Great parrot
"Excellent quality for the price. The only downside is there's no capture cup, I had to put a funnel in the top"

The Stainless Steel PolyPhoenix Distillation Parrot can be height adjusted using the wire stand, or mounted directly to your PolyPhoenix Distillation set up via the 1.5" Tri-Clover input port.
If you are mounting this directly to your PolyPhoenix still, we would encourage using some support brackets to counteract weight distribution for stability.
A distillers parrot is a piece of kit that allows you to take alcohol gravity measurements using an Alcometer continuously throughout your pot or reflux run. It should be placed inline of your distillation outlet so that the drops of distillate fall directly into the tallest collection cone.

1 x KL39567 Quick Swivel Connector 1/2' x Stainless Steel End Cap (18mm)
1 x Small Alcometer Spring Protector (Not sold as a spare part!)
2 x M6 x 14mm Wing Nut and Bolts
When used at maximum height with two wing nuts installed it is 460mm High to the TC Port.
You can also install a 1/2" BSP Ball valve on the bottom port of the parrot to dump and retake a measurement of the current distillate exiting your still.
This product is ultimately designed to be used with a:
1 x KL04305 Alcometer (0-100%) (not included)
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 15 reviews.

"Excellent quality for the price. The only downside is there's no capture cup, I had to put a funnel in the top"
"Is there a collection cup that connect to the top? It looks like there is potential for some spillage coming off of the condenser ."
"As usual fast delivery and great product."
"Thanks"
"This ‘little’ bastard works a treat, be sure to put in the included spring for the Alcometer (so it doesn’t break when placed in the reservoir), & as a starter home distiller it is awesome having a visual reference when taking cuts…. despite my wort/wash being unsubstantial 😝 (please forgive mess as we’re renovating)"
"Ready to use tomorrow"
"Had been on the fence for a little while procrastinating about buying one of these vs making one. Bought one and have used it a few times wouldn’t do a tun without it now mich easier and works in real time."
"That's great keeps the steady eye on my levels of spirits so I know when the cut my cuts so I don't have to deal with lower quality alcohol"
"All very good"
"Works well"
