{"product_id":"air-still-pro-complete-distillery-kit-still-spirits","title":"Still Spirits Air Still Pro Complete Distillery Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Air Still Pro is a compact benchtop distillery: it sits on the kitchen bench, runs off a normal power point, and packs away in the pantry when you are done. No hoses, no plumbing. And this is the complete kit, not just the still: the fermenter, the filtration, the measuring gear and the ingredients for your first run are all in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you can make.\u003c\/strong\u003e One unit, two modes. Reflux mode delivers clean neutral spirit up to 90% ABV, the base for vodka and any Top Shelf essence. Pot still mode keeps character in the spirit at up to 80% ABV, and the included botanical basket makes it a gin still. Whiskey, bourbon, rum, liqueurs and infusions all start from the same neutral base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the Pro.\u003c\/strong\u003e A built-in fan does the condensing, which is what makes it an appliance rather than a project. A reflux run takes about four hours for roughly 600ml at around 90%. And it works the first time: one owner put it, 'no muss no fuss, worked first time.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOwner tips.\u003c\/strong\u003e Grab a 30L fermenter early so one ferment feeds several runs. For an ultra-clean drop, double distil: run it once, dilute, run it again. If the carbon filter seals too tight and stops flowing, change the filter washers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHamish's verdict:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is the one I point people to for getting into distilling without overcomplicating things. If you like the idea of making your own botanically infused gins, it is a brilliant option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow it compares.\u003c\/strong\u003e Against the standard Air Still: the Pro adds the reflux column and dual modes (the standard unit is pot-only to about 60%). Against a Turbo 500: the T500 is water cooled and built for bigger volumes and maximum purity; the Pro is the compact, fan cooled way in. Start here, scale later if you catch the bug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on the law:\u003c\/strong\u003e in Australia you need a licence from the ATO to distil spirits, including at home. The Air Still Pro also has uses that do not require a licence, such as distilling water and extracting botanical oils and hydrosols.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Still Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41995040194637,"sku":"48029","price":799.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/8306\/0045\/files\/48029.jpg?v=1754076883","url":"https:\/\/www.australianhomebrewing.com.au\/products\/air-still-pro-complete-distillery-kit-still-spirits","provider":"Australian Home Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
