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  ...

To build your own distilling parrot requires to following:
The apparatus used consists of three major parts: distillation flask (or pot) to heat the mixture and volatilize the components, a condenser to cool the vapors back to liquid state, and a collection vessel. Click on the blue link distillation apparatus to see an animation of one way to set up a distillation apparatus. .Below is another picture of a distillation apparatus which uses rubber stoppers rather than the more modern standard taper glass connections.he apparatus is usually made of glass and therefore subject to breakage. All components of the distillation apparatus should be secured to a stable stand or rack to prevent it from falling over. All the glassware, particularly the part to be heated, should be checked for cracks prior to use.
