VORTEX Air Cooled Alembic Pot Still Distillery Kit is a complete pot still distillery that needs no cooling water. It combines the Still Spirits VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit, the Create+ Alembic Copper Dome, the Create+ 25L Boiler and the Create+ Complete Companion Kit, so the still and the fermenting, filtering and flavouring gear arrive together. The alembic keeps the flavour of the wash for whisky, rum, brandy and bourbon.

What's included
- Still Spirits VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit: VORTEX Air Cooled Condenser, Create+ 2" modular components, 2" tri-clamps and gaskets
- Still Spirits Create+ Alembic Copper Dome
- Still Spirits Create+ Boiler 25L with lid and 2" tri-clamp to DN40 threaded adaptor
- Still Spirits Create+ Complete Companion Kit: the ingredients and equipment to make a wash, then filter and flavour your spirit
How to use
- Make and ferment a wash with the Create+ Complete Companion Kit, then clear it and fill the Create+ 25L boiler.
- Fit the Alembic Copper Dome to the boiler and connect the VORTEX condenser with the 2" modular components, tri-clamps and gaskets.
- Plug in the VORTEX and set the fan speed with the dial: faster fans cool harder, doing the job a tap does on a water-cooled condenser.
- Heat the boiler and collect the spirit, then filter and flavour with the Companion Kit.
- Care: vacuum the fan grills and fins now and then, and clean the vapour path by distilling equal parts white vinegar and drinking water. Handle the unit by its body, as the fin edges are sharp.
FAQ
How does the VORTEX cool without water?
Vapour runs through two internal tubes wrapped in aluminium fins. The fins draw out the heat and three built-in fans blow it away, so there is no hose, tap adaptor or water going down the drain.
What spirits is it for?
As a pot still it keeps the flavour of the wash, so it suits whisky, rum, brandy and bourbon.
I already have fermenting gear. Is there a version without the Companion Kit?
Yes: the VORTEX Alembic Pot Still with Copper Dome and Boiler is the same still without the Companion Kit.
How do I clean it?
Vacuum dust from the fan grills and fins, and run a distillation of equal parts white vinegar and drinking water to clean the vapour path.
