This Alembic Pot Still is made up of the T500 Boiler with a Pot Still Alembic Dome Top and Pot Still Alembic Condenser.
These additions transform the T500 into an Alembic Pot Still. Instead of stripping flavours to give clean spirit like the T500, this pot still retains and enhances flavours. This can be used when distilling washes that contain flavours that you wish to collect.
The Pot Still Alembic Condenser is best used with the T500 Boiler and the Pot Still Alembic Dome Top. You can use this with the T500 Boiler without the Pot Still Alembic Dome Top, to do this it fits on to the lid of the T500 Boiler. This condenser is what differentiates this still from the T500. It is what retains the flavour rather than stripping it out by refluxing. This comes with a thermometer, tubing and tap adaptor set.
The Pot Still Alembic Dome Top is copper and fits on to the T500 Boiler. The large copper surafce area of this dome top acts as a catalyst with the vapour in the still and helps enhance and concentrate the flavours and aromas as well as remove unwanted sulphur compounds. This produces a smoother, richer, sweeter tasting spirit.
Note:
The Alembic shouldn’t be used with the Water Flow Regulator. Even when it’s at full blast, it produces around 2.4L/min. Sometimes when distilling you need a higher flow rate, so the water should come straight from the tap and not the Water Regulator.
Unlike the T500, the Alembic is more forgiving to a fluctuation in temperature. If you connect the tubing straight to the tap, you shouldn’t have any issues.

Hi,
We have used this company for quite a few years now and we are very happy with their products and very efficient delivery too.Denise Albiston (2 Aug 2023, 09:13)
Really pleased with this wine. No way would you think it was home-made. Well up in the £8 to £10 a bottle quality for less than a quarter of that. Trying the Shiraz (Wine Expert) next, but it was a tough decision as I was very tempted to stick with the Merlot. Will report back on the Shiraz in due course.Allan Postgate (30 Dec 2024, 12:51)

I bought two wine kits and one did not have all the necessary parts, only the grape concentrate. I needed to get this started before we went on holiday, Sam chased it up immediately with the suppliers and I received the missing bits in time to start it before we went away. As always, first class service!!Alan Gaffiney (29 Aug 2024, 14:21)
When into store backend of lockdown looking to upgrade my air still to the T500 wanted advice before taking the plunge. Both the guys on the counter was so helpful and went through everything that I needed. This store is about 30 miles away from me and I have to pass at least 2 other shops but it’s worth the hour trip each way. Keep up the service making your customers feel valued 10/10Shaun Murphy (16 May 2021, 18:22)
I live a long distance away but was staying with relatives for the weekend. Decided to visit the shop and so glad I did. They have everything that a home brewer could possibly need. You are free to browse and select what you need. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish I lived closer, but will definitely pop In again when I am able.Phil (29 Aug 2023, 08:49)
