Grainfather G40/G70 Distilling Lid

Transform the G40 or G70 Brewing System into a reflux still or a pot still to craft all-grain light and dark spirits. The G40 or G70 paired with the Distilling Lid, an Attachment Kit*, and the appropriate Still Spirits condenser** offer an all-in-one automated brewing system that can also be used to distill spirits from grain.

The Distilling Lid can also be used as a steam condenser, minimizing the collection of moisture on walls and ceilings when brewing indoors (when paired with the appropriate equipment.

*Using the Distilling Lid and one of our attachment kits allows you to attach either a Still Spirits T500 Reflux or T500 Alembic Condenser** to your brewing system:

If you're looking to create high-quality clean spirits such as vodka or neutral spirits for flavoring or infusing, choose the Distilling Lid + T500 Reflux Condenser Attachment Kit and a Still Spirits T500 Reflux Condenser**
If you want to craft premium flavourful spirits such as whiskey, bourbon, rum and gin, choose the Distilling Lid + T500 Alembic Condenser Attachment Kit and a Still Spirits T500 Alembic Condenser**
**The Still Spirits T500 Alembic Condenser and Still Spirits T500 Reflux Condenser are sold separately.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The G40 & G70 Distilling Lid is designed primarily for small to medium-sized still heads that do not have heavy, off-center attachments. The lid is reasonably flexible and sturdy enough to fit a still head that is 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-center 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-center 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.
