Still Spirits Boiler with Still Spirits CREATE+ Alembic Dome and Condenser (tri-clamp).

Unlike reflux stills that are engineered to strip flavour to produce clean, neutral spirits, the large copper surface area of this pot still enables it to carry over the distinct flavours and aromas of a wash into the final product, creating a full-flavoured spirit. This makes it ideal for creating flavoursome spirits like whiskey, bourbon, rum, and gin. This set up is also suitable for distilling water and hydrosols.

This T500 Boiler features two power switches. When both switches are on, the element will be supplied full power of 2200W for 220V units, or 1600W for 120V units. You can lower this to 1100W by switching one of the two switches off (220V unit) or by switching off the 500W switch (120V unit). This can be extremely useful when distilling dark spirits such as Whiskey, Rum and Bourbon as you are able to now control the amount of power and have a gentler boil for your final spirit runs.

NOTE: The Still Spirits Boiler Lid and Alembic Dome are designed primarily for small to medium-sized distilling setups that do not have heavy, off-centre attachments. The lid and dome are reasonably flexible and sturdy enough to fit components that are within the following specifications:

• A total column & condenser height up to 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the lid or dome.
• A total column & condenser weight up to 11 kg (24 lbs), including up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs) of off-centre weight from a swan neck, lyne arm, or condenser running in parallel with the column and offset up to 160 mm (6”) to the main column.

We recommend external support if:

• Your column & condenser exceeds the above specifications.
• The lyne arm is not vertical but angled or perpendicular running away from the column, resulting in significantly distant off-centre weight.
• If the column & condenser is noticeably leaning.

A cartridge carbon filter. Fast, clean and easy to use. Specifically designed for the maximum purification of alcohol or water.The EZ Filter is the latest development in alcohol filtration. It uses a specially formulated solid activated carbon cartridge to remove unwanted flavours from distilled alcohol.

Due to the compressed nature of the cartridges the alcohol is forced past a vast amount of active pores so filtration is assured. The Carbon Cartridges are best suited to quick filtration of alcohol from stills producing alcohol above 80% abv as well as spirit produced from triple Distilled Turbo from any still.

This filter combines the research done on the Still Spirits Turbo Yeasts with the latest development on carbon purifying of distilled alcohol. The EZ Filter system uses the unique EZ Filter Carbon Cartridge, constructed from a specially formulated blend of carbons designed to deliver maximum performance.

The system kit contains upper 10L reservoir, filter unit, filter cartridge, lower 10L reservoir unit, outlet.

Used in the EZ filter. Use one at each end of the filter cartridge. Replace when washer no longer maintains their normal thickness. Made from Spirit Resistant  Polyethylene so it will not taint the spirit.

The EZ Filter Carbon Cartridge is a single-use compressed carbon cartridge designed for use with the EZ Filter System and EZ In-Line Filter.

Fast, clean and easy to use and capable of processing 8 L (8 US qt)of 50% ABV spirit or 300L of water at a time. Its porous design allows the spirit or water to pass through with unwanted flavours or aromas being adsorbed by the activated carbon.
