How it works
The stainless boiler heats a fermented wash. Alcohol vapour rises into the lid, where a fan-cooled coil condenses it into liquid that drips out of the spout. Because it is air cooled there are no hoses and no tap to connect, which is why it suits beginners, apartments and anywhere water is scarce. It distils water too, and can extract essential oils, although the alembic pot still is better suited to oils.
How to use
- Ferment an 8L wash with an Air Still Fermentation Kit, sugar and water.
- Fill the Air Still to the 4L line with cleared wash, fit the lid and plug in the fan lead.
- Press the reset button on the base and switch on. Collect the distillate as it drips.
- Filter it through an Air Still carbon cartridge, dilute, and flavour with an essence.
FAQ
Air Still or Air Still Pro?
The Air Still is a simple pot still for spirits up to 60% ABV. The Air Still Pro adds a reflux mode for neutral spirit up to 90% ABV, a pot still mode up to 80%, automatic foreshots collection and a botanical basket. An existing Air Still can be upgraded with the Pro head unit.
How much spirit does one run make?
About enough for a 1L bottle of spirit or liqueur. One 8L wash fills the Air Still twice.
Can I distil water with it?
Yes. Fill to the 4L line, press reset and switch on. It takes about 1½ hours to heat and about 10 hours to distil 4L, then switches off automatically. Polish the water through an Air Still carbon filter.
Can I use it for essential oils?
Yes, though an alembic pot still is better. As a guide, use 300g of rosemary leaves with 3.65L of water and collect no more than 3L, or it will boil dry. The oil floats on the hydrosol; collect it with a pipette. Run 2 to 3 lots of water through afterwards before making spirit.
Can I add botanicals?
Yes, with the Air Still Infusion Basket, which clips under the lid. Use pieces bigger than 1cm, or put small herbs in a muslin or tea bag, so nothing falls into the vapour hole and blocks the coil.
Most people buy the Air Still as part of a starter pack. See the whole Air Still range, our Air Still fermentation kit instructions and the complete guide to home distilling in Australia.

"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
- Could you please tell me how many watts does this machine draw. Thanks
- Hi Debra, sure, it's 240v 320 watt.
- I have just produced my first batch and the alcohol tastes great twice filtered. I have a buzz off 2 drinks. The problem is the hydrometer is sinking to the bottom when i try to test the alcohol. Either with water or without. Its definitely not broken because its floating in pure water 🤔🤷♂️
- Hi Weasel, the hydrometer is to measure the specific gravity of the wash prior to distillation to see if it's ready to distill. Sounds like you're trying to measure the ABV of the distillate after distillation, in which case you need to use an Alcometer as opposed to a Hydrometer. Here's a link to the Alcometer: https://distilleryking.com.au/products/alcometer
- Is this for price for the kit including fermenter
- Hi Sean, this listing is for the Still Spirits 4L Air Still only
- does the Still Spirits 5L Air Still have a carbon filter?
- Hi Roy, the Air Still on its own does not come with a carbon filter. You can buy the [Air Still Filter & Collector 1.2 Litre](https://distilleryking.com.au/collections/air-still/products/still-spirits-air-still-filter-collector-1-2-litre) separately or else if you buy the [Air Still Mini Distillery](https://distilleryking.com.au/collections/air-still/products/new-still-spirits-5l-air-still-mini-distillery-super-pack) it's included in the pack :)
