Our Annex Distillery concept ensures the high quality required for extra neutral alcohol without compromising the energy saving features that Vogelbusch designs are known for.<\/p>\n<p>Alcoholic mash from the existing fermentation (optionally raw alcohol from the mash column) is distilled and rectified in the Annex Distillery for highest purity and organoleptic quality standards. A specificity of combined production is that the draws from neutral alcohol can be utilized in the bioethanol process, thus increasing the yield of the parallel system.
