Customer Reviews for Vevor 30L 8Gal Alcohol Distiller Water Spirit Boiler Home Brew Copper Alcohol Still

Take some steel wool, needle nose plyers to bend the copper pipe and you can make a thumper out of what was delivered to you.

Easy to assemble & easy up use

Just the right size for a beginner. Better to avoid direct heat by using something in between the fire and pot.

Have not tried this yet. Seems there should be a long tube that goes into the thumper but not included. Have not tried it yet, just assembled. Instructions are not easily understood. Best to just go by the completed unit photos.

Bought for a friend

Recieved it quickly. Was easy to assemble. Did a quick water distill with thumper and had no leaks. The pots were thick enough, but the big pot (8 gal) had a very visible seam going down it. Hope it holds up over time.The thumper keg didn't have a down tube, but I cut some of the water line from the worm to fashion one and it worked fine. Some simple copper fittings & pipe from the hardware store would be best.Would not recommend the 8 gallon for stovetop use.Overall. A good starter kit.

It's a good still that gives you everything that you need. The main issue is that the silicone seals/washers/gaskets (whatever you want to call them) are not very durable. Be ready to buy extras and have them at hand. Highly recommend doing a test water run before doing anything else. Works well!

i heard some talk about this set up leaking but its air tight. the worm pot and worm should be made a little larger. ive had a problem with it not cooling the steam enough

Great customer serviceWith just a slight mod what they are calling the thumper keg can be turned into an actual thumperAs delivered it is only a slobber boxLight welds that may need to be reinforced at a later date but should last if taken care ofSome deep scratching in the main potWorth the price paid

So for what it is, it is not a bad set. There are some initial tweaks that I had to make to make sure the system was tight which leads to next part.The pots and especially the lids are rather thin and not as sturdy as I thought they would be from the pictures. This helped though in forming (re-bending the lids) in order to get a tight seal. Once I did a little adjustment, the system worked quite well. Two runs through it and there are no leaks and everything seems to be holding up well.
