Description

Gin production involves repeated distillation of the spirit. First, a distillate is created, usually from grain - other raw materials such as potatoes, corn or sugar beet are also used for cheaper gins. The distillation is repeated through an aroma basket placed in a steam dome or under a rectification column. The basket with juniper, spices and other herbs is removable. The spirit vapours passing through this mixture condense and drip back. This produces a dry gin that is lighter than traditional genever because it is not aged in casks.

Our range of technologies includes double boiler designs with electric heating from 12 to 52 kW depending on the volume. We always consult with the customer on the specific solution, where we address boiler sizes (100 L - 500 L), technology layout and the specification of the entire assembly.

The technology is variable and it is also possible to distil fruit mashes. In order to obtain the best quality gins, we have fitted a 6-angle (alcohol vapour splitter) above the steam dome. The vaporization chamber can be bypassed or connected in any order. Using the interconnecting pipe assembly, the vaporization chamber can be eliminated from the distillation process, or you can eliminate the distillation column and distill through the vaporization chamber only. By changing the direction of the spirit vapor, you can distill any gin you want.

This method of distillation takes place in a column arrangement, where the lower part of the still is heated and then the upper part is used to cool and condense the spirit vapours. These are then returned to the heated mixture and the process is repeated several times. Before or during distillation, an aroma basket containing a mixture of juniper and other aromatic herbs and spices is placed under the column or in the steam domes. The evaporating steam from the heated mixture then passes through this aroma basket or vaporisation chamber and gradually flavours the liquid. The result is a dry gin with a milder flavour.

With this technique, the spirit with the aromatic ingredients is heated directly and distilled in a still boiler. The mixture of herbs and spices is placed in cotton bags in an aroma basket and first heated to a temperature at which evaporation takes place very slowly. This first results in a leaching process similar to brewing tea (the tea bag in the hot water immediately releases its essences), then the heating intensity is increased to allow the rectification to run its full course through the settled aroma basket. In this way, a higher quality and stronger tasting gin is produced.

As you can see there are a plethora of ways to produce gin. It is no wonder that there are so many different variations, flavours and qualities on the market for this type of spirit. Each distillery where gin is produced guards its recipe closely and only lets the public see the generally known processes.
