A medieval moonshine still, often used for producing poitín (or poteen) in Ireland and various aqua vitae (water of life) spirits across Europe, was a primitive but effective distillation apparatus designed for portability and concealment, similar in concept to early alchemical alembics.Key Features of a Medieval Still:Alembic Design: The apparatus typically consisted of a copper, or sometimes ceramic, pot (the boiler) with a domed lid leading to a swan neck (or swan neck pipe) to collect vapors.Condensation: Instead of modern worm condensers, early systems often used a simple, long, curved pipe submerged in a trough or bucket of cold, running water to condense the alcohol vapors.Materials: Stills were frequently made by local metalsmiths from copper, though some early experiments involved ceramic pots.Heat Source: These were almost entirely wood-fired, operated by hand over an open fire or a small, shielded fire pit.
