What does a parrot do in distilling?

A distiller’s parrot is a piece of equipment that allows you to take alcohol gravity measurements using an hydrometer 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.

People ask: Should I use a proofing parrot?

It’s handy because the parrot will hold your alcoholmeter, so you can take real-time readings of the alcohol percentage during the distillation process.
