Essencia Distillers Starter Package
Making your own Spirits and Liqueurs as home is easier than you think. There are four main steps and can be done by anyone.
1st Step- Fermentation
Make the alcohol by mixing sugar and water and then adding a Turbo Yeast, which is a mixture of yeast and yeast food (nutrients). The yeast will convert the sugar to alcohol by a process known as fermentation. We have a variety of Turbo Yeasts to use that will suit your climate and conditions.
2nd Step - Distillation.
Add the fermented mixture to your still. The alcohol is then boiled off and the first portion is separated and discarded before collecting the potable (or drinkable) alcohol.
3rd Step - Filtration.
Add water to bring the strength of your spirit down to 40% ABV. Filter the alcohol with your filter unit. This involves running the spirit through a cartridge packed with a carbon mixture that removes any unwanted tastes and smells.
4th Step - Flavouring.
Pick from our vast range of flavours and simply make whichever Spirit or Liqueur you like to drink. See the full range of flavours in our online shop.
