Spiritworks Boiler with Turbo 500 Copper Condenser - Complete Gin Botanical Starter Bundle

All you need to get started making fantastic spirits & liqueurs. You will not find a better value for money kit anywhere.

You also get 4 packs of natural botanicals and a Still Spirits - Botanical Basket For Turbo 500 Condenser so that you can experiment with making spirits using luxury flavourings.

We are now stocking the new & improved Still Spirits Turbo 500 Copper Condenser Column.

The Copper Condenser improves on the original Turbo 500 Condenser Column design by using high grade cooper for the whole construction (instead of the original Stainless).

Operating the Turbo 500 Condenser is now easier than ever thanks to the fact there is only one thermometer to keep an eye on. The new design thermometer (complete with stainless steel probe) on the Turbo 500 Condenser measures the output temperature only, as there is no need for an inlet (top) thermometer. The Spiritworks Boiler is a revelation in design every detail (from the temperature programming to the sturdy handles for easy moving)has been thought about with the small distiller in mind.

In our opinion, the Spiritworks Boiler paired with the Turbo 500 Copper Condenser is the finest piece of equipment we have seen for the small producer.

The quality of the alcohol is exceptional. It still benefits with treatment through the Spiritworks. Filter. This increases the taste quality and removes further impurities.

The main reason for the exceptional quality is the water flow is controlled at all points. It’s therefore essential to get a controlled water supply into the column. This is why a tap connector is used. The connector should be fitted to a tap with a screw thread or one with an aerator (after the aerator disc has been removed from your tap). A 20mm BSP adapter comes with it for the flow controller which will allow you to connect it to a washing machine fitting or tap with an external (male) thread. If this can't be done we can supply a rubber end as a final option. This needs to be ordered separately (and you will not have the same control over the waterflow). As we said earlier, the reason the quality is so good is that we fully control the outlet water temperature by careful restriction of the water flow. To even out the waterflow have a look at the Waterflow Regulator sold separately.

The machine is capable of distilling 25 litres of wash in one go and is superb for essential oil extraction, fuel ethanol production or alcohol distillation (a license is required in the UK).

Spiritworks Boiler

The Spiritworks Boiler is a revelation in design every detail, from the temperature programming to the sturdy handles for easy moving, has been thought about with the small distiller in mind. Temperatures can be set on the display panel but please be aware when the boiler reaches the set temperature it will cut out and only kick back in when it has dropped approx. 3C. This is quite standard in these types of boiler.

Spiritworks Boiler Features

• Temperature control panel for easy setting (and specific temperatures to minimise the of use of Electricity).
• Specially sized Thermal insulation jacket available to protect and save heating lose.
• Coated Twin handles for easy lifting.
• Stainless Steel tap with Safety Locking clip.
• Threaded end on the tap to take dumping pipes (ordered separately).
• External/Internal Litre Graduation marks 5 to 25 litre.
• Boil dry reset.
• Thermal cut out fuse.
• 25 litre boiler with 2000w integrated element and power surge 0-100%.
• Separate Electric cable for ease of moving and storage (can also be easily replaced).
• CE Tested and Approved Conforms to the EU Directives.
• Can also be used as a thermostatically controlled fermenter (from 20C). Temperature cut out will mean accuracy is 3-5C fluctuations. Room temperature must be less than your setting.
• Comes with a bung with a hole for airlock (for fermenting).

Boiler Measurements

• Height (external): 585 mm
• Height (internal): 430 mm
• Diameter: 300 mm
• Weight: 5.5kg

The Filter is designed to clean the alcohol after distillation and remove off flavours and smells which can happen in the process. For the filtration to work effectively it's essential the strength of the alcohol that needs treating is between 40-50% ABV. Please dilute your alcohol to be within this range before starting.

Distillation: For information regarding the distillation of alcohol using this still in the UK please see our UK Disclaimer Page.
