Stainless steel burning protection 
The safest protection against burning of mash, when distilling, is a water bath still. But with directly heated boilers you must have devices that prevent burning with high security. The first step is to keep the thick components of a mash away from the heated bottom. This is achieved primarily by a mash strainer. But a mash strainer alone is not a 100% burning protection. If the liquid component of a mash still contains starch, the liquid can also burn. To find that out, you should either do an iodine starch test, or cheaper, put a small amount of the liquid mash in a small pot and do a burning test on the stove. If the small amount burns, precautions must be taken.
If you know that you do not use 100% ripe fruit, burn is likely. In this case, it is advisable to use an amylase, which converts residual starch into sugar. This not only reduces the danger of burning, but also increases the yield.
Nevertheless, you should perform the above-mentioned burning test after fermentation. If the sample still tended to burn despite using an amylase, in addition to the mash sieve for instance a mash bag, as we offer it here in different sizes. This can not only keep solid components off the ground, but also filter out residual yeast. The combination of amylase, mash screen and filter bag or filter cloth should prevent burning.

Aroma basket
Is not it just protection against burning, but that either, in Germany only for commercial applications, alcohol vapor flows through fruits or herbs to obtain an aromatized distillate, or steam distillations to produce hydrosol and essential oils to be carried out, which is also in Germany is allowed, one uses a height-adjustable aroma sieve. This is placed in a still above the neutral alcohol or water and filled with fruits, flowers or herbs and will be distilled.

DESTILLIERMEISTER Hobby-E2
Construction of optimized distilleries for over 17 years A registration-free hobby still made of stainless steel. With this beautiful distillery you can make hydrolates, essential oils and distilled water. Easy to use: • approx. Pour 1.7 liters of distilled water into the kettle, • put on the drug basket • fill with herbs or drugs, do not compress, • insert gasket as described below, • put on cover 3. and tighten tension locks 1.1, • insert the distillation bridge 4 into the socket 3.1, • Screw the water hoses to the radiator, connect one end (4.4) to a submersible pump (eg aquarium pump), and the other end (4.5) into the cooling water reservoir. • switch on the heat source and collect at 4.6 hydrolate and oil, • Distill for a maximum of 30 minutes at medium to high heat. The distilling pot and all distillate pipelines are made of stainless steel. The socket for the distillation bridge is made of gunmetal.
The DILLILLIERMEISTER Hobby-E2 is easy to handle. It is ready to use in a few simple steps. For heating, place the distillery on an induction plate. For cooling you need a pot, bucket or bowl of cold water - 10 liters should be enough. With a simple, low-power pump (such as aquarium pump), you can direct water from the reservoir to port 4.4. The hot water leaves the cooling above 4.5. They redirect it back to their water container. Since the cooler is amply sized for its task, a small water flow is sufficient for the cooling.
 

DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-3 Supreme-Plus

Legal and registration-free stainless steel still in heavy quality for essential oils. This still impresses with its particularly solid material quality. With 3 liters of plant space, you have a decent volume in the hobby area to process larger quantities of plants or drugs. By raising the aroma basket (optionally available as an accessory) you can also experiment with smaller quantities, but you should then work with reduced heating power. The steam is generated in an extra boiler under the plant container, so that contact with boiling water can be excluded.
The best thing is: Since the kettle only has a volume of 2 liters despite the large plant container, the DESTILLIERMEISTER E2-3 Supreme-Plus is also legal in Germany and Austria and can be sold and operated without notification to customs.
