Botanical Basket for FSD Pot

Postby Bustah » Mon Sep 18, 2023 3:14 pm

Hey guys! Figured this was the right forum, let me know if there's a better one! Just wondering what botanical basket people are using? I'm looking for a vapor infusion, something like the t500 botanical basket but bigger (i've heard they don't really fit enough for a proper gin)

I found a triclover one at brewers choice that screws into the still spirits alembic head, any guesses at to if it will work with the t500 boiler plus the FSD modular pot? Or is there something on the FSD shop that i'm completely skipping over :-D

Carter head on 5stardisting will do what you want along with the 2" or 4" pot.
The 4" can be added to too make a 4" bubbler the 2" cannot.
Ring them and talk to andrew...

If it’s a small basket you’re looking at , just go a 2” sight glass tower and a seal with screen. Stick that below the pot still and fill with botanicals .
Sure a Carter Head is the ultimate but really not feasible for very small batches and it would crush a 25L turbo boiler :text-lol:
And yea as Bluc said , give us a call and we can chat about what you want/need/can afford
