“Awesome little unit and so easy to use. Friends with big stills are extremely jealous at how easily I can make spirits after work but they have to book a weekend to cook theirs!”
“Very simple to use ... the kit comes with most things you will need except for maybe a big jug (5 litre) ... I had watched the videos before pulling the trigger and within a couple of days of receiving I had made quite passable clear spirit (vodka-ish). Turbo yeast is an eerie but satisfying process.
The team were awesome and freight was quick. I had a beaker that broke in transit, but they replaced it with no fuss.
Tips ... start simple, consider double distilling ie distilling, diluting, distilling again, dilute for finished product.
Also the standard filter actually sits so tightly that you will get a vacuum seal and it won't filter. Slip a chopstick or something down the side I ended up sitting the top up higher.
Oh and if you are distilling something you've fermented like juice based wine ... realise when you are done, your going to have a vat of juice coloured water. I expected it to be empty but this made sense when I thought about it.”
“Excellent Kit! For someone like myself just starting out it's fantastic and quite an easy process to start producing. For me I just make a sugar wash and when its ready use 4L at a time in the Air Still Pro on a reflux run with ~1/2 a cap of Conditioner and around 4 HR's later you have ~600ml of 90% (then dilute it down to 40% and put it through carbon to filter it). Also for giggles tried running 4L of nasty cheap fortified wine through a Pot run, amazed it produced clear 60% then I diluted it down to 40% and ran it through again using a Reflux run which produced 90% clean (and removed the nasty smell of the wine). For a small operation its great.”
