This classic older model Still Spirits 25 litre reflux still has made quite a few litres of ethanol and flavoured spirits for us & remains in good working order. Alcohol from a plain sugar fermented wash and added spirit flavours makes for extremely economical supply - and you don't have to worry about mixing alcohol types as they are all off the same base. Included in this offer is: the complete distilling unit, full instructions (including a handy laminated summary reminder sheet), a complete carbon filter purifying unit, 2x options for temperature monitoring, and spare carbon filtering supplies (including a second filter unit). The digital thermometer comes with spare batteries, but a new synthetic cork is needed to fit the column to put it back in service. In the meantime an oven thermometer is set in to another cork which does the job. The marble that rests at the bottom of the column under the cork (to moderate the steam flow) is stored separately with the digital thermometer so it doesn't get lost or rattle around - be sure to pop that in before starting. Distilling for home supply is completely legal in NZ. This kit should not be used for making spirits for sale unless you can comply with the strict laws controlling that. Be sure you drain off the first 50ml of distilled liquid (as per the instructions) as this is not safe to drink. A separate measured catchment unit has been added to help you with this.
