The majority of the stills used today are plated stills and pot stills. Hybrid stills, like iStill’s original design, find their fanbase mostly among early adopters, not the industry majority.
Plated stills have columns with plates in them. The plates help redistill the base beer or wine into a higher proof New Make in one go. Bubble cap plates offer fixed liquid baths above the plates, hampering tails smearing and making post-run cleaning more difficult. Perforated plates offer more flexible liquid baths above the plates, allowing for both some early tails smearing and easy cleaning.
Up until now, iStill has sought to innovate everything, combining newly developed automated control systems with new packed column designs.
