Self-breeding in Russia has a long tradition.Even in Soviet times, the most demanding of the quality of alcohol part of the population produced their own strong drinks in apartments, cottages, private homes, etc. Today the picture repeats itself. Permissiveness, the absence of strict control over regulations, the fight against counterfeit, conducted, we will call things by their own names, after sleeves, leads to the fact that alcoholic products not only do not meet the demands of the population, but sometimes also pose a threat to health and life. But if in the times of developed socialism on the gas stoves in the homes of home-brewers there were handicrafts made of milk flasks, containers of portable milking machines, cast iron, etc., today their place is quietly occupied by handsome men of stainless steel equipped with thermometers, factory registration. The self-made device "Domovyonok" is an example.
A good "tool of labor" is already 50% of the success of the moonshiner. The homemade device "Domovyonok" is made of food grade stainless steel. This is not the cheapest material, but the costs are fully justified.
Moonshine - a product that does not tolerate a careless approachto the choice of packaging. Cheap plastic, rubber, raw iron, technical copper, as well as other "wrong" materials, can easily erase all the efforts of the moonshiner. The distillation process has one feature. After condensation in the moonshine, as in the photo after the development, smells of everything with what the product contacted in the production process come to light.
That's why moonshine, produced on forestunderground mini-factories, is not distinguished by a fragrance (fermentation in plastic or kapron tanks, a distillation cube is an iron steel barrel without an internal coating).
In order to have home-made drinks smell and taste of this moonshine, and not burnt plastic, the homeowner "Domovyonok" is made only of proven, GOST-approved food materials.
Only Russian vodka, sold in ourstores, has a rectification origin. And then, as is known, this name means the drink is undeservedly. Real Russian vodka is nothing more than a refined grain mug of a double sublimation.
To moonshine was pleased with the taste and pleasant aroma, the moonshine machine should have:
The product from the coil should not be dripping hot,continuing to evaporate, - it must flow cold. The design of the coolers of this model is constructed in such a way that cold water through thin walls very effectively takes heat from the vapors of alcohol, condensing them and eliminating losses.
2. Dry container.
Thanks to this simple device moonshineget stronger and cleaner. Part of the water with a small amount of alcohol in the form of condensate settles in a dry cell and is used as raw material for the next race. The drywall excludes the ingress of braga, which sometimes boils heavily, into the finish product.
According to the logic of things, the homeowner "Domovionok-1"As the first in the model line should be the simplest in design. It was not there. For novice moonshiners, you can recommend a third model - a classic moonshine, which has no options, except for elementary distillation.
It should be noted that under certain conditionsjust a simple technique is optimal. When, for example, moonshine is chased from high-quality excellent raw materials (malt, fruit brag, etc.), and you want to preserve the entire bouquet of aromas as much as possible, excessive cleaning will be harmful.
The self-made device "Domovyonok" of the first model -a real mini-distillery. The structure of the dry cell resembles a distillation column in miniature. Combining and directing the flow of vapor from the still, can operate in either a simple distillation, and obtain the crude alcohol 80% strength.
An important detail of the moonshine -evaporator (distillation cube). Manufacturers of elite strong spirits, even in the form of a cube, attach great importance. It is believed that even a small dent on the body of the peregonka brings to the bouquet of the drink its subtle notes.
It is the shape of the evaporator that differs from "Domovionok-2".The self-contained apparatus is equipped with a compact distillation cube that will work remarkably even in the cramped conditions of a conventional small kitchen. In the rest, the second model repeats the first one, it allows to produce both simple moonshine and rectification product.
It is worthwhile to dwell on the fifth model ofrulers "are self-governing". This classic distiller is essentially a distillation column thanks to simple but effective performance solutions.
The homemade device "Domovionok-5" was made according tothe classical reflux condenser circuit. Due to the modified form of the reflux condenser in the form of a distillation column and a volume refrigerator with a settling tank 50 mm high, the fifth model gives an alcoholic strength of about 70-80% at the outlet.
Impressive and the quality of cleaning the product: the opposite spirit of cheap moonshine is not in sight.
What do they say about the device "Domovyonok"? Samogonny device reviews are different - it all depends on the model, and on the experience of the moonshiner and the type of alcohol obtained.
Fans of a good grain moonshine (withspecific odor) give excellent reviews about the device "Domovyonok-3" - this is the moonshine device in its pure form. In the design there is nothing superfluous. It is easy to use and familiar to old moonshakers of the Soviet school. Particularly like the simplicity of the device and the maximum ability to preserve the aromas of the raw materials.
"Domovionok-3" is purchased mainly by residentscities that praise him for small dimensions, which allow to store the product in a city apartment. It is also important to organize production in a small kitchen.
I must say that the first and second models are more oftenbuy people who have achieved certain success in brewing, wishing to raise a little bit the bar of their skills, diversify the opportunities and varieties of products. As already noted, the design of the cooler and the dry cell, the ability to combine the flow of vapors allow you to get both moonshine in its pure form and raw spirit.
