  • Instructions

How do I distil essential oils?

Previously there has been a mention on the boxes and front of the instruction manuals of the Air Still stating that this unit should be used for distilling/extracting essential oils. This unit is not best used for distilling essential oils, this is best done using the Alembic Pot Still setup. However, it is possible to be done with the Air Still. This differs depending on the material you use. But a good guide is as follows:Β 

Rosemary -Β Use 300 g of rosemary leaves and 3.65 L of water (don't fill over the max amount). Turn the Air Still on, collect the distillate (preferable in fractions). We recommend collecting no more than 80% (3 L) otherwise it will boil dry and cook the rosemary.

You will collect 3 L of hydrosol (water/flavour) and a small amount of oil on top - the essential oils. Use a pipette to collect the essential oil. If you're going to make alcohol from this afterwards, boil 2-3 lots of water through it first otherwise your alcohol will smell like rosemary.


How do I distil water?

Before use, clean the inside of the still and fill it with clean water to the 4L line which is marked on the inside. Make sure that no water is spilt on the outside of the body and ensure that both electrical sockets are clean and dry.

  1. Fit the top cover of the still in place and plug the fan lead into the socket in the still body.
  2. Place a 4L collection jug under the outlet nozzle.
  3. Press the reset button on the base of the still.
  4. Connect the main power cord between the still and the mains power socket.
  5. Turn on the mains power socket switch.
  6. You will hear the fan in the top cover of the still start.
  7. It will take about 1Β½ hours for the water to heat up.
  8. Once distillation starts, water will begin to drip into the collection bottle.
  9. The still will take about 10 hours to distil off the 4 litres (1 US gallon) .
  10. The power supply reset switches off automatically when the distillation is completed.
  11. You will need to press the reset button on the base of the still before you next use it. After distillation the water needs to be polished. We recommend filtering the distilled water through a Still Spirits Air Still Carbon Filter.

Using the Infusion Basket

The Still Spirits Air Still has a hole under the lid where the vapour enters and condensers in the cooling coil before coming out as liquid alcohol. If botanicals get stuck within the cooling coil, this may cause unwanted pressure build up inside the unit.

To prevent this, when using the Air Still Infusion Basket, we suggest to:

  • Use a muslin cloth, hop bag or tea bag if using small plant materials such as driedΒ herbs and spices.
  • Use plant materials that are larger than the hole under the lid (greater than 1cm).
  • Do not turn the top of the Air Still upside down when inserting the basket to ensure no plant material falls into the hole.

Air Still Package from Distillery King

"Excellent...I am a complete novice but as soon as I saw the Air Still without complicated piping for cooling I was hooked. (My Italian Grandmother used to distil grappa from cheap wine from the Victoria Market using her pressure cooker)..Im getting deeper into the science Via You Tube but can totally reccommend Distillery King if you are thinking of getting into this 5000 year old craft..."

"Really impressed with overall look and ease of use of this still."

Dave D. (5/5)

Air still

"Very easy to deal with and quicker than expected delivery"

Keith S. (5/5)

Excellent starter kit.

"I purchased my Air Still around 12 months ago and have made over 10 batches. I was a complete newcomer to this however there are excellent videos on YouTube that hold your hand all the way from making the wash, to a drinkable product. The quality of the end product is often far better than what one can purchase as a mass produced spirit. I've made bourbon, vodka, gin, scotch (single malt), Galliano and a Mango Schnapps. Today I will be making a Drambuie and a Banana Schnapps. If you want to get keen, you can purchase bottles from the 2 dollar shop and print off your own labels to give your product a more cottage industry look. This kit is compact and easy to store making it ideal for persons living in high density living areas or the bloke that doesn't drink faster than this kit can produce. This site can deliver all the items you need to get started. I'm a massive fan."

"Works really well! Predictable and trustworthy just as the instructions say. A lot of fun exploring different flavourings too. Doesn't intrude on the kitchen landscape either!! Best little system I've seen by a long shot!!!"

Q&A

What proof alcohol can I distil?
Hi Shane, you can make 60% ABV with the Air Still 😊
Does this kit come with a hydrometer? It is not listed in the product list
Hi Will, this pack does not have the hydrometer, if you'd like the hydrometer I recommend the Air Still Mini Distillery kit: https://distilleryking.com.au/collections/air-still/products/new-still-spirits-5l-air-still-mini-distillery-super-pack
Can you please let me know if there is anything else required for an initial set up to distill for gin. I'm good on the infusing process but i've been working with basic vodka and i'd like to make it all from scratch. Thanks J
Hi Joanne, this pack has everything you need to get started. It will make a pure alcohol for you to infuse. You also have the option to add the infusion basket if you want to put the botanicals in the still to make a distilled gin.
