Customer Reviews for VEVOR Moonshine Still 5 Gal 21L Stainless Steel Water Alcohol Distiller Copper Tube Home Brewing Kit Build-in Thermometer for DIY Whisky Wine Brandy, 5GAL, 3 pots

Still haven't used it but I'm sure it will work just fine for my needs it came quickly and packaged better than my ice-cream roll machine because this wasn't beat up like that

Pro: Has really really good detailed instructionsCon: has insanely detailed instructions.. lolI guess I was just thinking you throw some ingredients together drop them in and run some shine. Definitely way way more complex..lol I spent a week reading and learning before I even had the nerve to do vodka run to clean it. Thankfully the kit and internet have a lot of good info. After about 3 weeks of playing reading and a bunch of mistakes I got something Out of it I think was good enough to consume tho alcohol content was lower then I thought it should be.. either way alot of fun and exciting to learn..kinda want to get a lab coat and setup in my camper! lol

I have used this to make distilled "Water" a few times and it has worked like it should, getting the water pump and fittings adjusted just right does take some time but once you get it the system works great.

All parts function well and is versatile. It is rather a pain to use for small volumes though. For a large distillation product it is hard to beat.

I love this Distiller! It's compact, easy to use, and it works great. I love the stainless steal, and it all fits right back in the box when you are done. I would recommend this for anyone who would like to make their own brew.

The 3 gallon still holds 2 gallons of liquid, leaving a 4" headspace. The water lines are pretty short, so I ordered 25 feet of 3/8" ID silicone tubing to reach my sink from the stove (about 10 feet for each line). The unit barely fits under the microwave oven above my stove, if I orient it just so. There are no instructions for using the thumper. Apparenty it's best to have a tube from the inlet to the bottom of the pan, so I bought a 3/8 HBX x 1/4F brass adapter, and attached about 4" of the 3/8" ID silicone tubing. The video on Amazon provided by the manufacturer mistakenly shows silicone seals placed on the inside of the boiler lid ("onion top"), but they should be on the outside. The hot vinegar run discolored the inside of the brass connectors, and created a reddish residue that should be cleaned off. The unit needs to be partially disassembled to do this. There was also metallic residue on the thermometer threads and nut. The instructions are in broken English, but not too weird. The rye whiskey recipe calls for a gram of ammonium fluoride(!), but they mean ammonium chloride. The bottom of the boiler isn't quite flat, so the unit rocks back and forth on my glass stovetop unless I wedge a couple forks under it. Overall it is reasonably well made, for the price.

Awsome lil rig to work with produces well seals could be better but can’t beat the price !! I will buy more from this company for sure great packing and shipping was fast quality was awesome!!

Love this product for small runs. Wish it had a false bottom and more copper, but works great for the price!

This is great to learn on or if you just want to make a quart for yourself. I set this up on a induction cooktop so there is no flame and it will still 5 gallons of wash in a few hours, with a product that comes out to 140 to 120 proof. The bubbler or thumper is not its a slomber keg but there are videos on YouTube that show you how to turn it into a thumper with the parts that came with it. The only complaint I have at the moment is I can't find replacement parts on the Vevor website but I am sure you can find replacement gaskets at you local hardware store.
