This graceful charentais still is a replica of the 20L model that includes a brass valve between the wine preheater and the alembic pot for controlling the wine flow to the main copper distilling pot; making this the smallest example of a fully functional continuous liquid distillation unit. This alembic can be operated on its wood base for the distillation of wines in making excellent cognac brandies, after having aged in oak casks.

This charentais alembic still unit includes:
- copper pot
- swan neck lid with brass connector
- onion shaped pre-heater pot complete, brass tap and connector;
- brass valve between pre-heater and copper distilling unit;
- condensing recipient with a very tightly coiled tubing (condensing coil longer than in
other alembics); water inlet and outlet and an inverted funnel lid (decorative)
- rubber gaskets for brass connectors
- alcohol burner
-Stainless steel 2.5 mm (1”)Thermometer with copper thermowell - perfectly adapted to the size of the alembic with a 1% Accuracy margin- Celsius reading

Treatment: A first cleaning distillation is essential to clean impurities and other unwanted substances. These substances, which are inherent to copper, are deposited after the still has not been in use for a relatively long period of time.
Detailed information will be available to client after purchase is made.
