Still Spirits
Still Spirits are the New Zealand house that made home distilling accessible, and the range they build is a complete system rather than a shelf of unrelated products. Two hundred and twelve lines here.
The Top Shelf essences are what most people come for. Kentucky Bourbon, Dark Spiced Rum, Honey Spiced Whiskey Liqueur and the rest of the range, designed to be added to a neutral base rather than to do the work themselves. The Classic and Icon ranges sit alongside them, and there are gin botanicals including a London Dry blend if you would rather infuse than flavour.
Turbo yeasts are the engine. Classic 8 is the workhorse and comes as a single or a three pack, and there are dedicated distillers yeasts including a 20g whiskey strain for when you want character rather than neutrality. Turbo Clear sachets drop the yeast out at the end, and the distilling conditioner smooths what comes off.
For the hardware end, the alembic copper pot condenser, the Create+ copper dome and condenser, the T500 condenser and the G40 distilling lid with a 100mm triclover fitting all live here, along with a dome attachment kit for adapting gear you already own.
There is Bundaberg food grade molasses in 14kg for anyone working from scratch rather than from a kit.
Australian law around home distilling is specific, so check what applies to you before you buy. Ask us at Laverton North or Epping and we will walk you through the range. See also alembic stills, distilling yeasts and essences.

The Create+ Voltage Controller allows for better control of cuts during a spirit run. Reducing the heat input using the voltage controller will allow for a slower controlled distillation; this makes it easier to distinguish between heads, hearts and tails. Especially useful during pot distillation or vapour infusion spirit runs.
It also allows for the ability to then increase heat input as the distillate output slows towards the end of a run. This is especially useful towards the end of a pot distillation run during the ‘tails’ of a spirit run.
Designed for use with the Create+ Boiler 25 L. Electrical Safety Certified for use in New Zealand and Australia.

A smooth, warming flavour with notes of vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and hints of citrus. Styled after Caribbean spiced rums, it reflects the region’s tradition of infusing aged rum with a blend of spices and natural flavours.
This essence replicates the profile of well-known commercial spiced rums, balancing sweetness with subtle heat and complexity. It embodies the craftsmanship of Caribbean rum makers, where rich, golden rums are enhanced with carefully selected spices.
Spiced rum traces its origins to the Caribbean, where sailors and distillers began adding local spices and fruit to rum for improved flavour and preservation. Over time, the style gained popularity, evolving into the modern spiced rums known today for their bold, aromatic character.
Pick Classic Spiced Gold Rum if you enjoy Captain Morgan’s Spiced Gold Rum.

Also known as chalk, Calcium Carbonate is suitable for brewing dark beers, which require a CO32- concentration of at least 150 ppm. It is used for increasing Residual Alkalinity in the brewing water as well as raising the mash pH. Additions can be put in the brewing water or directly into the mash.
1 gram of CaCO3 per litre of water contributes:
- 400 ppm Ca2+
- 600 ppm Total Alkalinity as CaCO3
- 20 mEq/L Alkalinity as CO3-2
Calcium (Ca)
Calcium is the primary ion determining the “permanent hardness” of the water. Calcium plays multiple roles in the brewing process including lowering the Ph during mashing, aiding in precipitation of proteins during the boil, enhancing beer stability and also acting as an important yeast nutrient.
Calcium levels in the 100 mg/l range are highly desirable, and additives should be considered if your water profile has calcium levels below 50 mg/l. The range 50mg/l to 150 mg/l is preferred for brewing.
Carbonate and Bicarbonate (CO3 and HCO3)
Carbonate is considered the most important ion for all grain brewing. Carbonate (or bicarbonate), expressed as “total alkalinity” on many water reports, is the ion that determines the acidity of the mash.
It also is the primary determinant in the level of “temporary hardness” of the water. If carbonate levels are too low, the mash will be too acidic, especially when using darker malts (which have higher acidity). If carbonate is too high, mash efficiency will suffer. Recommended levels are 25-50 mg/l for pale beers and 100-300 mg/l for darker beers.
Note that bicarbonates and temporary hardness can be reduced by pre-boiling the water – the precipitate that falls out after boiling is primarily bicarbonate.
Adjusting your Water
Different styles of beer require different water profiles. Often a particular beer is associated with the water profile of the city in which the beer originated. For a listing of water profiles for popular brewing cities of the world, you can visit BeerSmiths water profile listing. If you have a target profile in mind, you can adjust your water to match that profile.
You can dilute your local tap water with distilled water if some ion counts are too high for your target water profile. Similarly you can use additives to increase the level of key ions. Popular additives include table salt (NaCl), Gypsum (CaSO4), Calcium Chloride (CaCl), Epsom Salts (MgSO4), Baking Soda (NaHCO3), and Chalk (CaCO3).
Unfortunately the additives do not add a straightforward amount of ions to the water profile, so its best to use some kind of water profile tool to adjust your local water supply to reach a target profile.

A robust flavour with notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of spice, balanced by a subtle sweetness. Styled after premium American bourbons, it reflects the bold, full-bodied character of bourbon from Kentucky, known for its high-quality corn mash and cask ageing. This essence replicates the profile of well-known craft bourbons, offering a refined, complex taste with a smooth finish. It embodies the craftsmanship of small-batch distillers who focus on flavour depth and quality.
Bourbon has its origins in the United States, with its name derived from Bourbon County, Kentucky, where it was first distilled in the late 18th century. Over time, the spirit gained recognition for its unique production process, which requires at least 51% corn in the mash and ageing in new charred oak barrels, giving it its signature flavour.
