11. What are stills?

A still is an apparatus which performs all the processes in the distillation process (heating, boiling and cooling), then dispenses your gin for you to enjoy when it is ready. The stills you can book with Nelson’s Distillery are much smaller for casual social consumption. These are easily placed atop wooden countertops for convenient access while seated during our parties/classes.

Each still can only make 1 bottle of Gin or Vodka.

A single still is good for one person while a shared still is good for two people. A mixed still simply means that both a single still and a shared still has been booked.
