  1. Fit it with 2" tri-clamps and gaskets as the product condenser on a pot still or alembic, or as a dephlegmator on a 2" column.
  2. Plug it in and start your run.
  3. Turn the dial to change fan speed and how hard it cools, the same job the water tap does on a water-cooled condenser.
FAQ

Are tri-clamps included?

No. Get the VORTEX with Tri-Clamps and Gaskets if you do not already have spares.

Will it fit Create+ gear?

Yes, it drops into any 2" tri-clamp configuration, including the Create+ range.

How do I clean it?

Vacuum the fan grills and fins every so often. To clean the vapour path, run a distillation of equal parts white vinegar and drinking water. The fin edges are sharp, so handle it by the body.

Can I get a full still?

Yes, the VORTEX Reflux Equipment Kit and VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit include everything above the boiler.
