The Heads Separation Test according to Pieper is used for the straightforward monitoring of heads components in fruit spirits. The test makes it possible to check whether a distillate still contains heads. You can choose either the complete test set or the matching reagent refill for a further 10 determinations.
Options
- Heads Separation Test, 10 determinations: complete set with beaker, syringes, colour reference chart, test tube, instructions and reagents.
- Reagent refill, 10 determinations: three necessary reagents for further determinations. For full use, the test set with colour reference chart and working items is required.
Key benefits at a glance
- straightforward monitoring of heads components
- suitable for undiluted fractions during distillation
- also usable for ready-to-drink spirits
- evaluation via the colour reference chart of the test set
- each option is sufficient for 10 determinations
Application
For the test, a 5 ml sample is mixed with three different reagents. The resulting colour development allows the result to be assessed against the colour reference chart.
Additions
Clean mash management helps to avoid off-fermentations and to improve the quality of the spirit. A Turbo Yeast, Biogen-M, Liquefier Spezial, an airlock and a matching stopper for the airlock are suitable for this.
The Still Deluxe, the Suprema Unit and the Suprema Duo are suitable for the distillation.
