Wash Still, Spirit Still, best heating system

Hoga’s Copper Pot Stills are playing an important role in winning prizes for the micro-distilleries who actively participate with their spirits in world-class competitions in the whisky, rum gin, bourbon and brandy categories, and often win gold, silver or bronze medals. There is always a Hoga Still somewhere, but the most relevant number of Hoga pot stills can be found in the most demanding countries as U.S.A., U.K., Switzerland, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, France, Denamrk, Canada, Australia. If you plan to distill whiskey, distill brandy, distill gin, hoga stills are perfect for boutique-style distillery, whether small or medium-size, where quality must be the primary goal. Experience says that the 1000 litre copper-pot-still can be charged with 825 litres wash, as anymore can cause it to foam up and boil over. As a spirit pot still, hoga pot still can be charged with 900 or 925 litres low wines as there is no foam. Regarding copper pot still sizes, for every distillation it ends up with around 99 litres of clean, crisp spirit at 69% ABV. On the latter we calculate this as Litre Pure Alcohol (LPA) by the following; 99L X 0.69 = 68.31 Litres Pure Alcohol. The wash was about 7% ABV. For a typical distillation using 1 x 1000 litre wash still plus 1 x 500 litre spirit still, the results are as follows: For every mash into the mash tun it was used 425 kg of crushed malted barley and 1,900 litres of hot water. From that we gain 1,600 litres of wort (sugary barley flavoured liquid) into the 2,000 litre Fermenter for fermentation. You need extra space for the yeast to foam up. . From that 1,600 litres of wort which ferments into 9% or 10% ABV wash, we yield around 200 litres of caskable spirit. This ⅛ rule is typical in whisky production. However it would be typical to distill all of wash in one run through the large wash still and then the smaller spirit still, but as it is considered to only have a 1,000 litre was still and 500 litre spirit still, we run half of our wash (i.e. 800 litres) one day and the other 800 litres of wash through the wash still the next day. The 200 litres of caskable spirit (new make spirit) is around 60% ABV, thus is (200 litres x 0.6) = 120 litres of pure alcohol (LPA) per mash. So, for every mash that we do we gain 120 LPA through a 1,000 litre wash still and 500 litre spirit still. If we then did five mashes per week, 5 mashes x 50 weeks per year we would get (5 mashes x 120 LPA x 50 weeks) 30,000 LPA. AGING WHISKY: To smooth your whisky or bourbon, we recommend our used barrels of Genuine Port Wine, collected from the vineyards of the Douro Valley.

Electric Fluid Heater as an alternative to Steam Heater

With less-complex thermal fluid heating systems, there are rewards; reduced operating costs and no environmental concerns - as well as product quality resulting from better heating and cooling control. No water treatments requirements, no corrosion or freezing concerns, no pressure - no explosion, minimal maintenance, absence of limestone, no hand-hole gasket replacement. Combine these with improved safety and reduced manpower cost, and the overall economy of thermal fluid systems will far surpass steam
