the air still

The Air Still​ is the fast and simple way to make your favourite spirits and liqueurs at a fraction of the cost. Finally...a still to take its place amongst everyday kitchen appliances! It looks like a kettle, works like a kettle - but it makes alcohol! The Still Spirits Air Still system uses a revolutionary still that will be right at home amongst your everyday kitchen appliances. Stainless steel body, built in air cooling system so it uses absolutely no water for cooling - great for regions where water shortages are a problem. 

Distillation takes just two hours and produces enough alcohol each time to make a 1 L bottle at 38-40% ABV. No compromise on quality. Revolutionary non-technical design. No hoses, no complicated assembly... just plug and play! As simple to operate as the kitchen kettle, Great value for money, safe and easy to use which is ideal for the new distiller, can be used for alcohol distillation and water distillation. 

NEW: THE air still PRO

The AirStill Pro is a dual mode still, giving you capabilities of both a pot still and a reflux still by the flip of a switch! The AirStill Pro enables you to produce clean, neutral spirits at up to 90% ABV in reflux mode and make flavourful or botanical-infused spirits at up to 80% ABV in pot still mode. An automatic foreshot collection vial captures the first 30mL of distillate, allowing you to discard the "heads" easily. Other reflux stills require an input cooling source, but the Air Still Pro column cools itself! 

This still is very easy to use and is suitable for keen beginners or more advanced distillers looking for a multi-purpose still. 

Also suitable for distilled water and hydrosols. 

Already have an AirStill? You can also get an AirStill Pro Head Unit to upgrade your current AirStill!

The T500 allows you to collect an astonishing 95% of the possible alcohol from the wash. This comes out at an amazing 93% alcohol purity which beats every other still on the market. 

High quality alcohol made with the T500 can be used to make high quality, commercial grade, clear spirits such as Gin, White Rum and Vodka as well as any of the other spirits and liqueurs in the Still Spirits Essences range.
