Module 18
Extractor Distillation Tools
Use extractor workflows to get bigger botanical and fruit flavor without boiler overcooking trade-offs.
Move beyond a binary boiler-vs-vapor decision. Learn extractor principles, when to use extracts versus essences, and how solvent strength changes what you pull over.
What you'll learn
- How boiler and vapor infusion differ in flavor intensity and overcooking risk
- How a Soxhlet-style extractor loop works in distilling practice
- How to choose extract versus essence workflows by ingredient behavior
- How alcohol-water ratio in the extractor changes flavor capture
- How to apply extractor workflows to gin, liqueurs, and other products
