Bain Marie Alembic Still is quite similar to normal alembics, with the difference that it has a double bottom and is particularly suitable for the distillation of spirits distilled from a fermented mash containing large amount of sugar.
The system is designed with a double bottom, also called "bain marie", which means a water bath. Water is poured into the outer casing or the chamber of the kettle, while the fermented mash goes into the inner chamber. The outer chamber is fitted with a simple valve for regulating the pressure and temperature. The double-bottom system works in a perfectly simple way, with the heat at the source (gas burner, a fireplace with firewood) transferred to the outer chamber, and this heats the inner chamber evenly on all sides. The system with the double bottom prevents the alcoholic mash, or its sugars to be burned in the distiller, and thus destroy the taste of brandy. Due to the double bottom we do not need additional nets that would be erected at the bottom of the distiller. For a more precise distillation there is a thermometer on the head of the distiller.
