LEONARDO® still CLASSIC or GRANDE
The still is made of solid, high-quality copper. The LEONARDO® still was designed by us and is optimally designed from a process technology perspective. It is manufactured exclusively for us. The still corresponds to the construction plans of Leonardo da Vinci from the 15th century for making essential oils and hydrosols with the highest possible yield.
There is a flavor basket above the bottom of the kettle. Hence, the material being distilled, i.e. the flowers, herbs, seeds, roots or other plant materials, does not come into contact with the water during distillation, only with the STEAM. This results in particularly high-quality essential oils and hydrosols.
The cooler has inlet and outlet nozzles for connection to a water tap. On the inside the inlet nozzles reach down to the bottom of the cooler in order to ensure complete circulation of the cooling water. To go with this, a meter-long piece of silicon tube is included. Tube connectors and tubes with different diameters are available in DIY markets and aquarium shops. It is also possible to operate the cooling system by means of a recirculation pump (not included in delivery), similar to indoor fountains. The cooler is open on top, so it is also possible to operate the still without running water. In this case, simply pour cold water into the cooler from the top in order to exchange the cooling water.
Due to the flat kettle bottom, the still can be placed directly on a gas or electric stove. No additional burner is required. A wood stove (kitchen stove) or open fire are naturally also suitable as heat sources.
The still is made of hammered copper to increase the strength and chemical resistance. When the individual parts are connected together, the still is sealed, and no replacement parts or gaskets are required.
Since the stills are handmade, each LEONARDO® is in fact unique. To prevent mixing up the exact-fitting individual parts if you have multiple stills of the same type, they are marked individually with embossed stamps.
The still is delivered with detailed operating instructions.
The vapor condenses in a copper dome (topmost container). Due to this short vapor and cooling path, a very rich hydrosol is created, and there are no losses of the valuable oil during cooling, as there are for example in a cooling coil.
With the LEONARDO®, the complete interior including the cooler and run-off groove can be reached by hand. Therefore the still can be cleaned effortlessly on the inside and outside without any residue in no time at all with a cleaning sponge and dish soap. Nothing is more annoying than impurities in the distillate simply because certain areas of the still are not accessible. The best thing for cleaning the distillate drain tube is the matching tube brush.
The still deliberately has NO automatic oil separator or separating funnel. First of all, this is because considerable quantities of oil stick to the insides of this type of equipment, so no oil is lost unnecessarily. Secondly, because some oils are heavier than water (e.g. cinnamon, cloves, alant root, balsam poplar and so on), and thirdly because the container with the hydrosol and essential oil should be stored for at least several weeks BEFORE separation in order to obtain the highest possible quality oils and hydrosols. Apart from this, the hydrosols obtained from the LEONARDO® are so intensive that , depending on the plant type, they often exhibit very opaque and milky cloudiness, or there are accumulations of oil drops in the bottom area. Hence, with automatic oil separation, considerable amounts of the valuable oil would not be separated. Even with crystal clear hydrosols, you should wait at least several hours before you separate the oil from the hydrosol.
In our book The Essential Oil Maker’s Handbook (not included in delivery), you will find many tips and guides that go far beyond the operating instructions such as, for example, the right part of the plant, the optimum harvest and harvesting time (time of day) and the best processing methods for more than 140 native and exotic plants in order to obtain the most intensive hydrosol possible and high oil yields. Furthermore, there are more than 50 basic recipes for using the essential oils and hydrosols. The selection ranges from products for facial and body care, liqueurs, spiced oils, flavoring for tea, and inhalations to room sprays, sauna infusions and perfume.
Kettle size, filling volume, distillation time
LEONARDO® Classic, kettle size: 2 liters
Filling volume, water: 1.5 l
Filling volume, material to be distilled (vapor space): 3.6 l
Remaining vapor space: 0.6 l
Distillation time with an electric 1500 W single hotplate: 35 to 45 minutes (including the heating-up time)
Dimensions: width 21 cm, length 27 cm, height 47 cm
LEONARDO® Grande, kettle size: 2 liters
Filling volume, water: 1.5 - 2.0 l
Filling volume, material to be distilled (vapor space): 6.5 l
Remaining vapor space: 0.6 l
Distillation time with an electric 1500 W single hotplate: 35 to 45 minutes (including the heating-up time)
Dimensions: width 25 cm, length 40 cm, height 53 cm
Which LEONARDO® is best suited to you, the CLASSIC or GRANDE?
If you have smaller quantities of plants, e.g. 1 to 2 herb bushes per plant variety, then the LEONARDO® CLASSIC is completely adequate. On the other hand, the GRANDE makes more sense for larger quantities of plants, so you don’t have to perform multiple distillation processes with the same plant material. However, if you work mainly with plants that have very low oil content, such as roses, wild herbs, lemon balm, chamomile, and so on, then the GRANDE is the right choice. This is because only with a suitable amount of plants in the still will you also obtain the most intensive hydrosol possible, and actually also obtain essential oils from these plants. If you only want to make hydrosols and consider the essential oil to be a welcome by-product, then the right still size depends exclusively on the amount of plants available to you.

The still corresponds to the construction plans of Leonardo da Vinci from the 15th century for making essential oils and hydrosols with the highest possible yield.
Filling volume of water is 2 liters, therefore the still is free of registration !
The still can be filled with 5 or 12 liters of plant material. The size can be changed very easily, thus you can operate the device with two different filling volumes (original Malle-Schmickl distilling devices system), avoiding empty inner space, which would result in lower yield and reduce the intensity of the hydrosol. Both sizes are included in scope of delivery.

Schlangenkühler oder Kuppelkühler?
Zur Alkoholdestillation ist der Schlangenkühler aufgrund seiner starken Kühlwirkung am besten geeignet. Ein äußerst zuverlässiger Kühler, der alle Bereiche der Alkoholdestillation abdeckt.
Zur Herstellung von ätherischen Ölen und Hydrolaten hat diese Kühlerart jedoch den Nachteil, dass geringe Ölmengen (einige Tropfen) in der Schlange hängenbleiben, was bei Pflanzen mit geringer Ölausbeute (Rosen, Zitronenmelisse, german. Kamille, viele Wildkräuter) die gesamte Ausbeute umfasst. Werden Pflanzen mit höherem Ölgehalt destilliert, wie z.B. Lavendel, beträgt mit dem 5-Liter-Kessel die Ölausbeute 15 – 20 ml. In solchen Fällen ist der Verlust in der Kühlschlange selbstverständlich zu vernachlässigen. Nach der Destillation kann die Schlange durch Spülen, beispielsweise mit hochprozentigem Alkohol, gereinigt werden. Eine Kuppelkühlung hat hingegen den Vorteil, dass einerseits das gesamte Öl verlustfrei in die Vorlagenflasche rinnt und andererseits dieser Kühler innen (!!!) mühelos per Hand gereinigt werden kann , einfach mit Geschirrspülmittel und Putzschwämmchen.
Mögliche Variationen
Der Schlangenkühler und der Kuppelkühler aus der Produktlinie Suprema-Flexi (siehe Destillen SUPREMA bzw. LEONARDO® Flexi) können mit anderen Anlageteilen folgendermaßen kombiniert werden :

Still SUPREMA (2 or 5 Liters)
IN PROGRESS, WILL BE TRANSLATED SHORTLY.
Bei der Schnapsbrennanlage SUPREMA ist nicht nur der Kessel austauschbar (2- oder 5-Liter-Kessel) , es passt auch das Verlängerungsstück und der Kuppelkühler der LEONARDO® Flexi dazu, und somit auch die Verstärkerkolonne. Diese Anlage ist mit verschiedenen Teilen der Produktlinie Suprema-Flexi nachrüstbar , sodass Sie damit aromatische Schnäpse brennen, ätherische Öle und Hydrolate destillieren, sowie reinen, hochprozentigen Alkohol herstellen können. Die Anlage kann also an die jeweiligen Destillationsanforderungen flexibel angepasst werden.
Die Destille besteht aus massivem, hochwertigem Kupfer . Kupfer hat im Vergleich zu Stahl oder Glas folgende Vorteile:
Das bei Steinobstbränden entstehende Cyanid bzw. Ethylcarbamat (EC) wird durch den Kontakt mit Kupfer zuverlässig abgebaut. Daher ist bei großen Destillen zur Obstbrandherstellung der Helm mit Kupfer ausgekleidet.
Bei Stärkemaischen, wie zur Whiskyherstellung, werden olfaktorisch bemerkbare Schwefelverbindungen im Destillat vermieden. Daher sind schottische Whisky-Destillen ebenfalls komplett aus Kupfer gefertigt.
Ätherische Öle und Hydrolate aus Kupferdestillen sind sinnlicher, betörender und reichhaltiger, “voller” im Bouquet.
Beim Einsatz in Wasser-, Öl- oder Sandbädern bewirkt die bessere Wärmeleitfähigkeit eine kürzere Reaktionszeit auf Temperaturänderungen.
Die Anlage wurde von uns entwickelt und ist verfahrenstechnisch optimal ausgelegt. Das Brenngerät wird exklusiv für uns angefertigt .
Die Anlage kann mit jeder Art von Heizquelle betrieben werden, sei es Elektrokochplatte, Ceranfeld, Gas, Spirituskocher oder offenes Feuer. Wasser-, Öl- oder Sandbäder sind selbstverständlich ebenfalls möglich. Für Induktionsplatten sind im Fachhandel Induktions-Adapterplatten erhältlich.
Zur Kühlung dient ein Schlangenkühler , ein ca. 1 m langes, spiralförmig gebogenes Kupferrohr in einem Kupferbehälter für 2,6 Liter Kühlwasser. Mit dem mitgelieferten Silikonschlauch (1 m) kann an den Ein- und Auslassstutzen für Kühlwasser eine Wasserleitung oder eine kleine Umwälzpumpe für Zimmerbrunnen (nicht im Lieferumfang) angeschlossen werden. Der Behälter ist oben offen, um gegebenenfalls das Kühlwasser manuell tauschen oder Eiswürfel zugeben zu können, falls kein fließendes Wasser zur Verfügung stehen sollte.
Die Brennanlage wird inklusive einer ausführlichen Gebrauchsanleitung geliefert, sodass Sie ohne Probleme sofort mit dem Brennen und Destillieren beginnen können.
Maße, Volumina, Gewicht:
Länge: ca. 64 cm
Breite: Durchmesser Boden (Maß für Herdplatte): 17,5 cm; Durchmesser mit Haltegriffe: 26 cm
Höhe ohne Thermometer 2-Liter-Version: 28,5 cm; 5-Liter-Version: 36,5 cm
Höhe mit Kühler: ca. 45 cm
2-Liter-SUPREMA
Kesselvolumen: 2 Liter
Füllvolumen Kräuter (Dampfraum): 2,7 Liter
Helmvolumen ohne Geistrohr: 2,2 Liter
Gesamtgewicht: 3,6 kg
5-Liter-SUPREMA
Kesselvolumen: 5 Liter
Füllvolumen Kräuter (Dampfraum): 3,7 Liter
Helmvolumen ohne Geistrohr: 2,2 Liter
Gesamtgewicht: 4,0 kg
Wegen der von uns entwickelten, speziellen Konstruktion, insbesondere dem sehr breiten Übergang zum Helm , die sofortige Ableitung vom Dampf zur Kühlung und dem fallenden Geistrohr , werden viel mehr Aroma- und Geschmackstoffe überdestilliert als bei sonst üblichen Schnapsbrennanlagen. Daher entstehen beim Destillieren von Maischen, Bier, Wein, Likören, Angesetzten, Geisten und Kräuterauszügen sehr aromareiche und geschmackvolle Destillate .
2-Liter- oder 5-Liter-Kessel?
2-Liter-Destillationsanlagen (oder kleiner) sind in Österreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz anmeldefrei beim Handel, im Besitz, sowie bei Vermietung & Verpachtung.
Die Destillationsdauer ist mit dem 2-Liter-Kessel vergleichsweise kurz , daher ideal für geschmackvolle Experimente. Ein Brennvorgang dauert ca. 35 bis 45 Minuten. Das Ergebnis ist, je nach Alkoholgehalt, ca. 250 bis 1200 ml Destillat. Die Kesselgröße von 2 Liter eignet sich daher optimal zum Austesten eigener Geistrezepturen und für Maischemengen bis zu 10 Liter je Sorte (5 Durchgänge bis das Gärfass leer ist).
Mit einer 5-Liter-Anlage können Sie, ebenfalls je nach Alkoholgehalt des Brenngutes, ca. 1 bis 4 Liter hochprozentigen Schnaps je Vorgang erzeugen. Die 5 Liter Variante ist für mehr als 20 Liter Maische je Obstsorte (4 mal destillieren bis Gärfass leer ist) bzw. für größere Geistmengen optimal geeignet (sollte ein Ergebnis eines 2-Liter-Experimentes besonders gut gelungen sein und Sie davon mehr herstellen möchten).
Hinweis: Ein Brennkessel sollte bei jedem Brennvorgang zumindest zu dreiviertel gefüllt sein, andernfalls kommt es zu deutlichen Ausbeute-, Aroma- und Geschmacksverlusten.
Schnapsbrennen mit der Brennanlage SUPREMA
Das Destillat hat normalerweise einen viel größeren Alkoholgehalt als eine allgemein übliche Trinkstärke. Zum Verdünnen auf Trinkstärke ist das Messset Alkohol zu empfehlen (ebenfalls hier im shop erhältlich).
Wegen dem mitgelieferten Anbrennschutz – dieses Prinzip wurde von uns 1998 entwickelt – ist es nicht notwendig, die Maische vor dem Brennen zu filtrieren, um ein Anbrennen zu verhindern. Es tritt, wenn die Heizleistung verändert wird, keine störende zeitliche Verzögerung wie bei einem Doppelmantelkessel auf. Nicht-filtrierte Maischen ergeben eine höhere Ausbeute und mehr Geschmack.
Der ebenfalls von uns 1998 entwickelte Aromakorb dient zur Herstellung eines Geistes: Geben Sie Gewürze, Kräuter oder Früchte wie z.B. Himbeeren (für Himbeergeist ), Anis (für Ouzo, Raki), Wacholderbeeren (für holländischer Jenever) oder Gewürzmischungen basierend auf Wacholder (für Gin ) bzw. Wermut (für Absinth ) usw. in den Korb. Somit werden diese im Alkohol nicht ausgekocht und unangenehme Bitterstoffe und dumpfe Aromen vermieden. Beim Destillieren von Wein oder geschmacksarmen Alkohol wie z.B. Wodka oder Korn nimmt der Alkoholdampf die Aromastoffe aus dem Korb auf und Sie erhalten einen ausgezeichneten Geist. Beispielsweise werden auf diese Art namhafte, qualitativ hochwertige Ginsorten hergestellt, also mittels Perkulation bzw. Dampfextraktion .
Apropos Gin: für den einfachsten Gin werden verschiedene ätherische Öle in geschmacksneutralem Alkohol aufgelöst. Beides können Sie mit der SUPREMA selbst herstellen!
Die Abtrennung von Vorlauf und Nachlauf erfolgt mit Hilfe des Thermometers . Mit dieser Abtrennmethode arbeiten wir seit Mitte der 1990’er Jahre, da sie insbesondere bei kleinen Destillen eine genauere und zuverlässigere Abtrennung als andere Methoden ermöglicht. Auch bei Großanlagen wird in der Fachwelt seit Mitte der 2000’er Jahre diese Methode als Standard zur Abtrennung von Vor- und Nachlauf betrachtet. Das Thermometer hat einen Bereich von -10 bis 110°C und ist auf 1/2 Grad genau ablesbar. Der Messpunkt befindet sich an der höchsten Stelle des noch nicht abgekühlten Dampfes, denn nur dort ist die Dampftemperatur unabhängig (!) von der jeweiligen Anlagenkonstruktion und korreliert somit mit dem aktuellen Alkoholgehalt des Destillates. Die richtige Position der Messstelle, insbesondere die richtige Höhe, ist besonders wichtig, da sonst falsche Temperaturen mit Abweichungen bis zu 10°C oder mehr gemessen werden.
Wird doppelt gebrannt , dient der 5-Liter-Kessel für den Rau- oder Rohbrand, der 2-Liter-Kessel für den Feinbrand .
In unserem Buch “Schnapsbrennen als Hobby ” finden Sie viele Tipps und Anleitungen sowie ca. 100 Rezepte für geschmackvolle Brände, Geiste und Angesetzte . Die “Rezeptsammlung zum Schnapsbrennen ” umfasst über 300 verschiedene, teils außergewöhnliche Rezepturen .
Schlangenkühler oder Kuppelkühler?
Zur Alkoholdestillation ist der mitgelieferte Schlangenkühler aufgrund seiner starken Kühlwirkung am besten geeignet. Ein äußerst zuverlässiger Kühler, der alle Bereiche der Alkoholdestillation abdeckt.
Zur Herstellung von ätherischen Ölen und Hydrolaten hat diese Kühlerart jedoch den Nachteil, dass geringe Ölmengen (einige Tropfen) in der Schlange hängenbleiben, was bei Pflanzen mit geringer Ölausbeute (Rosen, Zitronenmelisse, german. Kamille, viele Wildkräuter) die gesamte Ausbeute umfasst. Werden Pflanzen mit höherem Ölgehalt destilliert, wie z.B. Lavendel, beträgt mit dem 5-Liter-Kessel die Ölausbeute 15 – 20 ml. In solchen Fällen ist der Verlust in der Kühlschlange selbstverständlich zu vernachlässigen. Nach der Destillation kann die Schlange durch Spülen, beispielsweise mit hochprozentigem Alkohol, gereinigt werden. Eine Kuppelkühlung hat hingegen den Vorteil, dass einerseits das gesamte Öl verlustfrei in die Vorlagenflasche rinnt und andererseits dieser Kühler innen (!!!) mühelos per Hand gereinigt werden kann , einfach mit Geschirrspülmittel und Putzschwämmchen.
Destillation ätherischer Öle und Hydrolate mit der SUPREMA
Die Wasserdampfdestillation kann sowohl mit dem 2- als auch 5-Liter-Kessel ausgeführt werden. Möchten Sie Hydrolate herstellen, richtet sich die Kesselgröße nach Ihrer Pflanzenmenge, beide Topfgrößen sind für Hydrolate bestens geeignet . Zur Gewinnung ätherischer Öle benötigen Sie hingegen ein größere Pflanzenmenge, mit dem 5-Liter-Topf steht Ihnen das entsprechende Volumen zur Verfügung, um auch tatsächlich ätherisches Öl zu gewinnen.
Der von uns 1998 entwickelte Aromakorb dient zur Herstellung qualitativ hochwertiger ätherischer Öle und Hydrolate: Mit diesem Einsatz wird das Destilliergut (die Blüten, Samen, Wurzeln oder Kräuter) nicht im Wasser ausgekocht, sondern gedämpft. Der Dampf durchströmt von unten nach oben das Pflanzenmaterial.
Füllvolumen für das Pflanzenmaterial : wie in den Bildern ersichtlich, sind die Verlängerungsröhrchen für den Aromakorb beim 5-Liter-Kessel länger als bei der 2-Liter-Version. Werden beim 5-Liter-Kessel statt der langen, die kürzeren Röhrchen vom 2-Liter-Topf aufgesetzt, ergibt sich ein Dampfraumvolumen von 5,2 Liter .
Die Anlage verfügt mit Absicht über KEINEN automatischen Öl-Abscheider oder Scheidetrichter . Erstens, weil beträchtliche Ölmengen im Inneren haften bleiben, es geht also unnötigerweise Öl verloren. Zweitens, weil einige Öle schwerer sind als Wasser (z.B. Zimt, Gewürznelken, Alantwurzel, Balsampappel usw.) und somit auf diese Weise keine Abtrennung möglich ist. Und drittens, weil das Gefäß mit dem Hydrolat und ätherischen Öl vor der Abtrennung zumindest einige Wochen gelagert werden sollte, um qualitativ möglichst hochwertige Öle und Hydrolate zu erhalten. Abgesehen davon sind selbst hergestellte Hydrolate derart intensiv, dass sich oft, je nach Pflanzenart, sehr starke, undurchsichtig-milchige Trübungen bilden. Auch bei solchen Fällen funktionieren weder Öl-Abscheider noch Scheidetrichter.
Wird statt des Schlangenkühlers der Kuppelkühler von der LEONARDO® Flexi eingesetzt, ist es möglich, bei der Herstellung ätherischer Öle die maximal erreichbare Ausbeute und intensivste Hydrolate zu erhalten. Außerdem gibt es bei zwei verschiedenen Kühlern, einer zur Alkoholdestillation und der andere zur ätherischen-Öl-Herstellung, nicht mehr das Problem von Verunreinigungen eventueller Destillatreste bei der nächsten Destillation, wenn beispielsweise vor dem Zwetschkenbrand Rosmarinöl destilliert wurde. Detaillierte Informationen zur Wasserdampfdestillation finden Sie hier: Herstellung von ätherischen Ölen (z.B. Lavendelöl, Zitrusöl, Minzöl usw.).
In unserem Buch “Ätherische Öle selbst herstellen” finden Sie viele Tipps und Anleitungen welche über die Gebrauchsanweisung weit hinausgehen, wie beispielsweise der richtige Pflanzenteil , die optimale Ernte sowie Erntezeitpunkt (Tageszeit) und die beste Verarbeitungsmethode von über 140 heimischen und exotischen Pflanzen um möglichst intensive Hydrolate und hohe Ölausbeuten zu erhalten. Darüber hinaus über 50 Basisrezepturen zur Anwendung der ätherischen Öle und Hydrolate. Die Palette reicht von Produkten zur Gesichts- und Körperpflege, über Liköre, Gin, Gewürzöle, Aromatisierung von Tee, Inhalationen, Raumsprays und Saunaaufguss bis hin zu Parfum.

Still SUPREMA (2 or 5 Liters)
IN PROGRESS, WILL BE TRANSLATED SHORTLY.
Bei der Schnapsbrennanlage SUPREMA ist nicht nur der Kessel austauschbar (2- oder 5-Liter-Kessel) , es passt auch das Verlängerungsstück und der Kuppelkühler der LEONARDO® Flexi dazu, und somit auch die Verstärkerkolonne. Diese Anlage ist mit verschiedenen Teilen der Produktlinie Suprema-Flexi nachrüstbar , sodass Sie damit aromatische Schnäpse brennen, ätherische Öle und Hydrolate destillieren, sowie reinen, hochprozentigen Alkohol herstellen können. Die Anlage kann also an die jeweiligen Destillationsanforderungen flexibel angepasst werden.
Die Destille besteht aus massivem, hochwertigem Kupfer . Kupfer hat im Vergleich zu Stahl oder Glas folgende Vorteile:
Das bei Steinobstbränden entstehende Cyanid bzw. Ethylcarbamat (EC) wird durch den Kontakt mit Kupfer zuverlässig abgebaut. Daher ist bei großen Destillen zur Obstbrandherstellung der Helm mit Kupfer ausgekleidet.
Bei Stärkemaischen, wie zur Whiskyherstellung, werden olfaktorisch bemerkbare Schwefelverbindungen im Destillat vermieden. Daher sind schottische Whisky-Destillen ebenfalls komplett aus Kupfer gefertigt.
Ätherische Öle und Hydrolate aus Kupferdestillen sind sinnlicher, betörender und reichhaltiger, “voller” im Bouquet.
Beim Einsatz in Wasser-, Öl- oder Sandbädern bewirkt die bessere Wärmeleitfähigkeit eine kürzere Reaktionszeit auf Temperaturänderungen.
Die Anlage wurde von uns entwickelt und ist verfahrenstechnisch optimal ausgelegt. Das Brenngerät wird exklusiv für uns angefertigt .
Die Anlage kann mit jeder Art von Heizquelle betrieben werden, sei es Elektrokochplatte, Ceranfeld, Gas, Spirituskocher oder offenes Feuer. Wasser-, Öl- oder Sandbäder sind selbstverständlich ebenfalls möglich. Für Induktionsplatten sind im Fachhandel Induktions-Adapterplatten erhältlich.
Zur Kühlung dient ein Schlangenkühler , ein ca. 1 m langes, spiralförmig gebogenes Kupferrohr in einem Kupferbehälter für 2,6 Liter Kühlwasser. Mit dem mitgelieferten Silikonschlauch (1 m) kann an den Ein- und Auslassstutzen für Kühlwasser eine Wasserleitung oder eine kleine Umwälzpumpe für Zimmerbrunnen (nicht im Lieferumfang) angeschlossen werden. Der Behälter ist oben offen, um gegebenenfalls das Kühlwasser manuell tauschen oder Eiswürfel zugeben zu können, falls kein fließendes Wasser zur Verfügung stehen sollte.
Die Brennanlage wird inklusive einer ausführlichen Gebrauchsanleitung geliefert, sodass Sie ohne Probleme sofort mit dem Brennen und Destillieren beginnen können.
Maße, Volumina, Gewicht:
Länge: ca. 64 cm
Breite: Durchmesser Boden (Maß für Herdplatte): 17,5 cm; Durchmesser mit Haltegriffe: 26 cm
Höhe ohne Thermometer 2-Liter-Version: 28,5 cm; 5-Liter-Version: 36,5 cm
Höhe mit Kühler: ca. 45 cm
2-Liter-SUPREMA
Kesselvolumen: 2 Liter
Füllvolumen Kräuter (Dampfraum): 2,7 Liter
Helmvolumen ohne Geistrohr: 2,2 Liter
Gesamtgewicht: 3,6 kg
5-Liter-SUPREMA
Kesselvolumen: 5 Liter
Füllvolumen Kräuter (Dampfraum): 3,7 Liter
Helmvolumen ohne Geistrohr: 2,2 Liter
Gesamtgewicht: 4,0 kg
Wegen der von uns entwickelten, speziellen Konstruktion, insbesondere dem sehr breiten Übergang zum Helm , die sofortige Ableitung vom Dampf zur Kühlung und dem fallenden Geistrohr , werden viel mehr Aroma- und Geschmackstoffe überdestilliert als bei sonst üblichen Schnapsbrennanlagen. Daher entstehen beim Destillieren von Maischen, Bier, Wein, Likören, Angesetzten, Geisten und Kräuterauszügen sehr aromareiche und geschmackvolle Destillate .
2-Liter- oder 5-Liter-Kessel?
2-Liter-Destillationsanlagen (oder kleiner) sind in Österreich, Deutschland und der Schweiz anmeldefrei beim Handel, im Besitz, sowie bei Vermietung & Verpachtung.
Die Destillationsdauer ist mit dem 2-Liter-Kessel vergleichsweise kurz , daher ideal für geschmackvolle Experimente. Ein Brennvorgang dauert ca. 35 bis 45 Minuten. Das Ergebnis ist, je nach Alkoholgehalt, ca. 250 bis 1200 ml Destillat. Die Kesselgröße von 2 Liter eignet sich daher optimal zum Austesten eigener Geistrezepturen und für Maischemengen bis zu 10 Liter je Sorte (5 Durchgänge bis das Gärfass leer ist).
Mit einer 5-Liter-Anlage können Sie, ebenfalls je nach Alkoholgehalt des Brenngutes, ca. 1 bis 4 Liter hochprozentigen Schnaps je Vorgang erzeugen. Die 5 Liter Variante ist für mehr als 20 Liter Maische je Obstsorte (4 mal destillieren bis Gärfass leer ist) bzw. für größere Geistmengen optimal geeignet (sollte ein Ergebnis eines 2-Liter-Experimentes besonders gut gelungen sein und Sie davon mehr herstellen möchten).
Hinweis: Ein Brennkessel sollte bei jedem Brennvorgang zumindest zu dreiviertel gefüllt sein, andernfalls kommt es zu deutlichen Ausbeute-, Aroma- und Geschmacksverlusten.
Schnapsbrennen mit der Brennanlage SUPREMA
Das Destillat hat normalerweise einen viel größeren Alkoholgehalt als eine allgemein übliche Trinkstärke. Zum Verdünnen auf Trinkstärke ist das Messset Alkohol zu empfehlen (ebenfalls hier im shop erhältlich).
Wegen dem mitgelieferten Anbrennschutz – dieses Prinzip wurde von uns 1998 entwickelt – ist es nicht notwendig, die Maische vor dem Brennen zu filtrieren, um ein Anbrennen zu verhindern. Es tritt, wenn die Heizleistung verändert wird, keine störende zeitliche Verzögerung wie bei einem Doppelmantelkessel auf. Nicht-filtrierte Maischen ergeben eine höhere Ausbeute und mehr Geschmack.
Der ebenfalls von uns 1998 entwickelte Aromakorb dient zur Herstellung eines Geistes: Geben Sie Gewürze, Kräuter oder Früchte wie z.B. Himbeeren (für Himbeergeist ), Anis (für Ouzo, Raki), Wacholderbeeren (für holländischer Jenever) oder Gewürzmischungen basierend auf Wacholder (für Gin ) bzw. Wermut (für Absinth ) usw. in den Korb. Somit werden diese im Alkohol nicht ausgekocht und unangenehme Bitterstoffe und dumpfe Aromen vermieden. Beim Destillieren von Wein oder geschmacksarmen Alkohol wie z.B. Wodka oder Korn nimmt der Alkoholdampf die Aromastoffe aus dem Korb auf und Sie erhalten einen ausgezeichneten Geist. Beispielsweise werden auf diese Art namhafte, qualitativ hochwertige Ginsorten hergestellt, also mittels Perkulation bzw. Dampfextraktion .
Apropos Gin: für den einfachsten Gin werden verschiedene ätherische Öle in geschmacksneutralem Alkohol aufgelöst. Beides können Sie mit der SUPREMA selbst herstellen!

Diese Rektifikationskolonne trennt störende Aroma- und Geschmackstoffe aus dem Dampf ab , weil diese auf dem Weg nach oben auskondensieren und zurückrinnen, also den Kühler nicht mehr erreichen können.
Dazu wird die Kolonne zwischen Kessel und Kuppelkühler der LEONARDO® Flexi angebracht.
Um die Abtrennleistung zu erhöhen, ist sie mit Kupferwolle gefüllt . Kupfer hat beim Schnapsbrennen den Vorteil, dass bei Steinobstbränden eventuell vorhandenes Cyanid bzw. Ethylcarbamat (EC) abgebaut wird. Bei der Whiskyherstellung werden olfaktorisch bemerkbare Schwefelverbindungen im Destillat vermieden .
Es ist damit möglich, reinen, sehr hochprozentigen Alkohol herzustellen:
Wodka-ähnliche Destillate beim Schnapsbrennen
Alkohol für Tinkturen und als Lösemittel bei der ätherischen-Öl-Herstellung bzw. Hydrolatdestillation.
Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich, die Kolonne mit etwas anderem als Kupferwolle zu befüllen, z.B. Raschigringe, Sulzer-Pakete, Glasperlen, Porzellanringe, Intalox-Sättel, IMTP usw. Also alle Arten von Füllkörpern die in der Destillationstechnik Anwendung finden, sind möglich (nicht im Lieferumfang).

DELUXE Still (2, 3.8 or 7.8 liter)
The still is made of solid, high-quality copper. The still was designed by us and is optimally designed from a process technology perspective. The distillation device is manufactured exclusively for us .
The still can be ordered in the 2 liter, 3.8 liter or 7.8 liter version. Each can be converted to the other kettle sizes . Hence you then have a still with two or three different pot sizes (original Malle-Schmickl still system).
A gas burner for plug-in gas cartridges (standard size 190 g) is used as a heat source. It can be regulated continuously by means of a setting wheel.
The cooling system consists of an approximately 1 m long copper tube in a spiral shape and a copper container that is open on top so that the water content can be exchanged manually if there is no running water available. The container has an inlet by means of a funnel for connection to a water tap, and an outlet nozzle. It is also possible to operate the cooling system by means of a small recirculation pump (not included in delivery), similar to indoor fountains.
The still is delivered with detailed operating instructions , so that you can start distilling immediately without any problems.
The kettle is sealed by means of a screw-on lever, and a sealing ring ensures that there are no leaks.
Dimensions: width 29 cm, length 70 cm, height 69 cm (without thermometer)
The still can also be used for the distillation of beer, wine, herbs or for making essential oils (e.g. lavender oil, lemon oil, mint oil etc.) by means of steam distillation.
Distilling schnapps with the Deluxe still
A distillation process with the gas burner takes approximately 30-45 minutes for the 2 liter kettle size. Depending on the alcohol content of the material to be distilled, you can produce 2 to 6 liters of high-proof schnapps per process with a 7.8 liter still. The measuring kit is recommended for dilution to drinking strength.
Because of the supplied burn protector – this principle was developed by us in 1998 – it is not necessary to filter the mash before distilling. Nevertheless, when the heating power is changed there is no annoying time delay as there is with a jacketed kettle. Unfiltered mashes produce a higher yield and more flavor in the distillate, because the softened fruit pulp contains a lot of alcohol and flavorings.
The flavor basket that we also developed in 1998 is used for making spirits: Add spices, herbs or fruits to the basket, such as raspberries (for Raspberry brandy )), aniseed (for ouzo, raki), juniper berries (for Dutch Jenever) or spice mixtures based on juniper (for gin) or alternatively wormwood (for absinthe ) etc.. When distilling wine or schnapps with less flavor such as vodka and grain schnapps, the alcohol vapor picks up the flavorings from the basket and you will get excellent spirits.
The heads and tails are separated using a thermometer . We have worked with this separation method since the mid ‘90s, because it enables more accurate and reliable separation than other methods, especially with small stills. Since the middle of the 2000s, experts have regarded this method as standard for the separation of heads and tails, and not just for small stills. The thermometer has a range from 0 to 110 °C and can be read accurately down to 0.5 of a degree. The measuring point is located at the highest point of the vapor that has not yet cooled, because it is only here that the vapor temperature is independent of the respective still construction and hence correlates to the actual alcohol content of the distillate. The correct position of the measuring point is particularly important, because incorrect positions can lead to differences of up to 10 °C or more!
The kettle size of 2 liters is ideal for trying out your own spirits recipes and for mash quantities of up to 10 liters per type. The 3.8 liter variant is for mash quantities of 10 to 15 liters per type of fruit. Alternatively, for larger quantities of spirits, the 7.8 liter kettle is optimally suited for mash quantities of more than 20 liters. A distilling kettle should be at least half filled for each distilling process; otherwise there will be a loss of yield and flavor.
For double distilling, the 7.8 liter kettle is used for the raw distillate, and the 2 or 3.8 liter kettle is for the fine distillate.
In our book "The Artisan’s Guide to Crafting Distilled Spirits " you will find many tips and instructions as well as around 100 recipes for tasty brandies and spirits .
Distillation of essential oils with the Deluxe still
Steam distillation can be performed with the 2 liter, 3.8 liter or 7.8 liter kettle. If you would like to make hydrosols, then the kettle size is aligned with the quantity of plants. All three pot sizes are suitable for hydrosols . For the distillation of essential oils, you need the 7.8 liter pot, because only here can you fit in enough plant material to actually obtain essential oil .
The flavor basket that we developed in 1998 is used for making high-quality essential oils and hydrosols. With this insert, the materials being distilled, i.e. the flowers, seeds, roots or herbs, are not boiled in the water, but rather steamed. Therefore it ONLY comes into contact with the steam.
Filling volume for the material being distilled: Since unlike the LEONARDO®, the Deluxe still does not have a separate vapor space, the specified kettle size corresponds to the maximum filling volume of the material being distilled PLUS the amount of water added. Hence, 5.8 liters of the material being distilled can be placed in the 7.8 liter kettle if there are 2 liters of water under it.
The still deliberately has NO automatic oil separator or separating funnel. First of all, this is because considerable quantities of oil stick to the insides of this type of equipment, so no oil is lost unnecessarily. Secondly because some oils are heavier than water (e.g. cinnamon, cloves, alant root, balsam poplar and so on), and thirdly because the container with the hydrosol and essential oil should be stored for at least several weeks BEFORE separation in order to obtain the highest possible quality oils and hydrosols possible. Apart from this, the hydrosols obtained are often so intensive that depending on the plant type, they often exhibit very opaque and milky cloudiness, or there are accumulations of oil drops in the bottom area. Hence with automatic oil separation, considerable amounts of the valuable oil would not be separated. Even with crystal clear hydrosols, you should wait at least several hours before you separate the oil from the hydrosol.
LEONARDO® or Deluxe still? If you only want to make essential oils and hydrosols, i.e. no alcohol, then the LEONARDO® is the right choice. If you want to distil both alcohol and essential oils or hydrosols in the same still, then the Deluxe is best suited for this.
In our book “BOOK: The Essential Oil Maker's Handbook The Essential Oil Maker’s Handbook” (not included in delivery), you will find many tips and guides that go far beyond the operating instructions such as, for example, the right part of the plant, the optimum harvest and harvesting time (time of day) and the best processing methods for more than 140 native and exotic plants in order to obtain the most intensive hydrosol possible and high oil yields. Furthermore, there are more than 50 basic recipes for using the essential oils and hydrosols. The selection ranges from products for facial and body care, liqueurs, spiced oils, flavoring for tea, and inhalations to room sprays, sauna infusions and perfume.

DELUXE Still (2, 3.8 or 7.8 liter)
The still is made of solid, high-quality copper. The still was designed by us and is optimally designed from a process technology perspective. The distillation device is manufactured exclusively for us .
The still can be ordered in the 2 liter, 3.8 liter or 7.8 liter version. Each can be converted to the other kettle sizes . Hence you then have a still with two or three different pot sizes (original Malle-Schmickl still system).
A gas burner for plug-in gas cartridges (standard size 190 g) is used as a heat source. It can be regulated continuously by means of a setting wheel.
The cooling system consists of an approximately 1 m long copper tube in a spiral shape and a copper container that is open on top so that the water content can be exchanged manually if there is no running water available. The container has an inlet by means of a funnel for connection to a water tap, and an outlet nozzle. It is also possible to operate the cooling system by means of a small recirculation pump (not included in delivery), similar to indoor fountains.
The still is delivered with detailed operating instructions , so that you can start distilling immediately without any problems.
The kettle is sealed by means of a screw-on lever, and a sealing ring ensures that there are no leaks.
Dimensions: width 29 cm, length 70 cm, height 69 cm (without thermometer)
The still can also be used for the distillation of beer, wine, herbs or for making essential oils (e.g. lavender oil, lemon oil, mint oil etc.) by means of steam distillation.
Distilling schnapps with the Deluxe still
A distillation process with the gas burner takes approximately 30-45 minutes for the 2 liter kettle size. Depending on the alcohol content of the material to be distilled, you can produce 2 to 6 liters of high-proof schnapps per process with a 7.8 liter still. The measuring kit is recommended for dilution to drinking strength.
Because of the supplied burn protector – this principle was developed by us in 1998 – it is not necessary to filter the mash before distilling. Nevertheless, when the heating power is changed there is no annoying time delay as there is with a jacketed kettle. Unfiltered mashes produce a higher yield and more flavor in the distillate, because the softened fruit pulp contains a lot of alcohol and flavorings.
The flavor basket that we also developed in 1998 is used for making spirits: Add spices, herbs or fruits to the basket, such as raspberries (for Raspberry brandy )), aniseed (for ouzo, raki), juniper berries (for Dutch Jenever) or spice mixtures based on juniper (for gin) or alternatively wormwood (for absinthe ) etc.. When distilling wine or schnapps with less flavor such as vodka and grain schnapps, the alcohol vapor picks up the flavorings from the basket and you will get excellent spirits.
The heads and tails are separated using a thermometer . We have worked with this separation method since the mid ‘90s, because it enables more accurate and reliable separation than other methods, especially with small stills. Since the middle of the 2000s, experts have regarded this method as standard for the separation of heads and tails, and not just for small stills. The thermometer has a range from 0 to 110 °C and can be read accurately down to 0.5 of a degree. The measuring point is located at the highest point of the vapor that has not yet cooled, because it is only here that the vapor temperature is independent of the respective still construction and hence correlates to the actual alcohol content of the distillate. The correct position of the measuring point is particularly important, because incorrect positions can lead to differences of up to 10 °C or more!
The kettle size of 2 liters is ideal for trying out your own spirits recipes and for mash quantities of up to 10 liters per type. The 3.8 liter variant is for mash quantities of 10 to 15 liters per type of fruit. Alternatively, for larger quantities of spirits, the 7.8 liter kettle is optimally suited for mash quantities of more than 20 liters. A distilling kettle should be at least half filled for each distilling process; otherwise there will be a loss of yield and flavor.
For double distilling, the 7.8 liter kettle is used for the raw distillate, and the 2 or 3.8 liter kettle is for the fine distillate.
In our book "The Artisan’s Guide to Crafting Distilled Spirits " you will find many tips and instructions as well as around 100 recipes for tasty brandies and spirits .

This collecting bottle fits exactly under the LEONARDO® and Deluxe stills. Due to the narrow neck , the essential oil can be drawn off very easily after distillation. If you are distilling oils that are heavier than water, such as cinnamon or cloves, then the oil collects on the bottom of the bottle. Due to the curvature there, this oil can also be drawn off with the extractor for heavy oils . Bottle including sealing cap.

This atomizer is characterized by a very small pump volume , so that it can actually also be used for perfumes. As described in the book , real perfume should only be applied very sparingly. One to two drops are sufficient to diffuse an intensive scent. Unfortunately, “perfume” atomizers are usually offered with much too large a pump volume, and are actually only suitable for highly diluted scents such as Eau de Cologne.

Separating the essential oils
Numerous essential oil recipes for distilling essential oils and hydrosols, as well as for using them.
Harvesting and Preparing the Plants
To obtain essential oils and full-bodied hydrosols, you must first of all harvest the plants at the optimum time (time of day) and prepare them for distillation. The quality of the drugs, the harvesting time of the plants and the preparation before distillation are the foundation for successful oil distillation. If you use improperly harvested plants and incorrectly crushed materials, you can never expect a high oil yield and intensive hydrosol. You will find exact guides and recipes for distillation in the book (videos and pictures in the Essential Oil Online Course ).
Distillation
The book also contains a detailed description of distilling: How much water should I put in the still? How many drugs can I put in the still in proportion to the water ? What is the optimum distillation speed ? What collecting vessel should I use? Naturally, you can also find more answers on this in our Making Essential Oils Courses .
How should the optimum distillation equipment be set up correctly from a process technology perspective? What is the LEONARDO® still? What materials can I use? How to make essential oil stills or recognize a functional still? Regardless of whether you would like to build the still yourself or buy it, here you can acquire the necessary know-how to end up with the perfect steam still for making your own essential oils .
