Mixing Instructions

1. Make sure the tap is securely fitted to the Air Still Fermenter. Clean and sanitise your fermenter thoroughly. We recommend always using a new carbon cartridge for each fermentation, this is situated in the lid of your Air Still Fermenter and helps remove any fermentation odours.
2. Add 7.5 L (2.0 US Gal) of water to your fermenter at 30°C (86°F).
3. Add 2.4 kg (5.3 lb) dextrose to the water and stir until dissolved.
4. Add Turbo Yeast and Nutrient sachets.
5. Gently massage the Turbo Carbon sachet and then add to the mix. Stir well.
6. Sit the fermenter at room temperature - approx. 18-24°C (64-75°F) for 7 days or until wash has stopped bubbling.
7. To confirm fermentation is complete test the wash with a hydrometer. The wash has completed fermentation when the Specific Gravity (SG) reading is at or below 990 and has been stable for 2 consecutive days.
8. Now clear your wash. First, stir vigorously to remove all gases. Once degassed, add Turbo Clear Part A. Stir well then stand for 1 hour.
9. Add Turbo Clear Part B whilst stirring. Stop stirring as soon as all of Part B has been added. You must stir very gently, otherwise you will disrupt the clearing process. Stand for 24 hours then carefully remove clear wash for distilling.
10. You will end up with approximately 8 L (2.1 US Gal) of purified wash ready for distilling.

The Still Spirits Air Still Infusion Basket is a stainless-steel basket suitable to infuse your neutral distilled spirit with botanicals such as juniper, lemon, orange peel, cinnamon sticks, chilli or other flavouring ingredients. The basket is easily attached to the underside of the Air Still lid by aligning the indentation on the basket with the nodes on the lid.

The Air Still has a hole under the lid where vapour enters and condenses in the cooling coil before coming out as liquid alcohol. It has come to our attention that a few customers are finding pieces of botanicals stuck within the cooling coil. This may cause unwanted pressure build-up inside of the unit.

To prevent this, when using the Still Spirits Air Still Infusion Basket we suggest:

• Use a muslin cloth, hop bag or tea bag when using small botanical materials such as dried herbs and spices.
• Use plant material that are larger than the hole under the lid i.e. larger than 1cm in diameter.
• We do not recommend turning the top of the Air Still upside down when inserting the basket. Make sure no material falls into the hole. 

The Air Still Pro is a small-batch, 2-in-1 distillation system that allows you to craft high quality light and dark spirits. With a multi-purpose condenser and interchangeable distillation tips, the Air Still Pro enables you to produce clean, neutral spirits at up to 90% ABV in reflux mode and make flavoursome and botanical-infused spirits at up to 80% ABV in the pot still mode. 

An automatic foreshots collection vial captures the first 30 ml of distillate, allowing you to discard foreshots easily. This advanced feature improves safety and saves you extra steps in the process. In addition, other reflux stills may require an input cooling source, such as water, but the Air Still Pro column cools itself.

The Air Still Pro is easy to use and suitable for keen beginners or more advanced distillers looking for a multi-purpose air still. Also available as the Air Still Pro Head Unit to upgrade your Still Spirits Air Still.

You can also purchase the Air Still Pro Complete Distillery Kit, which includes the equipment and ingredients to craft high-quality light and dark spirits along with the Still Spirits Air Still Pro..

Craft high quality distilled water, hydrosols, and flavoursome spirits by transforming the Create+ Boiler 25 L or Grainfather G30 into an alembic distilling system by adding the Create+ Alembic Copper Dome and condenser. *

The Alembic Copper Condenser features a 2" tri-clamp connection and the dome comes with a 2" tri-clamp to DN40 Threaded Adapter for easy connection to 2" tri-clamp accessories. The Sight Glass Botanical Basket can be used as a sight glass to monitor distillation, or the mesh filters can be attached per the instructions to convert the sight glass into a botanical basket. The sight glass will hold up to 150 g (5.2 oz) of botanicals and is suitable for fine botanicals.

Due to its copper construction and domed shape, when paired with the Alembic Condenser the Alembic Copper Dome captures and enhances the flavours and aromas from a wash, making it ideal for crafting spirits like whiskey, bourbon, rum, and gin. It is able to strip away unwanted compounds and off-flavours, improving distillate quality.

The Alembic Copper Dome comes with a 2" tri-clamp to DN40 Threaded Adapter allowing for it to be connected to 2" tri-clamp accessories, giving you the option to experiment with different setups and attachments for a truly bespoke experience. This adapter can be removed from the dome for use with older model threaded Still Spirits condensers.

Sight Glass Botanical Basket:

• 2" Tri-clamp connection• Constructed with 304 grade stainless steel and borosilicate glass

The Create+ Multi-Tube Condenser (Shotgun Condenser) is designed for use with 2” tri-clamp compatible distilling systems. The stainless steel condenser integrates into a modular distilling system, cooling vapour by passing it through multiple tubes, efficiently condensing it into liquid.

As a product condenser, the Condenser acts as a compact yet powerful solution for efficient vapour condensation in your distillation setup. With five internal tubes designed to maximise surface area and heat exchange, it rapidly cools vapour into liquid distillate. Constructed from high-quality 304-grade stainless steel and equipped with tri-clamp fittings, it offers both durability and easy integration into any system.

As a reflux condenser/dephlegmator, when mounted vertically at the top of your column, the Condenser performs as a dephlegmator, delivering reflux control for improved separation and purity. It's short 150 mm length and five-tube layout make it ideal for hobbyists and small-scale distillers looking to precisely manage reflux and fine-tune their distillation process.

Key features:

• Works as a product condenser & reflux condenser/dephlegmator
• Connects to 2" tri-clamp distilling accessories
• 304 grade sainless steel construction
• High temperature resistent food grade silicone

NOTE: PTFE/thread tape, hoses and hose clamps are not included.

• To secure the connection we recommend wrapping the thread on both hose barbs with 2-3 revolutions of PTFE/thread tape in the clockwise direction.
• We recommend hoses with an internal diameter (ID) between 6 and 7.9mm (1/4 to 5/16”). For hoses with a smaller ID, applying hot water to the hose end may assist with assembly; for hoses with a larger ID, hose clamps may be required to ensure a secure connection.

WHATS INCLUDED

• 5-Tube Shotgun Condenser
• 2" Tri-clamp
• 2x Hose barbs
• 2" Silicone gasket

SPECIFICATIONS

• Dimensions: H 14.96 cm x W 5.1 cm x D 5.1 cm
• Port thread specification: G1/4" (BSPP 1/4")
• Hose barb specification: R1/4" (BSPT 1/4"), barb diameter 8mm
• Internal tube diameter: 11 mm
• Weight: 0.796 kg

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.
