Distilling Legally and Confidently Under ATO Guidelines

Distilling alcohol in Australia requires a licence from the Australian Taxation Office. That said, you can legally own and use a still up to 5 litres for distilling water, essential oils, and botanical extracts without a licence (ATO – Stills and Distilling).

This 5-litre threshold isn’t a limitation at all. It’s the ideal starting point for crafting concentrated flavourings, distilling pure water, and exploring botanical essences. We give you clear, upfront guidance so you understand exactly what’s permitted, what’s not, and which kit suits your intended use.

Matching the Kit to Your Lifestyle

Different residents need different setups. Here’s how we approach it:

• Apartment dwellers near Monash University: compact, quiet, table-top units with minimal footprint.
• Townhouse owners along Clayton Road: mid-range copper or stainless kits with room to scale.
• Established homeowners with garage space: larger boilers, dephlegmators, and refined column setups.
• Returning hobbyists and craft distillery operators: specialised tri-clover parts, custom fittings, and harder-to-source componentry.

Chasing a weekend project or building a serious flavour lab? Either way, we’ll help you avoid the generic advice that plagues online forums.
