Do you think putting some copper rings in the Air Still will do anything.

After each run you should put them in a little Citric Acid to get rid of the deposits.

I've discovered recently just how much difference a little copper can make even in an Airstill. You didn't say what kind of still you're running, or if you did I missed it, but if you go to this link http://www.stillsmart.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=956 read the posts there and click on the pictures and take a good close-up look I think you'll understand what I mean. :P

I don't put copper in on the stripping run but every spirit run has a handful of copper rings and a section of copper mesh to strip out sulfides and other nasties that might otherwise end up in your final spirit. :-\

Let me know if you need anything else.

Yep! Metalmickey's suggestion is on the money! or why not try a non-turbo yeast. Vodka Star from Alcotec says turbo on the pack but its not really a turbo. It does do a nice clean job - just put some copper in the still when running final spirits run!

Hi Aidan
You say put some copper in the still. Can you explain a bit on this. Ta Norm

hi thanks for that link, a bit heavy on the old wallet will try a different yeast or more carbon in the wash


I think you missed what YHB's reply was pointing you to when you said "a bit heavy on the old wallet". Have a look over this diagram

Diagram created by mozr.
This shows the basics of how to properly process a 25lt wash through an Airstil and it doesn't cost anything!

Your description suggests that how you're running the wash is causing of the probs you're having.

Hope you enjoy the forum.

I am not an Air Distiller but I think that this post will help you improve the quality of your product.

Have a read, many others agree that the process is a vast improvement over the method published with the still.
