Produce exceptionally clean neutral spirit with the Still Spirits Create+ T500 Column & Condenser, one of the most trusted reflux distillation systems available to home distillers worldwide. Engineered in New Zealand and redesigned as part of the Create+ range, the T500 combines proven performance, premium materials and modern modular compatibility to deliver outstanding results batch after batch.

Capable of producing spirit at up to 93% ABV, the T500 is designed for distillers seeking a highly refined neutral alcohol suitable for vodka, gin, liqueurs and flavour-infused spirits. Its integrated reflux column design simplifies operation while maximising purity, making it suitable for both ambitious beginners and experienced distillers alike.

Compatible with the Still Spirits Create+ Boiler 25L and Grainfather G30, G40 and G70 Brewing Systems, the T500 offers a flexible platform that can grow alongside your distilling journey.

Why Choose the Create+ T500?

The T500 has earned its reputation as one of the most popular reflux stills on the market thanks to its ability to consistently produce exceptionally clean spirit with minimal effort.

Unlike simple pot stills, the T500 uses a packed reflux column filled with copper and stainless steel saddles. As vapour rises through the column, repeated condensation and re-evaporation cycles help separate alcohol from unwanted compounds, resulting in a cleaner, purer distillate.

The result is:

• Cleaner neutral spirit
• Higher alcohol purity
• Reduced unwanted flavours and aromas
• Excellent consistency
• Greater efficiency during distillation

For many distillers, the T500 is the ideal starting point for producing vodka-quality neutral spirit at home.

Produce High Purity Neutral Spirit

The Create+ T500 is specifically designed to create highly refined neutral alcohol.

Typical performance includes:

• Distillation up to 93% ABV
• Recovery of up to 95% of the alcohol from your wash
• Approximately 8 litres of 40% ABV spirit from a 25L wash
• Clean flavour profile ideal for further processing

This makes it perfect for creating:

• Vodka
• Gin bases
• Botanical spirits
• Flavoured spirits
• Liqueurs
• Neutral alcohol for ageing projects

The cleaner the neutral spirit, the better the final flavour when adding botanicals, oak or flavourings.

Excellent for Water Distillation

The T500 is also highly effective for water distillation.

The combination of copper and stainless steel packing helps remove impurities and contaminants more effectively than many basic water distillation systems, making it suitable for producing high-quality distilled water when used according to manufacturer instructions.
