quality, consistency, and efficiency of your product. For anyone looking to start a small distillery or expand an existing craft distillery, investing in fully functional distilling equipment is essential.
Every distillery's needs vary, but most require a core set of distilling equipment to ensure reliable production and consistent quality.
Essential Equipment List
mash tuns (steam jacketed or direct fired)
Fermenters (jacketed, conical or open)
Stills (pot and column stills, 50-300 gallon stills, 300 gallon super vodka stills)
Boilers (electric, stand-alone or steam jet)
Dephlegmator (optional, for advanced purification)
Mixing tank (for mixing raw materials)
These vessels are manufactured with the highest quality materials to ensure their longevity and safety.
A truly affordable still is defined by the balance between upfront investment and long-term operating costs.
Key Features
Manufactured from the finest stainless steel
Flexible configurations (jacketed wort tun and stripping still, column or pot)
Efficient heating (electric, steam or direct fire options)
Custom engineering for your unique spirit
Even if it's affordable, the equipment should be fully functional, reliable and professionally assembled, just like our professional range of stills.
Column and pot still designs each have advantages, depending on your product goals and process.
| FEATURE | POT STILL | COLUMN STILL |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Whiskey, gin, rum | Vodka, neutral spirits |
| Output | Lower proof, more character | Higher proof, cleaner spirits |
| Cost | Typically lower | Usually higher |
| Flexibility | Good for small batches | Suited for continuous operation |
Pot stills are ideal for bulk distillation and rich flavor.
Column stills are for those seeking yield and purity.
Advanced features in your distilling equipment can significantly impact the quality and efficiency of your spirit.
Jackets: Steam-jacketed wort tuns or fermenters allow for precise temperature control, which is critical for flavor development.
Boilers: Steam jet boilers or electric boilers provide consistent heat for repeatable brewing results.
Decanters: Enhanced reflux allows you to fine-tune the purity and aroma of your spirit.
Focus on affordable distilling equipment without compromising quality.
Choose manufacturers with a proven track record and expert technical support.
Understand your process and scale - choose the right stills, wort tuns and fermenters.
Customize your complete distillation system to ensure future flexibility.
Use modular, professional series options for scalable growth.
Always consider the total cost of ownership, not just the purchase price.
