The T500 Alembic Pot Still is comprised of the T500 Copper Dome Top and T500 Alembic Condenser with the T500 Boiler.
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.
The T500 Copper Dome and T500 Alembic Condenser are compatible with the Grainfather G30, making it ideal for crafting all-grain spirits. The T500 Alembic Condenser is compatible with the Grainfather G40 & G70 Distilling Lid and Distilling Lid Attachment Kits making it suitable for crafting larger batches of all-grain spirits.
