Motorcycle travel series by @velimir 'Zagorje 34' (Part #144)

A little further a guy's is cleaning his brandy pot. This is Mr Rimac, father of the guy from my previous post. Yes, we are allowed to make our own brandy in Croatia. But, there are limitations, so it wouldn't be sold for profit. Well, sold for profit without taxation, that is. :D The max amount one can produce for personal use is limited to 50 litres per year. If you decide to make more, you need to get licensed. Not sure how authorities react when mommy makes 50 litres, daddy chooses 50 of a different variety, granny also, grandpa grabs his lot... and so on... :D

I don't know much about brandy making. Little as I know, brandy is made from different kind of fruits which are smashed and boiled to a certain temperature before distilled. I also think that the distillation process is sometimes repeated so that one gets more percentages of alcohol in the final product.

Maybe I am wrong but this is only a part of the system being washed here. I don't see the tube nor the second pot.

The crank is probably used to press the fruits.

The proper temperature is the key in brandy distilling.

I am personally not a fan of hard liquors but I like the idea of choice and freedom. So, moonshiners of the world, come to Croatia for a spin! :)

Enjoy your day! :)
