{"product_id":"vortex-reflux-still-kit","title":"Still Spirits Vortex Reflux Still Kit - Air Cooled, No Cooling Water (Boiler Sold Separately)","description":"\u003cp\u003eEverything above the boiler for a reflux still that needs no cooling water. Two Vortex air cooled modules do the work the water jacket does on a T500: one as the dephlegmator, one as the product condenser. A dial on each sets the cooling. The Create+ 2-inch column parts, the saddles, the thermometer and the clamps are all in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt sits on the Still Spirits Create+ 25L boiler (sold separately, or get the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/vortex-reflux-still-kit-25l-boiler\"\u003ekit with the boiler\u003c\/a\u003e). Still Spirits rates it at the same speed, output and quality as a water-cooled T500: up to 93% ABV, about 8 litres at 40% from a 25 litre wash on 6 kg of sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also a 2-in-1. The same parts reconfigure into an air cooled alembic setup when you want flavour rather than a clean neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Vortex air cooled condenser modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x universal power supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e500 mm straight column section\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate+ 90 degree thermowell elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate+ 90 degree elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate+ vented collection cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate+ beeping alarm thermometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Create+ 45 degree elbows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch sieved gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 x 2-inch silicone gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 x 2-inch tri-clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 g copper saddles and 500 g stainless saddles for column packing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic boil enhancers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTether system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 m silicone tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlready run a T500?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the boiler, the fermenter and the filter.

The hose to the laundry, the flow that creeps when someone runs a shower, the shed with no tap. The Vortex takes that off the list and leaves the parts that matter: a clean wash, a steady boil and good cuts. It is a condenser, not a shortcut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot sure which setup suits your boiler?
