If you want a flavourful, characterful spirit that carries the taste of the grains, fruits, or molasses you started with, a pot still is the traditional choice. It’s the still of choice for whisky, rum, brandy, and other premium spirits where flavour complexity is key.
However, the rich mix of congeners and heavier compounds that give these spirits their distinctive character also means the fresh distillate can be quite harsh and unrefined straight off the still. Consequently, pot-distilled spirits almost always require a significant period of conditioning or aging—typically in wooden casks—to mellow aggressive notes, allow oxidative reactions, and extract flavour and colour from the wood. This maturation process is essential for developing the smooth, complex profiles associated with aged spirits and can take anywhere from several months to many years depending on the desired outcome.

The Create+ Thermowell 90° Elbow Section is designed for use with 2” tri-clamp compatible distilling systems. The stainless steel 90° elbow section with a thermowell integrates into a modular distilling system, redirecting vapour flow while enabling temperature monitoring.
Key features:
- Connects to 2" tri-clamp distilling accessories
- Integrated thermowell
- 304 grade sainless steel construction
- High temperature resistent food grade silicone
INSTRUCTIONS: Insert 90° Elbow Section into your distilling system ensuring the silicone gasket is placed in the tri-clamp connection. Secure with a tri-clamp. Secure your thermometer's sensor probe in the thermowell by using the provided plastic and silicone sleeves and the stainless steel nut. If not using a probe, seal off the thermowell using the provided stainless steel cap and O-ring.

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.

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.
Features:
- For intermediate-advanced distilling
- Dome and Condenser made from Copper with tri clamp connections
- Designed in New Zealand
- 25 L boiler capacity
- Boil dry reset
- Thermal cut out fuse
- Waste discharge tap
Note: This product includes a Still Spirits Create+ Threaded Adapter Set and 2" Tri-clamp inside the Still Spirits Boiler 25 L box. They are for use with tri-clamp connection condensers and are not required for condensers with a threaded connection.

Where innovation meets flexibility – VORTEX is a groundbreaking air-cooled condenser that allows you to operate anywhere without the constraints of cooling water, saving hundreds of litres of water per run. The VORTEX Air Cooled condenser utilises forced air to dissipate heat from vapour and liquid and can be used in place of a water-cooled condenser as well as part of a still configuration for stills with 2" tri-clamp compatibility.
It integrates seamlessly into any 2” tri-clamp setup or with CREATE+ components. A simple turn of a dial controls fan speed and cooling temperatures instantly and puts precision in your hands at every stage.
INSTRUCTIONS:
This product can be used in place of a water-cooled condenser as well as part of a still configuration for stills with 2” tri-clamp compatibility.
As vapour or liquid move through the two internal tubes of the condenser, the aluminium
fins absorb the heat, which is then dispersed \by the three integrated air fans. The speed of the fans can be increased or decreased with the control dial to control the heat dissipation
rate, like adjusting the water flow of traditional water-cooled condensers.
CLEANING AFTER USE: To clean, you can use a household vacuum cleaner to remove dust that may collect in the fan grill and the finned tubes over time. To clean inside the product pathway, conduct a distillation run of equal parts white vinegar and drinking water.
CAUTION: Metal fins can have sharp edges. Use care when handling, assembling, cleaning, or storing this unit, and avoid running fingers along the fin surface.
KEY FEATURES
• Connects to 2" tri-clamp distilling accessories
• Replaces a water-cooled condenser or dephlegmator to support cooling water-free distillation
