What
is
the
main
aim
of
distillation?
To
separate
drinkable
alcohol
(ethanol)
from
an
alcoholic
liquid
How
do
stills
achieve
distillation?
By
heating
an
alcoholic
liquid,
the
alcohol
boils
and
evaporates
before
water.
This
vapor
is
then
condensed
to
create
a
more
alcoholic
liquid.
Describe
the
distillation
process
using
a
pot
still
Alcoholic
liquid
heated
in
a
pot
until
it
boils
Vapors
pass
up
through
the
head
of
the
pot
and
into
a
condenser
Cold
water
is
circulated
through
the
condenser,
turning
the
alcoholic
vapour
back
into
a
liquid
as
it
passes
through
a
tube
This
process
is
repeated
as
each
distillation
only
raises
the
alcohol
content
by
a
small
amount
On

part
of
the

are

What
are
the
"heads"
and
"tails"?
The
heads
is
the
first
part
of
a
liquid
to
be
distilled,
it
is
the
most
volatile
and
not
drinkable.
The
tails
is
the
final
part
of
the
liquid
to
be
distilled,
it
also
contains
impurities
