Why does this pack have Two different systems? Both Alembic Pot Condenser & Copper Turbo 500 Reflux Condenser

The Alembic Copper Dome Condenser is a Pot Still.  The Turbo 500 Condenser is a Reflux Still and both units are interchangeable with the Still Spirits 25L Boiler. ( Please note the boiler is not included in this kit) . This provides you with the option for two different styles of production. The Alembic Dome and Condenser allow you to distill your fermented ingredients to extract flavour and character during distillation. The Turbo 500 Copper Condenser will provide the ultimate pure neutral spirit.

Distilling Using the Alembic Still vs the Turbo 500? Two Methods
There are two ways to distill your wash. The Turbo 500 Still is a reflux condenser designed to distill pure clean neutral spirit with no taste or flavours. Then it is filtered for purity and essences are added to make spirits of choice.

The second method is to use the Alembic Still to distill alcohol that contains flavours. The Still is designed specifically to collect and retain the character and flavour of the original alcohol. Note if you wish to make gin with the Alembic Dome you will require a botanical basket which you will fill with botanicals and then attach to the underside of the Alembic copper dome. The Basket can be added separately click here. 

What can be distilled in an Alembic Pot Still? 
Use botanicals to make gin, wine to make brandy, or create malt recipes to make whiskey and bourbon and fermented molasses for rum. 

The Alembic Dome provides a very large copper surface area that retains and really enhances flavours and removes unwanted flavours such as sulfurs. The result is a spirit of great richness and character.

CONTENTS CONTINUED - What’s in the Alembic Copper Pot Still Package?

The Still Spirits Alembic Pot Still & Copper Dome system includes

1. The Pot Still Copper Alembic Dome 
2. Copper Pot Condenser
3. Digital thermometer to attach to the Condenser
4. Tubing and fittings to attach to cooling tap water

This Alembic Condenser & Dome retains the flavour rather than stripping it out by refluxing.

The large copper surface 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 sulfur compounds. This produces a smoother, richer, sweeter-tasting spirit.
