How to Brew Spirits at Home
Our video demonstrates the basic 4-step process that will ensure you are enjoying superb spirits made by you. Even better, distillation with the Still Spirits Air Still takes just two hours on your kitchen bench, and the end result will be 1 L of very clean-tasting spirit at 40%. No water cooling required.

Still Spirits produces the number one selling home distillation systems in the world, which include their Turbo Air Still System.

Once you are set up, the average cost per 700 ml bottle of whisky, bourbon, rum, etc. will be around $10. You will also be amazed at how clean and full-flavoured your home-crafted spirits taste — and your mates will love it.

How do you make alcohol with the Turbo Air Still?
As demonstrated in the video, it is a simple 4-step process:

1. Ferment – your sugar mix with Turbo yeast for 7–10 days to produce your spirit alcohol base. (Dead easy.)

2. Distil – the alcohol base in the Air Still. In one hour, you will have produced 700 ml of distilled alcohol at around 60%. If you make a 25 L fermented wash, you will produce enough to run approximately 5–6 batches through the still.

3. Filter – the distilled alcohol through activated carbon (gravity does all the work).

4. Select whisky, rum, or bourbon essences, etc., to make your favourite spirit.

This Still Spirits Air Still System will make 2 L of finished distilled alcohol at 40% strength every time you ferment a 10 L wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is making my own spirits easy?
The Still Spirits process involves the fermentation of alcohol from a mix of nutrients, sugar, and yeast to create a distillate. The distillate is then filtered with activated carbon to remove unwanted flavours. Pure, clean alcohol is the result that, in most cases, is cleaner than that produced from more traditional sources.

How difficult is it to make spirits at home?
It is an easy 4-step process.

Firstly, the sugar and water are turned into alcohol by fermenting with yeast. Secondly, you separate the purified alcohol from the water in the wash by distilling. Distillation is done by heating the wash in a still, boiling off the alcohol, and condensing the vapour back into a liquid. Thirdly, water down the alcohol to 40%, then use a carbon filter to filter out most of the remaining trace impurities. You will now have a clean spirit with no flavours or tastes.

Finally, simply add your favourite spirit or liqueur essence to make your favourite scotch, bourbon, rum, or liqueur. There are hundreds to choose from.

How much does it cost to make spirits at home?
A fraction of what it costs to buy spirits such as scotch, bourbon, rum, gin, and liqueurs. It will vary a little depending on the ingredients you use or the type of spirit you make. Most spirits you make will cost between $10 and $14 per 700 ml bottle. Making spirits at home can become a brilliant hobby, and you will be able to amaze your family and friends with the quality of the drinks you have produced.

How long does it take to make each batch of spirits?
Depending on the type of yeast and nutrients and the process you follow, you can be drinking your own homemade spirits within 7 days.
