Still Spirits VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit – Air Cooled Pot Still C...
Still Spirits VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit – Air Cooled Pot Still Condenser is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The condenser side of an alembic pot still, with no cooling water. The kit pairs the VORTEX Air Cooled Condenser with Create+ 2" modular components, tri-clamps and gaskets. Connect it to an alembic dome or distilling lid and you're ready to run.
A pot still keeps the flavour of the wash rather than stripping it, which is why it's the choice for whisky, rum, brandy and bourbon — and for hydrosols and essential oils. With the VORTEX, the fans do the cooling and a dial sets how hard it works.
What's included
- 1 x Still Spirits VORTEX Air Cooled Condenser
- Create+ 2" modular components
- Connecting 2" tri-clamps and gaskets
What it connects to
- The Create+ Alembic Copper Dome on a Create+ 25L Boiler — or get all three together in the VORTEX Alembic Pot Still with Copper Dome & Boiler
- The Grainfather G40/G70 Distilling Lid, turning a G40 or G70 into a pot still for bigger all-grain batches
Mains power is needed for the fans.
How it works
Vapour or liquid runs through two internal tubes wrapped in aluminium fins. The fins pull the heat out, and three built-in fans blow it away. Turning the dial changes fan speed, which changes how hard the unit cools — the same job the tap does on a water-cooled condenser, without the hose, the tap adaptor or the hundreds of litres of water going down the drain each run.
Care and cleaning
Vacuum the fan grills and fins every so often to clear dust. To clean the vapour path, run a distillation of equal parts white vinegar and drinking water. The fin edges are sharp — handle the unit by its body, not the fins, when assembling, cleaning or storing it.
Laws on distilling alcohol vary. In Australia, producing spirits requires a licence — check the rules that apply to you before distilling alcohol.
