Description
Complete Air-Cooled Alembic Distilling Equipment
Bring together the main components required for a Still Spirits VORTEX alembic setup in one complete equipment package.
The Still Spirits VORTEX Alembic Complete Equipment Bundle combines the VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit, CREATE+ Alembic Copper Dome and CREATE+ Boiler 25L.
Together, these components create an air-cooled alembic-style distilling system suited to applications where retaining flavour and character from the fermented wash is desirable. The setup can also be used for distilled water and hydrosols.
VORTEX Air-Cooled Alembic Distillation
The VORTEX Alembic Equipment Kit replaces the conventional water-cooled condenser in the alembic setup with a VORTEX Air Cooled Condenser.
Three integrated fans move air across aluminium cooling fins to remove heat from the stainless steel product tubes. Adjustable fan speed provides control over the rate of heat dissipation during operation.
As a result, the condenser can operate without the additional continuous cooling-water supply normally required by a traditional condenser.
CREATE+ Alembic Copper Dome
The CREATE+ Alembic Copper Dome forms the copper section of the vapour path between the boiler and VORTEX equipment.
Its copper construction provides vapour contact with copper during distillation, while the traditional dome shape makes it particularly suited to alembic-style applications where flavour and character are intended to carry through into the finished distillate.
The dome integrates with compatible CREATE+ equipment through the modular 2-inch tri-clamp system.
CREATE+ Boiler 25L
The CREATE+ Boiler 25L provides the heating platform for the complete VORTEX alembic setup.
Constructed from 304-grade stainless steel, the boiler has a 25 litre capacity and provides up to 2200W heating power. Dual element control allows operation at a reduced 1100W setting when required.
A stainless steel ball-valve waste tap assists with emptying after use, while boil-dry reset and thermal cut-out protection provide additional operating safeguards.

Important Information
Still Spirits specifies limits for the total height, weight and balance of equipment mounted to its Boiler Lid or Alembic Dome. External support may be required where an assembled system exceeds the manufacturer’s specified limits, has significant off-centre weight or is noticeably leaning.
The aluminium cooling fins can have sharp edges. Take care when handling, assembling, cleaning or storing the VORTEX condenser.
Always assemble and operate the equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Alcohol distillation and possession or use of distilling equipment may be regulated. Always comply with applicable laws and regulations in your location.
