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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Still Spirits VORTEX Air Cooled Condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate+ 2\" modular components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting 2\" tri-clamps and gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it connects to\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/distilleryking.com.au\/products\/copy-of-still-spirits-alembic-pot-condenser\"\u003eCreate+ Alembic Copper Dome\u003c\/a\u003e on a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/distilleryking.com.au\/products\/still-spirits-turbo-500-boiler-1\"\u003eCreate+ 25L Boiler\u003c\/a\u003e — or get all three together in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/distilleryking.com.au\/products\/vortex-air-cooled-alembic-pot-still-copper-dome-boiler\"\u003eVORTEX Alembic Pot Still with Copper Dome \u0026amp; Boiler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/distilleryking.com.au\/products\/grainfather-g40-g70-distilling-lid\"\u003eGrainfather G40\/G70 Distilling Lid\u003c\/a\u003e, turning a G40 or G70 into a pot still for bigger all-grain batches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMains power is needed for the fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVapour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVacuum 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLaws on distilling alcohol vary. In Australia, producing spirits requires a licence — check the rules that apply to you before distilling alcohol.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distillery King Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55813025661219,"sku":"57002","price":830.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0475\/4409\/files\/SS_Vortex_Alembic_CTN_3Qtr_57002_LR_4d3a84c1-57d9-4626-92f2-e2c02a537883.jpg?v=1792538846","url":"https:\/\/distilleryking.com.au\/products\/still-spirits-vortex-alembic-equipment-kit","provider":"Distillery King Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
