Amphora Society was formed 12 years ago by two close friends that had a vision to share their years of alcohol distillation experience with the world. Combining talents from two continents; Mike Nixon from New Zealand and Mike Mcaw from the USA, set out to write and publish their first book The Compleat Distiller. The published document quickly became a favorite amongst both home and small-scale distillation owners. Shortly after Amphora Society set out to publish Making Pure Corn Whiskey by Ian Smiley, Designing & Building Automatic Stills by a scandinavian author, Riku, and most recently Cordial Waters by Wal Paviuchuk, a detailed history of distilled spirits, containing 260 recipes from all around the world. Amphora Society's newest publication is Making Fine Spirits (using simple, easy-to-build alcohol distillation supplies), by Zymurgy Bob.
The World's First Compact Still
After applying the principles found in the The Compleat Distiller, the two Mikes designed the world's first compact still capable of performing the highest quality distillations. The Amphora Society's laboratory scale Professional Distillation Apparatus, or PDA-1 as it is now known, is widely regarded as the best equipment in it's size range available at any price. After completing the PDA-1, Amphora Society released it's micro-distillery scale PDA-2 high power distiller. The PDA-2 has proven to be an asset to the distilling world and was immediately adopted by award winning and successful commercial distilleries. Several of these micro-distilleries have won gold medals for their spirits made in the PDA-2.
