Build a tidy, dependable setup with gear that fits real homes. Choose compact air stills for benchtop runs, carbon filtration to polish neutral spirit, fermenters with taps and airlocks, and bottles or flagons for storage. Add alcometers, hydrometers, thermometers, and heat control to keep each step consistent from wash to bottle.
Start with a complete kit or piece it together at your pace. Cleaning and sanitising gear does most of the heavy lifting for quality. Record temperatures, timings, and cuts, then adjust in small steps. Our range covers first batches through to long service use, with spares ready when you need them.
What is a basic setup for neutral spirit?
A fermenter with tap and airlock, quality yeast and nutrient, cleaner and sanitiser, an air still or reflux still, collection jars, alcometer, hydrometer, hoses, and carbon filtration. Give the wash time to clear before distilling, and keep fermentation temperatures steady for a cleaner result.
Why use carbon filtration?
It captures trace compounds that can dull aroma and mouthfeel. Fresh carbon, slow contact, and thorough rinsing give the best finish. Replace media regularly. If you change recipe or yeast, run a side by side filter test to see the difference in the glass.
How do I plan upgrades?
Start with reliable basics, then add temperature control, better flow control, and higher capacity filtration as your volumes grow. Keep a maintenance list for seals and hoses. Small, regular improvements add up faster than big jumps that change everything at once.
