I already had a air still (not a real one) and could reach 80% abv with that after several distilling runs of nice clear alcohol. I got my pro today, my first batch got me 93% abv, what a amazing machine. (It took way longer then advertised (like 8 hours) for 4 liters of diluted pot still product. Ended up with +/- 1.7 liters of 93% clear alcohol, happy with it!

Hi Jessie, extrapolating from why computers have the fan spins up when powering on... as a part of Power On Self Testing it is best practice to use the safest mode for whatever conditions may be required, the Still may already be hot and until it has fully initialized, and confirmed if it is, it is safer to operate under the assumption that it is already hot. - thanks for the review

Love the video, thereās another camp of people, those who already own the pot still and just need to buy the pro head unit. Iām one of those and bought mine today. Love it

Thanks for this great comprehensive review Jesse.
|
I have the earlier version and I LOVE it! Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review!

This solidifies for me that the original air still will be the ideal solution for test purposes in a commercial setting. The pro innovation is still super impressive, thank you for the non-biased and super informative review, Jesse. Happy distilling.

It is mind boggling to see what Still Spirits accomplished reflux-wise in such a small footprint. However, the price-point is hard to palate. I'd consider just the head unit (I started on the original Airstill), but even that is a tad too much.
But great review vid!

So good! Thanks for this.

Thanks for the thorough review Jessie. Gave the enough information to decide the v1 airstill will do what I need.
|
Thank you for your clear honesty. I have an Air Still and love it and at the stage of taking the next step. Because of your review I now am clear about the way I need to go. š
|
Thank you Jesse for taking the time to make these videos. Super freaking helpful for me as I am considering of getting into this hobby
|
Excellent review, thanks so much for doing this. šš

Got mine and it has been well worth that price in the last couple of weeks I have been using it. I mostly do small batches (750 to 1075ml) of gin or flavored vodka and its size is mostly perfect for that. While the basket is small, I tend to do a mix of in the pot and in the vapor so it has worked fine for me. Now I have a collection of 750 and 375 bottles with varies types of gin and flavored vodka sitting in my bar. Some are sweet desserts while others are rich and savory. "Apple pie" (apple cider, vodka macerated pan seared apples and spices) blended whiskey (has a few shots of bourbon and whiskey added to the finished product), "Cajun Holy Trinity w/ the pope" vodka (green onion, parley, Louisiana bells, garlic, spices, fat washed in bacon grease), "Tri Citrus" gin, "Real Beef Eaters" gin (beef tallow washed spicy gin), and "peppermint patty" vodka (with mint leaves and cocoa nibs) just this week.

I'm sitting here half pissed off my very first run (G&T) and I gotta say - I've watched so many Still It videos over the last month or so as my brain gobbles up all this info. Cheers Jessie for opening my eyes to a hobby I never knew I needed in my life but am now fully committed to (and obsessed with) XD

Great review I'm just getting into the hobby and like the simplicity and compact size of the unit which meets my personal needs.
|
Had mine for a couple of weeks and despite the price, I am very impressed with it.... great review Jessie

After your last video of the AirStill Pro I was really interested in it as I'm just starting into the craft. This review has cemented my decision to get one was correct for me even at AUD875 for the full kit (10l fermentor, temp guage, spoon, carbon filter for spirits, alco and hydrometers, 2.2kg dextrose, Turbo - yeast, nutrient, carbon and clear sachets, 3 essences and a conditioner). As I'll probs only do small batches and given I'm retired, time's not an issue for me so this looks to be the prefect solution. I'll do a cleaning run and then try their sugar wash that came with the kit this weekend. I'll let you know how it goes but i do like your adapted fast vodka receipe. Cheers and keep up the great work š

Hi Jess, loved the review and I placed my order hear in the UK for a head only price or of Ā£290 but that price seems to have vanished with lots of companies offering the head for Ā£300. I have run a couple of air stills over last year and then upgraded to a T500 when disaster struck my glass back and hips gave out and I had to pack my brew stuff away. Three surgical cancelations later due to UK strike action along came the Pro still and will be just perfect for what I can physically handle. Yet another reason to have one..

As someone who already invests a lot of time brewing beer the last thing I want to do is invest even more baby sitting a still. Being able to set and almost forget this unit in my kitchen while I do other things is what makes this unit so appealing. This is also prefect for people who let's face it, aren't angling to become an alcoholic with the litres of distillate they can make with a T500
