Alcohol Distillation: How Alcohol
           Distillation Works
The alcohol
distillation
process is one
of the most
important steps
when making
certain kinds of
alcohol.
Alcohol Distillation: How Alcohol
                Distillation Works
    Without distillation we wouldn’t have many of the types
    of alcoholic beverages we know today including:

•   Brandy
•   Gin
•   Rum
•   Tequila
•   Vodka
•   Whisky
Alcohol Distillation: How Alcohol
                   Distillation Works

What is distillation?
 Distillation is a method of separating liquids that a mixed together.

How does distillation work?
 The process of distillation is simple. Different liquids reach a boiling point at different
 temperatures. Put simply, distillation uses differences in boiling points to separate
 liquids.
 Let’s see how alcohol distillation in particular works:
 Alcohol boils at : 173ºF
 Water boils at : 212ºF
 So, if you have a mixture of both water and alcohol using alcohol distillation
 you can raise the temperature of the mixture to the boiling point of alcohol.
 Which is 173ºF.
Alcohol Distillation: How Alcohol
                   Distillation Works
By raising our mixture to the boiling point of alcohol ( 173ºF) the alcohol only will begin to
boil turning it into vapor while leaving the water still in a liquid state. This is because the
alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water.

Pot Still
A pot still is the tool used during the alcohol distillation process. Our mixture of water and
alcohol is heated to the boiling point of alcohol within the pot still.

The vapors from the boiling alcohol are captured and then cooled to a point that it turns back
into liquid form.

As a result, the cooled substance has a much higher alcohol content than the original mixture.
This process can be repeated over again to create a higher concentration of alcohol.

                 Distillation Works
How a pot still works
1. Mixture with alcohol.
2. Vapors from the boiling
   alcohol after heating to
   173ºF.
3. The captured vapors pass
   through coiled copper tubing
   which is submerged in cold
   water.
4. The coiled tubing and cold
   water cool the vapors back to
   a liquid form.
5. The resulting liquid is much
   higher in alcohol content
   than the previous mixture.
