A distillers parrot is a piece of kit that allows you to take alcohol gravity measurements using an Alcometer continuously throughout your pot or reflux run. It should be placed inline of your distillation outlet so that the drops of distillate fall directly into the tallest collection cone. But only placed in-line AFTER you collect your foreshots.
This copper parrot is design and made for Alcoengine reflux condensor which can only attached to outlet valve from Alcoengine condensor.
