Grainfather G40/G70 Distilling Lid

Utilize the G40 or G70 Brewing System to create both reflux and pot stills for producing all-grain light and dark spirits. With the Distilling Lid, an Attachment Kit*, and the appropriate Still Spirits condenser**, the G40 or G70 becomes a comprehensive automated brewing system that can also distill spirits from grain. The Distilling Lid can also function as a steam condenser, reducing the accumulation of moisture on indoor walls and ceilings (when paired with the appropriate equipment). *By using the Distilling Lid and one of our attachment kits, you can attach either a Still Spirits T500 Reflux or T500 Alembic Condenser** to your brewing system.

Create high-quality, clean spirits like vodka or neutral spirits with the Distilling Lid + T500 Reflux Condenser Attachment Kit and Still Spirits T500 Reflux Condenser, or choose the Distilling Lid + T500 Alembic Condenser Attachment Kit for crafting premium, flavourful spirits such as whiskey, bourbon, rum, and gin with the Still Spirits T500 Alembic Condenser. Both condensers are sold separately.

FEATURES:

• Sleek, 304-grade stainless steel build
  
• Includes a standard 4" tri-clamp connection that can be used to connect third-party distilling equipment
  
• Pressure relief valve for safer distilling
  
• Can be used as a steam condenser while brewing indoors (when paired with the appropriate equipment)
  

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The Grainfather G40/G70 Distilling Lid is ideal for small to medium-sized still heads without heavy, off-center attachments. Its flexibility allows for a perfect fit within the following specifications:

A still head height up to 1.1 m (3.6 ft) from the lid.
A still head weight up to 11 kg (24 lbs), including up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs) of off-centre weight from a swan neck, lyne arm, or condenser running in parallel with the column and offset up to 160 mm (6”) to the main column.

We recommend external support if:

Your still exceeds the above specifications.
The lyne arm is not vertical but angled or perpendicular running away from the column, resulting in significantly distant off-centre weight.
If the main still head (column) is noticeably leaning.
Legal Considerations: Distilling at home is legal in New Zealand. Check the laws in your country or state before you get started.
