Spirits & Distillation
Distilling at home rewards patience and cleanliness more than equipment. The still is only one part of it. What you ferment, how carefully you make your cuts, what you filter afterwards and how long you let it sit all shape what ends up in the glass. Rules around home distilling vary, so check what applies to you.
Where you start depends on what you are chasing. For a clean base to flavour later, a turbo yeast such as Still Spirits Classic 8 Turbo ferments fast and finishes dry, while Still Spirits Distillers Yeast Whiskey 20g is the one when you want grain character carried through. From there the path forks. Essences are quick and forgiving, and the Curci range covers Limoncello, Amaretto, Anisette Bordeaux, Anice, Alchermes and Millefiori Acqua, with the Mad Millie Limoncello Kit giving you the whole thing in a box. Botanicals are slower and more your own, with Dried Juniper Berries, Coriander Seeds, Fennel Seeds and Whole Pink Peppercorn to build a gin bill from scratch. Polishing gear sits alongside both, including Cordenons filter pads in 20cm and 40cm and cartridges for tandem filters.
Practical advice. Keep a notebook and write the temperature against every jar you collect. Your nose decides where the heads end, but the written numbers are what let you repeat a good run twelve months later.
Browse alembic pot stills, distilling yeasts, essences and botanicals, or come and talk it through with us at Laverton North or Epping.

Fennel seeds have a warm aroma and sweet, anise-like flavour, often used in Italian cooking. Fennel seeds can be ground but they can also be roasted or eaten whole. When roasted they reveal a delicate, almost hidden sweetness. Fennel pairs beautifully with the robust flavours found in cured meats and rich, oily fish like mackerel, sardines, herring and salmon. Roman soldiers are said to have consumed fennel to empower them on the battlefield.
The Filter Cartridge for Tandem Filter is available in 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 5 micron options, allowing you to choose the level of filtration that best suits your needs.

Juniper Berries are dark purplish berry that are known for giving gin its characteristic taste. These berries have a woody, pine-like aroma and a refreshing, spicy flavour. They benefit from being crushed slightly before use to help release the flavours. If you plan to grind Juniper Berries, make sure to grind them immediately before using as they lose their flavour quickly once the seeds inside are exposed. Juniper Berries add a refreshing element to many foods, particularly to heavy, rich dishes and gamey meats.

Pink peppercorns don’t have the same flavour and heat of regular peppercorns, but add a light sweetness and pair beautifully with fish and game dishes. They are a wonderful addition to fruit sauces, vinaigrettes and desserts. Peppercorns can be used whole, cracked, or as a powder, although we recommend having them removed before serving as they are not pleasant to bite into.
Choose this pack if you want the best performing most robust and most versatile yeast to make excellent quality alcohol. It also contains Turbo carbon to clean & filter the wash during fermentation and Turbo Clear to remove the unwanted yeast cells after fermentation.
Adding Turbo carbon and Turbo Clear will significantly improve the quality of your finished spirit no matter how good your still is.

Part A: Once fermentation is complete, stir the wash vigorously to remove the gas. Once degassed, add the contents of Part A and stir well, then leave to stand for 1 hour.
Part B: After 1 hour, slowly pour Part B evenly over the top of the wash while stirring gently to help spread it evenly. Do not stir vigorously as this will disrupt the clearing process. Leave to clear for at least 24 hours. During this time Part B will drop down from the top, taking unwanted yeast and other compounds with it to the bottom.
Ingredients / Allergens
Water, silica solution, acid (malic acid), chitosan (crustaceans), preservative (sodium metabisulphite).
Allergens included: Sulphites and crustaceans.
Classic is the best all rounder Turbo Yeast, performing excellently under most conditions. Use with 8 kg of sugar for high ABV, or 6 kg of sugar for fast fermenting.
