These instructions have been copied from the Still Spirits instruction sheets for this still.

To Assemble:
Connect the tap connector to a cold water supply and the end of the other hose to a drain.
Fit the Condenser to the Domed Lid and screw tight.
With the electrical socket on the left hand side, fit the lid/Condenser to the boiler with the Condenser outlet to the right.
Fit the thermometer so that the bulb appears on the inside of the black bung by 20 mm. If the thermometer is not a firm fit, a small amount of Sellotape should be wrapped around the thermometer where it comes in contact with the grommet.

Distillation using wash made with standard or TT turbo yeasts:
Plug the cord into the element while supporting the element from the inside of the still. (Do not have the cord plugged into the electrical socket at this point). Add 5 litres of the wash and fit the lid complete with Condenser and hoses.

Plug the cord into the wall socket. Before the thermometer is reading 60 Deg Celsius, start the cold water running through the Condenser.

The flow of water will need to be increased as the wash rises in temperature. It is simply a matter of checking that the water coming out of the outlet on the Condenser is running cold. If it warms up, increase the flow.

Collect the first 100 mls of condensate and put this to one side.

Collect up to, and no more than, 1.1 litres of condensate. Do not collect above 97 Deg Celsius, or if the condensate becomes cloudy, or has a waxy film on it.

Unplug the element, remove the thermometer, Lid / Condenser and discard the remaining liquid.

Repeat steps 1 - 6 with the other 4 batches of 5 litres that you have fermented. With each subsequent batch you can add the 100 mls of head collected from the batch prior, along with the 5 litres of wash, to the still. If you do this you can increase the quantity of condensate collected to 1.2 litres. After the last 5 litre batch has been run, discard the 100 mls head.

Points to watch out for:
a) If for any reason the Wash has not fermented completely (above 990 S. G. all the sugar has not been converted to alcohol), then you will not collect as much distillate through the Still.
b) If you have not collected the full amount of alcohol, check you have:
*used the correct amount of sugar/dextrose in the Wash; and/or
*the specific gravity is below 990 before distilling, and/or
*there is no steam leak during distillation.
c) A typical 5 litre batch will take just under an hour to run through the Still.
d) Do not collect any more body if you notice an oily or waxysurface on the distillation.

From a standard 25 litre wash produced with 7 kgs of Dextrose you should collect at total of 5.9 litres of alcohol at 50% strength in 4 hours. Remember to always measure the strength of your spirit at 16" Celsius. Discard the rest of the fermented wash.
