SAFETY
- 11 -
To reduce the risk of fire or injury when using your distiller follow these
precautions:
• lf the water/Alcohol Distiller is to be used for making distilled alcohol
beverages , it must be used only by adults of legal drinking age. Never
attempt to operate distiller while under the influence of alcohol , etc.
• consult federal and state laws and obtain any permits required for
distilling alcohol .
• Distilling outdoors is always preferred.
• Never use distiller over an open-flame heat source indoors. An electric
heat source is preferred.
• Never leave hot or boiling liquids on a heat source unattended .
• keep distiller and any heating unit out of reach and away from children .
o use caution when removing Boiler Lid while heating any liquid within
the Boiler.
• To avoid affecting the normal operation of the distiller , it is recommended
not to exceed 70% of the rated volume during distillation .
• Do not heat or boil liquids in the distiller if all openings are blocked or
closed . steam and heat must be allowed to escape through the
• Condenser unit or one of the holes in the Boiler Lid for safe operation.
Failure to do So may result high pressure and explosion.
• Prevent alcohol vapor from leaking from the Distiller Alcohol vapor is
highly explosive.
• Always check for, and address any leaks during the alcohol distilling
process.
• To prevent liquid/mash contents of the boiler pot from overflowing or
being forced up into the condenser copper tube or into the bubble airlock ,
always leave approximately4" of airspace above the top of contents of the
boiler pot.
• RISK OF METHANOL POISONING: Avoid consumption of Methanol
(Methyl Alcohol)!
Methanol can cause blindness and be fatal . carefully follow precautions in
recipes for distilled beverages. Discard the first 4- 7 oz (100 -200ml) of
liquid as it comes out of the condenser Distillate outlet , for of each 5
- 12 -
gallons (20L) of fermented "mash " . These first ounces are often referred
to as " heads" or fore-shots" . DO NOT CONSUME THEM .

Equipment cleaning and Maintenance
The distiller needs to clean the inside of its pot, condenser and other
components before or after each use , and drain all the impurities inside it.
After we have used the distilled water dispenser, we need to clean it every
- 14 -
once in a while. pay attention to cleaning the inner wall of its evaporation
pot, the inner wall of the condenser, the surface of the condenser tube and
the scale in the outlet pipe of the condenser. Avoid affecting its use.
For some newly purchased stills , we need to clean them first and power
them on for more than 2 hours to evaporate until the obtained distilled
water meets the requirements. Remember not to cut off the water during
use .
Note that when the distilled device is working , its surface temperature
will be very high , So be careful not to touch it to prevent being scalded.
please wait until the temperature drops to normal temperature before
cleaning.
USING YOUR WATER/ALCOHOL DISTILLER
Before making your first fermented and distilled beverages , or distilling
water, perform the followings:
• wash all parts of your distiller with hot water and dish soap and dry
completely.
• perform a "vinegar Run " described in the Distilling section .
• If distilling water only, perform a "water Run " by distilling 1 gallon or more
of clean water, which will be discarded .
• Your Distiller can be used for the fermentation process , and then used for
the addition process.
• For fermenting , use the Fermenting configuration , for Distilling use the
Distilling configuration.
• This product manual is not a complete guide to fermenting and distilling In
order to produce a satisfying and safe product suitable for adult
consumption , please consult books , recipes , and how-to resources and
videos on-line , in bookstores and libraries.
• Caution: RISK OF METHANOL POISONING
• Avoid consumption of Methanol (Methyl Alcohol)! Methanol can cause
blindness and be fatal .
• Carefully follow precautions in recipes for distilled beverages. Discard

the first4-7 oz (100 - 200ml) of liquid as it comes out of the condenser
Distillate outlet , for of each 5 gallons (20L) of fermented " mash " . These
first ounces are often referred to as "heads " or "foreshots" . DO NOT
CONSUME THEM.
MAKING DISTILLED SPIRITS:
A2 stage process: Fermenting &Distilling STAGE1 : FERMENTATION
• Fermenting beverages into wine or beer is the first step to then producing
brandy, whiskey origin.
• The next step is distilling the results of fermentation , resulting in greater
concentrations of alcohol , and refinement of color and flavors. Distilling the
result a second time further concentrates alcohol and clarity.
• Fermentation is the process of microorganisms , usually yeast ,
• converting (metabolizing) sugars into carbon dioxide and alcohol . The
carbon dioxide bubbles out of the beverage , leaving behind alcohol .
• Beer, Ale and wine are fermented beverages which are complete at this
stage. They do not need to go through the second stage: distillation .
• A wide variety of foods can be fermented . Grains such as corn , wheat ,
barley, or rye , are used for many beverages , such as beer and whiskey.
Fruits , sugars , rice , and molasses are most often used to make
wine,brandy, rum , and other spirits. potatoes are used to create vodka.
• You can use a separate large container for fermenting The fermentation
process happens over several days or weeks. You may wish to keep your
Distiller available for distilling only. use clean glass , stainless steel or
food-safe ceramic or plastic containers. It's helpful to have 2 or more
containers available.
SETTING UP FOR FERMENTING
• Wash all parts with dish soap and hot water before assembling.

STAGE 2: DISTILLING
Distillation of fermented beverages is the process of concentrating the
alcoholic content by separating much of the alcohol from the fermented
product. Slowly heating the fermented beverage in the Distillation causes
the alcohol to vaporize, rise into the Copper Coil and then be cooled as it
travels through the condenser. The alcohol in the fermented beverage
turns to vapor at about 173°F, before the water content of the beverage
turns to steam at 212°F. As the alcohol cools, it drips from the Condenser
Distillate Outlet.
This more pure form of alcohol dipping from the Distillate Outlet (after the
initial 4- 7 oz) is ethanol.
Read the caution about methanol(See Distillation Configuration)
SET UP WATER FLOW TO CONDENSER
Provide a continuous source of cold water to the condenser pot. The
cold water flowing into the condenser pot cools the distillate flowing
through the copper coil . There are two methods:
Method 1 . Home faucet method:
Locate lose end of the condenser's "water out" tube . Attach a hose
connector (not included) to it.
Attach hose connector your home faucet.
place the loose end of the "water out" tube to drain into sink basin .

Method 2. Water reservoir method:
Recirculate cold water from a cold-water reservoir: Fill a large container
with cold water.
Place a submersible pump (included) into the container.
Connect the pump to the "Water In” Tube, which is connected to the
Condenser.
The Condenser's "Water Out" Tube will drain into the container.
