	Spirits - LoveToKnow 1911
		A distiller must give notice of the erection of new plant or apparatus, of the time of brewing, of the removing of sugar from store or of yeast from wort or wash, of the making of "bub," of the locking of the spirit receiver supply pipe, andc.
		The residue in the wash still is termed "pot ale" or "spent wash," the residue contained in the wash, and secondly to rectify it.
		The distillation is sometimes carried out with naked fire, but more generally by means of steam which is passed into the wash (termed "beer" in America), either in a free state or by means of a coil, and then collecting the spirit, after condensing and subsequently rectifying by means of a second distillation (termed "doubling").

		In such cases the wash is generally allowed to stand, and the clearer portion drawn off, and run to waste, whilst the thick matters in suspension are precipitated, pressed in bags, and sold as “slummage " for mixture with cattle food.
		The separation of yeast from the fermenting wash and its purification for use by bakers is now a very important branch of the distilling industry, and, though by no means a new one has been of comparatively recent introduction into Ireland.
		A distiller is allowed by the excise regulations to remove from a wash back any quantity of yeast not exceeding 10 per cent.

		This special blend of carbons continually treats the wash during fermentation to ensure less by-products in the final wash. The activated carbons used have tightly controlled pore size distribution to trap those by-product compounds known to produce off flavours in the wash which will carry over in distillation.
		Distilling a cleaner wash not only reduces the direct distilling by-products but also reduces off flavours from cooked by-products.
		Treating the wash with Turbo Clear before distilling, further improves the quality of the distillate by removing solids that can be cooked by the element during distilling.

	Distillation - Alcohol Distilling Terms Glossary : from Diastase to Wort (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Foreshots is the term applied to the first fraction of the distillate received during the distillation of the low wines in the Spirit Still used in the Pot Still process of manufacture.
		In whisky distilling it refers to the process which takes place during the malting and mash-tun stages by which enzymes in the malt, referred to as diastase, turn the starch in the cereals into sugar ready for the fermenting action of the yeast.
		It is the wash which forms the raw material of the first distillation in the Pot Still process and of the only distillation in the Patent Still process.

		As the wash boils, vapours pass up the neck of the still and then pass through a water-cooled condenser or a worm, a coiled copper pipe of decreasing diameter enclosed in a water jacket through which cold water circulates.
		The liquor remaining in the Wash Still is known as pot ale or burnt ale and is usually treated and converted into distillers’ solubles for animal feed.
		The low wines are distilled again in the Spirit Still, similar in appearance and construction to the Wash Still but smaller because the bulk of liquid to be dealt with is less.

	Solvent distillation equipment distillation equipment for distilling solvents, solvent recycling
		Distillation equipment is used for solvent recycling; to close loop your waste streams for inks, solvents, paints, or most any wash solution.
		Utilizing vacuum distillation equipment, the boiling point of the solvent is lowered, decreasing the temperature necessary for distillation of the solvent.
		For Acetone distillation, you would not want to use a vacuum system because the boiling point of acetone is so low that vacuum system would not allow for proper condensing of the acetone vapor.

		Rum was distilled in New England in the early 17th century, and distillation also took place in New York as early as 1640.
		The earliest devices for distillation consisted of a closed, heated container, a long tube (known as a condenser) through which the alcohol vapor could cool and turn back into a liquid, and a receptacle to catch the alcohol.

		The wash has now been prepared (a wash is known as a mixture of sugar, water, yeast and nutrients (they feed the yeast) fermented together to produce alcohol).
		The wash is put in the base of the still and heated until the liquid starts to vaporise.
		Please note with both pot and reflux still designs it is not possible to achieve a 100% recovery of the ethanol in the wash being distilled, rather an 70-80% recovery is achievable with a home still.

	Distillery Profile: Glenrothes New and Old
		Traditional wooden wash backs are made from a number of staves, which are held in place by different sized metal hoops.
		At Glenrothes, however, the wash backs are held together by a fairly unique system of steel ropes, which have a mechanism enabling them to be adjusted periodically.
		Used in exactly the same way as the wooden wash backs they hold the 'wort', yeast is added and the fermentation process begins, converting the sugars present into alcohol.

		When it comes to distilling, the wash is pumped into patent stills, which consist of two large, connected and parallel columns, called the analyser and rectifier.
		What happens in the patent still is that the wash enters at the top and runs down through a series of perforated copper plates.
		As it moves through the still it is met by steam, which separates the alcohol from the wash, carrying it into the second column where the process is repeated before condensation into spirit occurs.

	Home Distillation of Alcohol (Homemade Alcohol to Drink)
		If you collect the distillate in small amounts (say 1/2 L or so), you can segregate the drinkable spirit from that with fusels in; the latter can be added to the next wash, and be collected cleanly then.
		Now, that distillate should be plenty flavourfull but in some regions more ripened plums are added to the distillate to further enhance the plum flavour.For me, it is all about flavour, so I go for the fruit or grain.
		In the first distillation you should be left with 65 volumes of "pot ale" at the bottom of the still with less than 0.1%abv to be sold as high protien animal feed.

		Yeast cells in the wash are responsible for turning sugar into alcohol and also produce many of the congeners that give whisky its flavour.
		By and large, fermentation in a wash is first due to yeast cells.
		Different yeast strains are known to add congeners in different proportions, but, as only few yeast strains are used in the whisky industry, variation in yeast strains is unlikely to lead to significant taste variation.
