What is a distillery
As the time goes, more and more brewers in craft brewery start to ask about the distillery equipment. It is easier to make more kinds of spirit on base of the beer brewery equipment.
But what is a distillery ? Many get it confused with a brewery and they think we are going to brew beer. I like beer and have brewed beer, but I would rather drink it than make it.
A distillery makes hard alcohol like whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, etc. The process of making distilled spirits starts off much of the same as making beer. We start by combining some basic ingredients such as grains, yeast & water. Of course each product’s recipe varies. The grains breakdown and convert the starches to sugars. With the help of the yeast and enzymes the sugar is converted into alcohol. This is where the similarity ends between beer and distilled spirits. Once the yeast and sugar has done their jobs we drain off the spent grains. We take the remaining liquid and pour it into the still. Alcohol's boiling point is lower than water so it vaporizes first. It is then condensing by cooling the vapor, and collecting the resulting liquid commonly known as alcohol.
I’m sure you can tell by now, I am not the expert distiller. This is so very true, but I’m learning from a great teacher. If you want to learn more, I encourage you to visit our factory. We have two big factories with size of 30000M2. I hope that helps clear up some confusing between a brewery—that makes beer and a distillery—that makes hard alcohol.
Enjoy your time of brewing beer and distillery.
Have a wonderful evening,
