So let's remember for the product you are paying for an hamburger not a steak dinner. This still will fill you up and get rid of your hunger but it's not fancy and doesn't have all the fixings. For the price it's worth it! For an entry level brewer/distiller it's perfect. Honestly it is about the same prices as building your own still but probably safer.Pros1)Good construction no dents, missing parts, or manufacturing Oops2)All in one! I have heard some hate on the idea of fermenting in your distilling pot but I tried it and it seems to be fine. Just don't run high heat when distilling. But for sanitation having everything in one pot and it stays in there is nice.3) All compression fittings! So I like that we don't have to worry about solvents and solder. Plus if something isn't sealed right I can fix it easier with a wrench rather than a blow torch.Con1) Doesn't work with induction! Easily fixed with a steel plate but still another step and makes it less efficient2) Condenser is onto of the still! So yes there is heating/cooling issues with this design. Think outside the box and swing the condenser to the side and put something under it for support. BOOM problem solved, thank you compression fittings!!3)Throw away junk! Throw away the airlock it's junk and buy a new. While your at it throw away the photocopied instruction and YouTube Barley and Hops Distilling. Throw away the hoses and buy new food-grade hoses (I'm just suspect of the ones supplied).
