The decision whether to use reflux still or pot still (also known as whiskey still) when distilling your alcohol very much depends on the kind of product you intend to make (please read on further). For getting drunk, either one works well. The advantage of doing this is that it will result in a clean vodka, with little flavor to it - ideal for mixing with flavors etc. The taller the packed column, and the more reflux liquid, the purer the product will be. This "reflux" of liquid helps clean the rising vapor and increase the % purity. If this distillate were run through the pot still again, it would increase in purity to around 70-85% purity, but it would also lose a bit of its flavor.Ī REFLUX or PLATED still does multiple distillations in one single pass, by having some packing in a column between the condenser & the pot, and allowing some of the vapor to condense and trickle back down through the packing. This will result in an alcohol at about 40-60% purity, with plenty of flavor in it. So whats the difference between a pot still and a reflux still?Ī POT still simply collects and condenses the alcohol vapors that come off the boiling mash.
