Still Spirits T500 Copper Condenser & Boiler (UK)

The Still Spirits T500 is one of the best-known home copper reflux stills. The copper T500 reflux condenser sits on the 25 litre T500 boiler to form a complete reflux distilling system, built to produce clean, high-purity spirit: the ideal base for vodka, gin and neutral spirit for flavouring. It is also suitable for distilled water and hydrosols.

As a high-performance fractionating column, the T500 condenser collects around 95% of the available alcohol from the wash, at up to 93% ABV purity.
