Still Spirits Turbo 500 Stainless Steel Pro Kit - T500 & Filter Pro

$815.00

The details

The Turbo 500 Stainless Steel Pro Kit pairs the Create+ reflux column with the Filter Pro, so the kit covers both halves of making clean spirit: distilling it, then polishing it. The reflux column separates impurities during the run and delivers up to 93% ABV; the Filter Pro then takes the finished spirit through 500g of activated carbon for the final smoothness.

The boiler is not included; the kit needs the Still Spirits 25L boiler, sold separately.

Hamish's verdict: this is the setup if you want to take things a step further than basic distilling. The reflux system gives you clean spirit, and the Filter Pro lets you fine-tune the finish. A solid choice if you are chasing smoother results straight out of the system.

Which T500 system? Building piece by piece: start with the Create+ Boiler 25L and Pro Column & Condenser. Complete reflux system: the Create+ T500 Pro Distilling System. Smoother finish: this kit. The highest level of finish: the Turbo 500 Copper Pro Kit with Filter Pro.

A note on the law: in Australia you need a licence from the ATO to distil spirits, including at home. Stills of 5L or under may be used without a licence for water purification or essential oil extraction. In New Zealand a still of up to 25L may be used at home to produce spirit for personal consumption.

Who it's for

For the distiller chasing a smoother finish than distillation alone gives. The reflux column makes the clean spirit; the Filter Pro polishes it. A strong pick if you want the full workflow in one purchase.

Quick answers

Will the T500 fit the boiler I already have?

It fits the Still Spirits Create+ boiler and the Grainfather G30, G40 and G70. Running something else? Ask us before you buy and we'll confirm it.

How much spirit does one run make?

The Create+ stainless column produces spirit at up to 93% ABV. One wash gives you everything for your first 8 litres of finished spirit once diluted and polished through the included Filter Pro.

Is the cooling water hard to manage?

It takes a little practice to dial in. The water flow regulator holds the temperature for you; it's the add-on owners say they wish they'd bought on day one.

Can it make whisky, gin or rum, or just neutral spirit?

In reflux mode the T500 makes a clean neutral spirit, perfect for essences and gin botanicals. For pot-distilled whisky and rum character, the alembic pot top is the next step; it comes bundled in the Ultimate kit.

Do carbon fines end up in the spirit?

A few can show up on the first pour. Filter Pro papers catch them.

Is it legal to own a still in Australia?

Yes, stills are legal to buy and own. Distilling alcohol requires an excise manufacturer licence from the ATO; distilling water or essential oils needs no licence.
