The Alcoengine Reflux Still has been designed to create high percentage pure neutral spirit.

The Alcoengine Reflux Still uses flow management technology tat is robust and easy to use. There is no need to worry about water pressures and fine tuning of water flow speeds. The FM design gives you direct control of the reflux ratio and therefore the purity of your end product.

For enthusiasts wanting to make clean pure neutral spirit.

The whole system is designed to save, time, money and parts, and fit in one box for easier storage.

No more stuffing around with water flow speed!

Some stills are hard to operate and require fine tuning of the water flow in the condenser. This means that you have to constantly adjust the flow of water/coolant to get consistent results.

This still however is a FM design which controls the flow of spirit directly. The flow of the coolant/water doesn't need to be controlled making the still far easier to operate than others.

The purity of the spirit can also be controlled by using the different flow control inserts included with the kit (1.0mm hole and a 0.6mm hole). As the hole gets smaller the speed of which the spirit comes out of the still will decrease and this will in turn increase your reflux ratio and therefore give you higher purity. Typically the 1.0mm insert is good for stripping runs and then on the final cut you can use the 0.6mm insert. Alternatively you can use the ball valve to control the spirit flow too.

Solid Copper;

• Unlike stainless steel stills and stills that are only copper plated, this still is made from solid copper. When your hot spirit comes in contact with copper the copper acts like a catalytic converter and drives Sulphur out of the spirit. This process means you get less "off-flavours" and you simply get better quality spirit.

Features;

• Lead free brass
• Lead free silver soldering
• High quality manufacture
• Super easy to use and will yield results as high as 96% alcohol
• Australian Design

Water Flow:

The water flow at the still head is very easy to setup.

The only real requirement is that you reach a minimum water flow speed of about 8 litres per minute. There is no maximum water flow speed with this still design so you can run the water as fast as you like as long as you are meeting the minimum flow required.

If your flow of coolant to the still head is not great enough you will start to get vapour evaporate from the still head and you will lose your valuable spirit to atmosphere. This can be dangerous around open flames! So it’s always better to use a bit more flow rather than a bit less.

In Australia it is illegal to distil your own alcohol for consumption without a licence from the ATO.

In Australia you can use a still of up to 5lt capacity without a distiller’s licence for either water purification or essential oil extraction.
