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

They really need to supply a list of replacement gaskets or place to buy them.

This unit is great for dipping your toes into distilling. PROS Price Build quality CONS Connections Thermometer The connections are a problem as they don't hold firm when moving things around so if you tighten them the silicone washers get squashed out of shape and leak. I fixed this by using stainless steel washers over the silicone washers. The thermometer only gives the temperature of the pot rather than the steam coming out. I haven't yet looked at a solution but just be aware the thermometer will read higher than the steam temperature.

I am pleased with my 50 litre still. The only improvement would be to have a sticker or embossing to indicate divisional litreage. Great value.

I bought the 8 gallon still. It works great. I love it for the price. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. I did a rum wash and it produced 142 proof rum no issues

Ordered on Friday afternoon and received Monday morning :) ;) I'd watched a few Tube reviews and what I received was even better! All the parts are of excellent quality and carefully packaged. The instruction booklet is educational, funny and easy to understand. It also contains a selection of recipes and helpful hints; all very important to a noob/novice. Thanks to Vevor and Auspost!

Haven't finished cleaning for first run but this still seems to be a real bargain for less than $100.00 USD. The thumper is a bit disappointing. It's a bit too small for practicality but should be sufficient if not over filled. The downspout inside the thumper lid was a tricky connection. I expected a screw on feral to attach it to but after quite a few youtube videos I saw that one of the tapered silicon plugs attached to the threaded portion of one of the fittings inside the thumper lid. I have used a 13 gallon S/S still for years but had no slobber box, or thumper to add flavors to the distillate. I would recommend one of these inexpensive stills for anyone interested in Zymurgy and Alchemy.

We bought this system purely to make distilled water. The quality is very good, and it's easy to set up and use. The only thing that needs "fixing" is that the condenser is far too small and the number of turns in the "worm" is far too small. With water distillation, the efficiency is quite poor because the steam is not cooled as much as is needed in the radically undersized condenser. With the factory condenser, 60% is the best efficiency I could get. I added a second condenser with 20' of copper in a 10-gallon bucket. With the added condenser, the efficiency is over 90%. When used for alcohol distillation, the small condenser pot and worm might be good enough at the lower temperatures. But, as I said, my unit is dedicated to water distillation only. Lastly, I'm sure the info is someplace on the Vevor website, but it would be nice to be able to easily find replacement parts like gaskets and such. Then again, I don't need them right now...just looking ahead! Overall, a good product that I would recommend.

Other than the fact they delivered it to the wrong address and it was missing an important part, the quality is quite good. Luckily the part that was missing was interchangeable from the one i was replacing. The overall construction was well made and it looks like the new style seals and gaskets will last longer than the old one i had. I have already used it twice and works very well. This 8 gallon version is about the perfect size for new or experienced users.

Very nice for a beginner or with a couple of mods will be useful for years to come. Worth having for distilling or family crab or corn boils. It works very well on induction cooktop. As soon as I receive the still I used the box it came in to insulate the pot as it won't be over fire the cardboard insulation will work great. I coated all the insulation with duct tape to make everything water proof as possible. Very happy with the still pot.

Great Product Fast shipping I'm so glad to have found Vevor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
