Sipsmith Specifies Steam for Traditional Still System

摘要

Established in Hammersmith in 2009, Sipsmith Distillery is a small, independent business that, using the first copper still to launch in London for almost 200 years, crafts truly artisanal gins and vodkas of uncompromising quality.The distillery gives female names to each of its stills and the first, Prudence (designed and built by Carl Distilleries near Stuttgart, Germany), originally used electricity to power elements in the steam jacket surrounding it. But, as Sipsmith's exportmarket grew and production increased, the founders realised additional stills were required to meet demand. The company's second still, named Patience, is another 300 liter still that also used electric elements to heat the steam jacket.But it wasn't until a third and larger still - the 1,500 liter Constance - was required that the company decided to switch from an electrically-heated process to one using a steam boiler.
