The distillation process involves preparing the distiller by ensuring it is clean and packing clean copper packing material onto the distiller column. An auto-siphon is attached from the fermentation mash bag to the pot still. The heat of the still begins to rise in temperature to start boiling the solution to bring the alcohol and water to their respective boiling points. The heat is kept constant to achieve a final heat of 170 degrees F, at which point the vodka starts to be produced in slow 1-3 drip intervals.
