    This Alembic Pot Still is made up of the T500 Boiler with the Alembic Copper Dome and Copper Condenser.

    These additions transform the T500 into an Alembic Pot Still. Instead of stripping flavours to give clean spirit like the Turbo 500 Condenser, this pot still retains and enhances flavours. This can be used when distilling washes that contain flavours that you wish to collect. For example a wash contain malt grains for whisky or molasses for Rum or even Potatoes for Vodka.

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

    This will make 10 x 75cl bottles of 40% ABV liquor. Once the kit has been purchased each additional batch will cost approx £2.40 a bottle. See our Cost of Producing Spirits & Liqueurs guide for more details. Alembic volumes will depend on Alcohol strength of the wash.

    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. Be careful when using this with certain distillations from the Alembic as this will also strip out some of the flavours you wish to keep. Experiment with a small amount first.

    Turbo 500 Boiler

    The T500 boiler is capable of distilling 25 litres of wash in one go and is superb for essential oil extraction, fuel ethanol production or alcohol distillation (licence is required in the UK).

    Features

    • Produces 95% yield at 93% purity.
    • Easy to use.
    • Stops producing when alcohol exhausted.
    • The ultimate home distillation unit.
    • This product bears the CE marking and conforms to the EU Directive

    Note:

    The Alembic shouldn’t be used with the Water Flow Regulator. Even when it’s at full blast, it produces around 2.4L/min. Sometimes when distilling you need a higher flow rate, so the water should come straight from the tap and not the Water Regulator.

    Unlike the T500, the Alembic is more forgiving to a fluctuation in temperature. If you connect the tubing straight to the tap, you shouldn’t have any issues.
