I'm one of those that bought a T500 a couple of years ago without looking at other alternatives beforehand. Yeah, I'm making good neutral but I now want to start making spirits with flavour.
Previous to the T500 I bought an Airstill. As usual I followed the supplied instructions until I found the right way of using one after searching the net and asking on forums. The Airstill has stayed in the cupboard for a while until a few weeks ago when I ran some blackberry Port wine through it to make Brandy. I was actualy quite impressed with the outcome. Turned out it was one of the best brews I have ever made. Now, the thing is, where do I go from here.
I don't want to make massive amounts of flavoured spirits, just enough for myself, a few bottles every now and then. What I'm really asking is, is it worth the expense making a new pot still column for the T500 boiler or is the Airstill good enough to carry on with.
At the moment I'm using Still Spirits flavourings for Gin and Whisky. Would I be able to produce these at a much higher standard using a pot still attachment or is the Airstill good enough. Is there much difference in quaity between the two.
Cheers
