The Keg Kit for our Essential Extractor PSII High Volume Gin Series Distiller includes all of the items in our Complete Unit, with a Keg Adapter (including clamp and o-ring for keg) in place of our kettle. The high-capacity column is 3" in diameter, allowing you to distill at more than twice the speed of standard 2" distillation columns while maintaining the highest possible purity.

Brewhaus' Essential Extractor Pro Series II High Volume Gin Series column features a unique 4-piece design that enables the distiller to perform either pot distillation, reflux distillation, or infusions in one step. Use the full-length, 4-piece column for reflux mode (e.g., fuel alcohol, vodka) or infusions, or just use one column section for pot mode (e.g., essential oils, whisky, water).

About the Pro Series' Cooling System:
By placing the cooling lines near the top of the distillation column, reflux is created where it is intended- at the top of the tower. This allows for the most effective use of the column filling by causing the refluxed liquid to flow down through it, resulting in a cleaner distillate. Crossing the cooling lines instead of leaving them parallel results in a much more efficient cooling system, requiring less cooling water while maintaining effectiveness. And, by having the cooling system in direct contact with the rising vapor you achieve a far more efficient and effective cooling than systems that surround a column with a cooling water jacket. The slow heat transfer rate through the thick column wall is much less efficient, and concentrates all of the cooling ability around the outside of the distiller column. The result of jacketed columns is liquid channeling down the walls of the column, while not cooling the majority of the vapor as it is not in contact with the column wall. While such a system may operate faster, it is at the expense of quality. Learn more about the design of this forced reflux still here.
