Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of distillation technology, and in particular to a still for distilling alcohol. Background Technology

[0002] "Steamed liquor" is the name given to distilled spirits by the Nu and Lisu ethnic groups along the Nujiang River in Yunnan. The name originates from the steaming process, a key step in the brewing process. The primary raw material for distilled spirits is corn, but sorghum, rice, buckwheat, and millet are also used. The production process is largely similar to that of Yi ethnic minority small-pot liquor, with the steps of soaking the grains, steaming the rice, and storing for fermentation being identical. However, the equipment used for distilling the spirits differs. The Nu and Lisu use a still made from hollowed-out old tree logs, with a small hole in the upper middle section into which a thin bamboo tube is inserted—this is the outlet. When the bottom of the still is heated, the vapor rises, condenses upon cooling, and falls into a receiving vessel during brewing, then flows out through the outlet—this is the finished distilled spirit. The first distilled spirit to be produced has a higher alcohol content and stronger alcohol. As the steaming time increases, the alcohol content gradually decreases, with the later distillations becoming increasingly bland. A still is necessary during the distillation process.

[0003] However, in practical applications, it is impossible to monitor and add water to the still, which can lead to dry burning inside the still. This will affect the subsequent distillation process, reduce the quality of the liquor, and also reduce the ease of use of the still. Utility Model Content
