CAN I DISTIL ESSENTIAL OILS IN THE TURBO 500?

It is best to use the Alembic Condenser and Dome Top

that can be attached to the top of your Turbo 500 Boiler

if you wish to do this.

BIO FUEL

Bio fuel can be made using the same process as distilling

spirits in the Turbo 500.

I CAN’T FIT THE WATER FLOW CONTROLLER TO MY TAP,

WHAT CAN I DO?

The water flow controller provided in the Turbo 500

Distillation System comes with the thread adaptor M22

x M24 male. Remove the diffuser on your tap and fit the

appropriate fitting. Your Turbo 500 also comes with a

20 mm BSP adaptor to fit your laundry or garden tap,

along with a male hole connector.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN THE DISTILLATION IS FINISHED?

You will also notice the distillate is slower coming out

(one drop every 5 to 10 seconds), that means all the

alcohol has been distilled and the boiler can be

turned off.

WHAT IS THE TURBO 500 CONDENSER FILLED WITH?

The Turbo 500 Condenser column is packed with copper

and stainless steel saddles.

Copper saddles play a catalyst role with your distillate by

reacting with sulphur compounds and eliminating them

from your distillate. Sulphur compounds are molecules

produced by yeasts during fermentation. They are

responsible for off flavours, such as ‘rotten egg’, ‘cooked

cabbage’ or ‘garlic’.

HOW OFTEN AND HOW SHOULD I CLEAN THE

TURBO 500?

We recommend washing the saddles every 5 to 10

distillations, by rinsing the column with water. For a

thorough clean (every 20 distillations or so), rinse your

column with a citric acid mix, (2 tsp citric acid to 1 L

(1 US qt) water) then flush with water 2 or 3 times to

get rid of the acid. Alternatively, you can unpack your

column and soak your saddles in citric acid mix before

rinsing them and placing them back into the column

again. Note that the copper saddles should be placed in

the column first, followed by the ceramic or stainless

steel saddles.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO RUN THE STILL?

The still uses 2 KW/hour (NZ/AU/UK), and 1.5 KW/hour

(US). You can multiply this by the power rate paid, by

the time the Turbo 500 is operating (5 hours for a 20 L

(5 US Gal) wash).

Add to this the cost of cooling water, based on the flow

rate used and the cost of raw materials required to

produce the wash. NZ/AU/UK uses on average

100-125 L (26-33 US Gal) per distillation. USA uses on

average 20-25 L (5.3-6.6 US Gal) per distillation.

HOW CAN I RECYCLE MY COOLING WATER?

You can run your cooling water in closed circuit,

provided you have sufficient amount of water and

ice packs and a pump that provides enough flow. We

suggest using a 200 L (53 US Gal) container (rubbish bin

for example), filled with water, and add 6 x 2 L (2 US qt)

bottles filled with water and frozen a few days ahead.

Your cooling water can also be kept in big containers

and reused later for the garden.
