How it works

A parrot sits under the still's output. Spirit flows into the collection cone, rises past an alcometer in the parrot's body and spills out of the beak into your collection jar. Because the alcometer is always floating in fresh distillate, you see the strength change as the run goes, which tells you when the hearts are tailing off.

How to use

  1. Stand the parrot on the bench under the still's outlet.
  2. Place an alcometer in the parrot and a collection jar under the beak.
  3. Start the run and read the ABV as it changes.
  4. Switch jars or stop the run at the strength you choose.
FAQ

What is a distilling parrot?

A small vessel that holds an alcometer in the flow of spirit coming off the still, so you can read the strength in real time.

Do I need to stop distillation to check the ABV?

No. That is the point of a parrot: there's no need to stop the run or move spirit to a separate vessel.

Is there one for the T500?

Yes, the large copper parrot head suits the T500.

AirStill Pro

"We started with the AirStill about 18 months ago and have made some pretty interesting spirits over that time, including some quite tasty botanicals. Moving to the Pro however is a game changer for us. Now being able to distil in reflux mode and not have to stand around measuring the output is a great bonus. The Pro is easy and convenient to use, gives an output of around 80% and produces a clean spirit. Recommended!"
