The Turbo 500 Stainless Steel Pro Kit with Filter Pro is a complete home distilling system designed to produce clean, high-purity neutral spirits with added post-distillation filtration. Combining the Turbo 500 reflux system with the Filter Pro unit, it gives you everything you need to produce and refine your spirit in one streamlined setup.

A complete system from distillation to filtration

This kit takes you beyond basic distillation by including both the reflux still and a dedicated filtration system. The result is a cleaner, smoother final spirit with improved clarity and reduced impurities.

• Full system for distilling and filtering neutral spirits
• Reflux column for high-purity spirit production
• Filter Pro system for refining and polishing your final output
• Designed for consistent, repeatable results

Built for cleaner, more refined results

The Turbo 500 reflux system is designed to maximise separation during distillation, producing a high-purity base spirit. The included Filter Pro then takes this further by removing remaining impurities and smoothing the final result.

This combination gives you greater control over both the distillation process and the final finish of your spirit.

Where this system fits in your setup

This kit is ideal if you want a complete, ready-to-run system without needing to source additional components. It’s also a strong upgrade if you’re looking to improve the smoothness and overall quality of your final spirit.

Well suited to producing vodka-style spirits or a clean base for flavouring and liqueur making.
