The Still Spirits Turbo 500 Create+ Boiler is a 25-litre stainless steel boiler designed to pair with the T500 distillation system, giving you a stable, controlled base for producing clean, high-quality spirits at home. Built for consistency and ease of use, it’s suited to both beginners and experienced distillers looking for dependable performance.

Built for controlled, consistent runs

This boiler is designed to deliver steady heat and predictable results, which is critical when running a reflux or pot still. The integrated heating system removes the guesswork, allowing you to focus on cuts and quality rather than managing fluctuating temperatures.

• Consistent heat output for stable distillation runs
• Compatible with the T500 reflux and alembic systems
• Simple operation with minimal setup required
• Designed to support clean, repeatable results

Where this fits in your setup

The Turbo 500 boiler works as the core of your distillation system, making it a natural choice if you are building or upgrading a T500 setup, want a reliable electric boiler without needing external heat sources, or prefer a more controlled, plug-and-play approach to distilling.

It also makes sense if you are moving from basic equipment to a more refined system and want greater consistency from batch to batch.
