50L COMPLETE Charentais Still

🍇 50L COMPLETE Charentais Still with Wine Preheater

Discover this 50-litre Charentais still, inspired by the traditional design of soldered stills. It is particularly suitable for distilling wine and other fermented mashes. Its integrated Wine Preheater uses the heat from the vapour produced during distillation to preheat the mash before it enters the main boiler. 🔥

⚙️ Efficient preheating system

During distillation, the generated vapour is used to preheat the mash held in the Wine Preheater tank. Depending on operating conditions, this system can help reduce distillation time and make more efficient use of energy.
