A distilling parrot is used to read the %alcohol of you distillate continuously while distilling. The distillate flows into the parrot from the bottom, fills the 20mm pipe and overflows at the top of the 20mm pipe into the 54 to 20mm reducer and from their out again through the other 8mm pipe.To build your own distilling parrot requires to following:â¢ 1  A 20mm copper pipe (with an inner diameter to let the alcohol meter float without touching sides) of about 300mm (the full length of your alcohol meter). â¢ 2  A 54mm to 20mm copper reducer. â¢ 3  Two lengths of 6mm copper tubing (or a diayer to suit the output of your still). â¢ 4  One copper 5  ...

Heart of distillation retained, Head & Tail discarded. In the distillation process a fermented liquid is cooked at a low heat. Because alcohol boils at a lower heat than does water the first steam that comes off consists of alcohol.The alcoholic steam that is boiled off is broken into three parts, the Head, the first steam to emerge, the Heart, the middle, and the Tail, the last of the steam.The Head and Tail are thrown away.riginally the Head and Tail of the distillation process was very small. This was a broad Cut. A broad cut and the Grappa tastes like gasoline. The peasant only wanted something cheap that would fortify him for a hard day s work. He wanted a small Head and Tail so that there would be more alcohol.
