Essential Extractor Gin Series - Complete

Kettle Selection
All Brewhaus kettles include an aluminum diffuser plate.  This helps diffuse the heat to avoid 'hot spots' and scorching, and also protects the bottom of the kettle from damage due to excessive heat.

8 Gallon Standard Kettle
The standard kettle is the lowest cost option, and works well for most people.  However, it can be more difficult to clean, with the only access being through the ferrule in the top of the kettle.  The standard kettle will work on conventional heat sources and induction heat sources.

8 Gallon Premium Kettle
This is the most popular kettle option.  It is made with heavier-gauge metal than the standard kettle, and has a removable lid to give full access to the kettle for easy cleaning.  The Sure Seal_TM lid gives a vapour-tight seal, and the wide base and low height make this kettle more stable than most other kettle designs.  A higher grade of stainless steel makes the premium kettle extremely corrosion resistant, however, the use of such a high grade of stainless steel makes this kettle unusable on induction heat.

15 Gallon Induction Kettle
The 15 gallon premium kettle is made using the same moulds and grade of stainless steel as the 8 gallon premium kettle.  The 15 gallon kettle is approximately 10" taller than the 8 gallon kettle, nearly doubling the total volume.

Premium Kettle

Add-ons

1" NPT Couplings
NPT Couplings can be added to your premium kettle to allow you the option of using internal heating elements to heat your distiller.  Because of the lighter-gauge material, couplings cannot be added to our standard kettles.

1" NPT Plugs
NPT plugs can be used to seal NPT couplings when they are not in use.

Column Packing

Copper Mesh
Copper mesh is our most popular column packing as copper can neutralize sulfur compounds formed during fermentation as the vapour flows through it.  If kept clean, copper column packing can last a very long time.

Ceramic Raschig Rings
Ceramic Raschig Rings offer the greatest combination of surface area and void space (air space), resulting in slightly higher proof from most reflux distillations.  They are much easier to keep clean than copper mesh, and can last almost forever.

Thermometer

Laboratory Thermometer
This is a standard grade, liquid filled thermometer.  It reads in both Fahrenheit (0^oF - 230^oF) and Celsius (-10^oC - 110^oC).

Digital Thermometer
This is a standard grade digital thermometer with a swivel head.  It reads in both Fahrenheit (-58^oF - 572^oF) and Celsius (-50^oC - 300^oC).

Solar Digital Thermometer
The Solar Digital Thermometer is a high-grade meter with a high degree of accuracy (+/-1%).  It has a stainless steel body and probe, with a swivel heat and built-in 1/2" NPT coupling.  The Solar Digital Thermometer runs on solar power with a battery backup.  The Fahrenheit version has a range of -50^oF - 320^oF, and the Celsius version has a range of -50^oC - 160^oC.

The Solar Digital Thermometer upgrade includes the Solar Digital Thermometer, Tri-Clamp End Cap with 1/2" NPT coupling, Tri-Clamp, Gasket, and the addition of a Tri-Clamp ferrule to the top of the distiller column.

Stainless Steel Chain

Stainless Steel Chain
If you are selecting the standard kettle then the stainless steel chain can be very useful for cleaning the kettle if anything gets scorched or dried onto the inside of the kettle.  Simply drop the chain into the kettle, add water, and 'swish' it around.  The chain will act as a pot scrubber, but will not introduce iron to the surface of the kettle.

Stainless Steel Parrot

Stainless Steel Parrot
The Stainless Steel Parrot enables you to take real-time proof readings when you distill alcohol by connecting the parrot to the output from your distiller.
