FAQ
How much spirit does one batch make?
2L of 40% alcohol per batch, from spirit distilled at up to 60% ABV.
Can I make gin or infused vodka?
Yes, with the optional Air Still infusion basket, which clips into the side of the lid. Use a muslin cloth, hop bag or tea bag for small herbs and spices, use pieces larger than the 1cm hole under the lid, and don't turn the top upside down when inserting the basket, so nothing blocks the cooling coil.
Can I distil water with the Air Still?
Yes. Fill to the 4L line with clean water, keep the outside and both sockets dry, and press the reset button before starting. It takes about 1½ hours to heat up and about 10 hours to distil 4L (1 US gallon); the still switches off automatically. Polish the water through an Air Still carbon filter, and press reset before the next use.
Can I distil essential oils?
It is possible, though the Alembic pot still setup is better suited. As a guide for rosemary: 300g of leaves and 3.65L of water (don't fill over the maximum), collecting no more than 80% (3L) so it doesn't boil dry. You will get about 3L of hydrosol with a small layer of oil to collect with a pipette. Boil 2 to 3 lots of water through the still afterwards before making alcohol, or it will smell of rosemary.

"Great product easy to use"
Very easy to use and great results
"My wife wanted this for her birthday. Having tasted mate’s home made alcoholic concoctions in the past, I was sceptical about it, but it’s what she wanted so it’s what she got. Happy to say the results are actually much better than I anticipated. It’s a very straight forward process and the end product is actually quite nice. We’ve only made the spiced rum and a vodka so far, but they both turned out great."

Q&A
- How much electricity does this still use? Does the energy usage change over the process and do you have any inforation on the total electricity used for once complete process?
- Hi Kristy, the resistance of the heating element varies with the temperature change during heating. The power of the Air Still is 320W. The heating element resistance can be calculated based on the voltage value 120V, the result is 45 ohms, but considering the power consumption by the fan, the resistance value can be a bit higher than 45 ohms. AU - 230-240v, 50Hz, 340W The heating element resistance is around 115 ohms. Hope that helps :)
- Can the product you produce with an air still be dangerous?
- Hi Cathy, this is a great question. When using the Air Still with our Air Still Fermentation kits, it is not dangerous, you will always produce safe to drink alcohol. If you decide to ferment something else like fruits using bakers yeast, then yes it can be dangerous as you could unknowingly be producing methanol which is dangerous and deadly to drink. Therefore it is important to stick to proper distilling yeasts and always follow the instructions. Hope that helps, please let me know if you have anymore questions 😊
- Do you still run the spirit through the carbon filter if you are using the botanical basket to make gin? Would the filter remove the flavour?
- Hi Josh, the best way to do it is, first make the pure spirit the normal way, run it through the filter. Then do a second infusion run with the gin botanicals, and once that is distilled that is your final product, you are correct that you should not run the infused spirit through the carbon filter as that will remove some of the flavours.
- Hi, are you able to do rum with this kit?
- Hi James, yes you can, you make a pure spirit with this and use any rum essence we sell to make rum :)
- Is the 10lt fermenter listed here the one with the carbon filter and tap? Or is that one only available in the companion pack? Does this kit contain everything that is in the air still plus companion pack?
- Hi Will, yes this kit includes everything in the Air Still + Air Still Companion Pack + more. There is a 10L fermenter and a seperate carbon filtering system.
