Distillation cube Absolute - its features and methods of modernization

Distillation cube absolute

Construction of the cube "Absolute"

In the distant III-IV centuries Cleopatra the Alchemist (Egyptian alchemist) came up with a moonshine machine, in particular, alembic. Moonshine was not known at that time, therefore, only essential oils were distilled. Since then, the design of the distillation device has not fundamentally changed.

The modern distillation cube is ordinary, more often a cylindrical boiler. It is made of different materials: copper, glass, aluminum… But most often use stainless steel.

Usually the boiler has a flat or concave bottom and a dome-shaped cover, which passed into the steam pipe. As low as possible to the level of the bottom in the wall of the cube is mounted a tap to drain the remnants of distillation of malt. Sometimes an internal thermometer and a safety valve are installed in the tank. Different heating methods are used, and it also depends on the design features of the cube.

Features of the cube "Absolute"

For the manufacture of this main part of the moonshine machine take food stainless steel. Silicone gasket is used to maintain tightness at the points of contact of the cover, and the cover itself is tightened with a tie clamp. All the basic necessary elements are in it:

• the bimetallic thermometer is intended for control of temperature of heated braga;
• a blast valve is needed to prevent excess pressure inside the cube, it opens and releases the pressure;
• threaded outlet fitting? or 1,25 in;

Unlike many other cubes, "Absolute" has a capsule bottom, therefore it can be installed not only on standard heat sources, but also on the induction hob. Another undeniably wonderful feature of the "Absolute" is its price, which differs favorably from the prices of all analogues.

Having established on a cube a hydrolock, it can be used, as a container for fermentation. And using even minor improvements, it can turn into a brewery or even a mash-filter tank. For this purpose it is enough to connect through the crane a barbator or a filter system.

Methods of modernization of the distilling cube "Absolute"

The main features of the distilling cube "Absolute" are its versatility. In that, that after absolutely insignificant permutations and constructive changes the owner of this basic element of the moonshine device can add to it some additional functions. Homegrown craftsmen have long adapted to do with it, having, wonderful things. Using the universal distilling cube "Absolute" and the above devices, it is possible to force him to take part in several more processes.

1. Hydrodoser - a kind of "controller", a special device for dosing the amount of carbon dioxide produced from the tank. It does not allow air from outside to enter the heated substance, preventing its oxidation and conversion into vinegar. At home, to reduce the cost of the drink, many distillers use a regular glove with a small hole in one of the fingers instead of a water dispenser. If you take the "Absolute" and install a water dispenser instead of a distillation system, then the distillation cube "Absolute" can be used as a container for fermentation.
2. A barbator is needed for that, to pass hot steam through the liquid, while the steam is under high pressure. The bubbler is used mainly for the distillation of thick brews. Liquid, prepared on the basis of sugar, yeast and water, braga can be processed without this device, but thick with flour, fruit waste, berries and, Moreover, grains, do not cook over direct heat. It cannot be stirred periodically, so, it will be welded, burn, sticking to the walls, bottom, giving moonshine a bitter taste and an unpleasant burnt smell. Attached to the cube barbator avoids these problems.
3. The mash-filter system is a necessary thing when organizing home brewing. This is where malt is mixed with water and the mixture is heated according to a special temperature program.

"Lighthouse" among inexpensive moonshine machines

Fake stainless steel, placed inside the tank at the bottom, turns the cube into a wort-making container. An outlet is located on the top of the false wall or at its end, which is joined by a plastic tube slightly longer than the diameter of the cube. The other end of the tube is put on the drain cock on the inside of the cube. The filter tank for cooking wort is ready.

so, having in the economy such a universal apparatus, as a distilling cube "Absolute", any owner becomes a highly qualified distiller, who can easily make not only pure moonshine with his own hands at home. With an improved cube, it becomes possible to brew your own excellent beer. The best cognac, absinthe, kedrovoчкаka, calvados, gin, whiskey - this is not a complete list of alcoholic beverages, which can be done, having at home a distilling cube "Absolute" and skillful hands.
