If you are using a pump, ensure it is a high-pressure pump capable of doing so. We recommend using mains water here in Australia as we have a supply of about 100psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasiest Still to Use - That's our guarantee\u003cbr\u003eThis bulletproof design is so easy to use that we are giving you a guarantee that you will get great spirit in no time at akk.  All you need to do is make sure you have adequate water\/coolant flowing through the head and just about everything else will look after itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Many Boilers\u003cbr\u003eThis still design is compatible with many boiler types.  One option is just get a pot and drill a 47mm hole in the lid and this still will fit no worries.  The still also fits many standard boilers such as the standard Turbo Boilers, Robobrew, and we have been told by our customers that it also works with the Grainfather . This still can also fit the top of stainless steel kegs too.  So you can easily make your own keg boiler.  You can use a 2inch tri-clover clamp (not included) and then use the clamp to attach this still to the top of a 50L keg.  So you will not find a more compatible still design that fits a wide range of boiler types.  This can do it all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolid Copper\u003cbr\u003eUnlike 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 sulfur out of the spirit.  This process means you get less \"off-flavours\" and you simply get better quality spirit.  Copper is an expensive metal now and it definitely increases the cost of the still manufacture but we can say for sure that there is a very good reason why it's still the preferred material by many serious distillers simply because the results are superior.  Don't listen to other people tell you that stainless is the best.  There is no substitute for copper and a still like this will last you a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple Assembly and Setup\u003cbr\u003eThis still is mostly assembled but you still have to connect your garden hose and coolant supply. You can just use your garden hose but it's a bit of a waste of tap water so we recommend that you get a tank at least 500liters in size then use a powerful recirculation pump to drive the still.  We would recommend one of the Ozito pump's that you can get from Bunnings or any other suitable high-pressure pumps you can purchase this separately yourself.  We wouldnt recommend a pump too small as you need a reasonably powerful pump to push the water through the condenser as there is a lot of flow restriction in the condenser head. Flow rate is not as importanty as a high head pressure\/maximum pressure capability. When you get the still you just need some teflon tape and just attach the fittings as show in the photos above in this add.  Please make sure you connect all the fittings and check for leaks before you start distilling.  There is nothing worse that trying to attach a fitting once the still has heated up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead free brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead free silver soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh quality manufacture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper easy to use and will produce high quality spirit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAustralian Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistillation is a long process and if you want to automate the process you can use this KegLand Temp controller:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kegland.eu\/products\/rapt-temperature-controller-standard-10amp-socket\" title=\"RAPT Temperature Controller\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRAPT Temperature Controller\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can use this temp controller to automate the distillation process and this is a massive time saver.  More on how to do this in this video below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to use this pot still for making products like Gin you might want to consider this \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kegland.eu\/products\/2-inch-tri-clover-extension-tube\" title=\"Stainless 2inch Tri-clover Extension tube\"\u003estainless extension\u003c\/a\u003e tube that you can use for botanicals.\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kegland.com.au\/alcoengine-pure-distilling-pot-still.html\" title=\"Alcoengine Pot Still\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eThis extension tube can be used on a pot still so that you can fill the tube with botanicals.  This means the vapour coming from your boiler will come up from the boiler and infuse with further.  It's expained in part of this video below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KegLand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54865658970492,"sku":"KL04633","price":139.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/6051\/8164\/files\/alcoengine-copper-pot-still-kegland-1_2b8ca272-dc50-4e69-ad90-ee52be8e6b65.png?v=1736419444","url":"https:\/\/kegland.eu\/products\/alcoengine-copper-pot-still","provider":"Kegland EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
