The Essencia System
Ferment > Distill > Filter > Flavour and Age
From the purest yeast to the fastest condensers; the cleanest filters to the most authentic essences. The premium Essencia System was invested for craft distillers to produce finer, more authentic spirit at home.
Ferment: Super 6 Ultra Pure Yeast
Essencia Super 6 Ultra-Pure is a fully-stackable distiller's yeast used to produce premium, odour-free alcohol. It thrives in a wide temperature range of 15-35°C. With just 6kg of sugar, it generates a wash with 13-17% ABV within 5-7 days.
Distill: Essencia Express Copper Reflux and Pot Condenser Kit
Introducing the new pro-grade Essencia Express Reflux and Pot Condenser—faster, more versatile, and easier to use than any other condenser on the market. This advanced unit can reflux a 25L wash to 94% pure alcohol in under 2.5 hours with the 3kW boiler (3.5 hr with 2kW), achieving an impressive 94% ABV. It easily converts into a copper pot still without needing separate parts for stripping and spirit runs.
Filter: Essencia Carbon Filter System
Fast-age for the smoothest spirit without messy carbon. This system is a multi-stage filtration unit with large ceramic and peat carbon cartridges. The large Carbon Filter Cartridge treats 45L of 40% ethanol, removing congeners like acetaldehyde and methanol. The large Ceramic/carbon Filter Cartridge treats 250L (50 batches), removing bacteria, cysts, chlorine, pesticides, and metals.
Flavour and Age: Essencia essences and genuine barrel chunks
Essencia's authentic essences taste better because they are created using only the highest quality distilled flavour essences from around the world. Essencia Ezibase ® is pure and smooth, allowing you to customise your creations to your own taste.
Essencia Barrel Chunks are made from freshly-emptied spirit barrels, enabling you produce the most authentic distiller's spirit at home. Made from genuine deeply-charred spirit-soaked American oak barrels that have aged spirit for 4-10 years. These chunks enhance rapid flavour-infusion due to the unique Essencia process which opens the spirit-soaked oak and retains the charred barrel interior.
