Using the Infusion Basket

The Still Spirits Air Still has a hole under the lid where the vapour enters and condensers in the cooling coil before coming out as liquid alcohol. If botanicals get stuck within the cooling coil, this may cause unwanted pressure build up inside the unit.

To prevent this, when using the Air Still Infusion Basket, we suggest to:

• Use a muslin cloth, hop bag or tea bag if using small plant materials such as dried herbs and spices.
• Use plant materials that are larger than the hole under the lid (greater than 1cm).
• Do not turn the top of the Air Still upside down when inserting the basket to ensure no plant material falls into the hole.

Please note: It’s illegal to distil alcohol for consumption in Australia without a license from the ATO
