Turbo 500 Stills
The Turbo 500 system helps you produce clean, neutral spirit with repeatable results. Match a purpose-built boiler with a compatible condenser, then set your water flow for steady reflux and consistent runs. Add carbon filtration to polish the output, and use an alcometer to track progress from first drops to final cut. You will also find the parts that keep a T500 in mint condition, including lids, adapters, filters, hoses, and flow controllers, plus spares for quick fixes.
Copper and stainless condensers each offer distinct benefits. Copper helps scrub sulphur notes, while stainless is easy to clean and tough for frequent use. Keep notes on water temperature, flow rate, and takeoff speed, and you will settle into a repeatable routine. If you are matching components or planning an upgrade, our team can help you select the right path for your space and budget.
What do I need for a basic T500 setup?
Start with a boiler, a compatible condenser, lid or adapter kit, cooling water control, quality hoses, and a stable stand. Add an alcometer, carbon filter, cleaner, and a spare seal kit. A simple logbook for times and temperatures helps you refine results across runs.
How do I control cooling water on a T500?
Use a needle valve or flow controller, then set a steady rate before the run. Aim for consistent outlet temperature, not constant adjustments. Small tweaks have big effects, so change one thing at a time and record the impact for later reference.
