Home Distilling Kit Boronia
At Brewers Choice Home Brew Supplies, we’ve spent over a decade helping people in Boronia swap passive purchases for hands-on mastery. Our distilling kits, copper pot stills, condensers and tri-clover parts give you everything needed to create spirits with genuine character, without the premium price tag of commercial brands. We serve makers from the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges through to Ferntree Gully and well beyond.
What's Inside a Quality Home Distilling Kit
Not every kit is created equal. We stock more than 730 spirit-making products across stills, parts, ingredients and accessories, so you can configure a setup that matches your ambition.
- Boilers and reflux stills for entry-level builds right through to advanced configurations.
- Copper alembic distillation lids and onion heads that bring real character to gin, brandy and whiskey.
- Condensers and copper dephlegmators for cleaner cuts and tighter control.
- Tri-clover parts and fittings have you covered for modular, food-grade builds?
- Stainless steel carbon filter systems, including the StillMate 10L Full Stainless Steel Carbon Filter Pro.
- Pressure relief valves and beeping alarm thermometers: precision measuring devices for safer, more consistent runs.
- Essences, turbo yeasts, turbo sugars and oak barrels/chunks to develop unique flavour profiles.
Starting with your first still? Upgrading to a craft distillery setup? Our team will help you pick parts that work together rather than against each other.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to own a home distilling kit in Boronia?
Yes. You can legally own and use a home distilling kit for lawful purposes such as water purification or flavour infusion of neutral spirits. The Knox City Council planning scheme has no specific regulations preventing residential use for these legal purposes. For any production of alcohol, you should check current ATO requirements.
What do I need to start distilling at home?
A typical starter setup includes a boiler, a still (reflux or pot, depending on your goal), a condenser, a thermometer, cleaning and sanitising products, and your chosen ingredients, whether turbo yeast, turbo sugar, essences or grain. Our team can walk you through a complete package suited to your space and budget.
Do you ship distilling kits across Australia?
Yes. We ship Australia-wide from our Bayswater warehouse, with most orders dispatched within 1 to 2 business days. Boronia customers can also use our click & collect service.
What's the difference between a pot still and a reflux still?
A pot still produces a spirit with more flavour character — it’s ideal for whiskey, brandy and gin where you want the base ingredients to shine through. A reflux still uses a column and dephlegmator to produce a cleaner, higher-proof neutral spirit, which is great as a base for vodka or for infusing with essences. If you’re unsure which suits your goals, our Bayswater team can walk you through both options and help you decide.
How much space do I need to set up a home distilling kit?
Less than most people expect. A basic setup can fit comfortably on a workbench in a garage, shed or covered outdoor area, something most Boronia homes have. Good ventilation is the main practical consideration. Our team can advise on the right footprint for your chosen kit so there are no surprises when it arrives.
Can I use my own garden botanicals in a home still?
It’s best to be very careful with this approach. You’ll want to stick within the recommended guidelines and check the manufacturer instructions.
Do you offer a rewards programme or ongoing discounts?
Yes. Brewers Choice runs a rewards programme and a regular newsletter featuring offers and new product announcements. It’s worth signing up if you plan to build out your setup over time or run batches regularly and the savings add up. You can register through our website or ask in-store when you visit.
