Still Spirits Create+ T500 Pro Distilling System

The Still Spirits CREATE+ T500 Pro Distilling System combines the T500 Pro Column and Condenser with the CREATE+ 25L Boiler to form a complete reflux distilling setup.

Designed for intermediate and experienced distillers, the system combines a pre-packed copper and stainless-steel column, integrated condenser and dual-power boiler. Its modular 2-inch tri-clamp connections also provide flexibility for compatible CREATE+ accessories and future configuration changes.

The reflux system is designed to produce clean, high-purity neutral spirit for vodka-style spirits, flavouring essences and other suitable applications. It can also be used for water distillation.
