Question 1

Is there any plastic inside lid? Is the top of inside lid plastic or stainless steel? Thank You

Accepted Answer

Inside of lid is SS.These are super great stills for experimenting with small batches. I highly recommend these stills. Just plug them in & let them go!

Question 2

Is this the 240 or 110 version?

Accepted Answer

This is the 110V version

Question 3

How does this seperate heads, hearts, and tails?

Accepted Answer

You would need to make a call when Heads stops and Hearts begin. Don't worry about the Foreshot, that just leads into the Heads and that's where you have to smell & taste. When the Hearts are done you should be getting towards 20-30 ABV. You would have to make a call here and stop the run..

Question 4

is this appropriate for grape pomace to make grappa? (which is very dry) or does this require the input to be a liquid?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it only works with liquids.  You would need to ferment the grape pomace and strain out the fruit so that it is just a liquid.  Fruit chunks should never be placed in the device.  The output will be very high alcohol, almost without flavor.  The standard Air Still could be a better option for you.
