Discover compact stills that make distilling spirits at home a breeze.Choose a complete kit for a fast start, or build around your current gear. Add carbon cartridges and a holder for post run polish, an alcometer for strength checks, a hydrometer for the wash, spare seals, quality cleaner, no rinse sanitiser, and heat control. Keep tubing snug and seals fresh. Remember, follow this order when distilling spirits: ferment, run, filter, bottle.

Good airflow matters. Give the unit space, set a silicone mat under the base, and place a tray for drips. Label jars, record start and stop times, and use the same jar sizes. Those habits tighten consistency and highlight quick wins from one run to the next.

Do air stills need running water?
No. The fan condenser provides cooling. Set the still on a stable, heat safe surface with clear airflow. Check the lid seal, lay out your jars, and follow the fill line in the manual. A short pre run checklist helps you repeat the same setup and results each session.

Which accessories help most at the start?
Start with carbon cartridges and a holder, an alcometer, a hydrometer, and spare seals. Add quality cleaner, no rinse sanitiser, and matching tubing. These tools protect flavour, improve consistency, and keep your workflow tidy from fermenter to bottle without adding clutter or extra steps.

The larger packages include the option to ferment bigger volumes of spirit wash and make 5 or 6 litres of spirit per batch. Alternatively, the Air Still Mini Distillery is perfect for those that want to make smaller batches of 2 litres of spirit per batch of fermented spirit wash.
