In this clip from his video course, Jamie Burns of Denver’s The Family Jones Spirit House discusses how he uses standard and consistent measurements and processes to simplify recipe repeatability and scalability.
Whether you’re evaluating a new grain, prototyping a new recipe, or checking the proof of a liqueur, a lab still can be an essential tool for small distilleries. In the full-length course, available to Craft Spirits & Distilling subscribers, you’ll learn what a lab still is, how to use one, how to scale recipes from one, how to use one for testing, and more.
Through the course, Burns covers:
- components of a lab still
- how to set up and run a lab still
- how to build recipes that scale up from a lab still to a production still
- how to use a lab still to check the proof of liqueurs
And more.
