How to use

1. Making the wash: clean the equipment with the sterilising detergent and ferment your wash in the 30L fermenter, using Premium Spirit Yeast for neutral spirit or the rum and whiskey yeasts for flavoured spirits.
2. Clearing and transferring: clear the wash with Crystal Clear and transfer it to the 30L boiler with Distilling Conditioner.
3. Distilling: fit the reflux condenser for neutral spirit, or the pot still condenser (with the Alembic copper dome or gin basket as needed) for flavour-rich spirits. Heat with both elements to reach a rolling boil, then turn off the 500W element and keep the 1700W element on.
4. Monitor the run through the sightglass and check strength with the proofing parrot.
5. Filter and dilute neutral spirit through the Smart Filter, then flavour with Pure Distilling essences or the Top Up, or age pot-still spirit on the barrel chunks.
