Customer Reviews for VEVOR 18 Gal Alcohol Distiller Machine Brewing Equipment DIY Whiskey Home Still

The best pot I have ever owned and at such a great price! There are so many good things to buy and the site as well!

Great steel incredible value. Used it three times so far with great success. Very easy to use. Very good quality impressed with all construction easy to assemble absolutely no issues.

It would be a great idea to add a thumper to it and it would be a great still I've add thumper to mine and wow what a difference in made on proof .

I bought this still as a beginner and it was worth every penny I spent. See the pictures on the website thought it would be small but to my surprise it was huge. The instructions didn’t have any cleaning about it but you can find out how to clean it on the web. But I do recommend getting it if you are a beginner.

We use this for wine and spirits, once you figure everything out it works like a charm. You won't be disappointed

I only have one problem. The condenser tube is made from flexible ribbed steel tubing instead of smooth copper or steel tubing. It causes the distillate to back up in the condenser and "glug." Also, the condenser tube isn't long enough.

Looks great and totally worth the price. Glad I gave it a chance. Would recommend to anyone interested.

I just placed my order, but I've used these stills in the past, and they do work. so some tips for everyone- you can't use a closed container for cold water unless you intend to sit and add ice or replace the water. the water HAS to be cold at all times. not warm not kinda cold but cold cold. I hook my water hose to the inlet port and just drain it as it stays filled. you just have to find the balance. seems to work fine. for the guy using induction heat- you are heating it without liquid in it. of course it's going to warp. wtf. with liquid in it the metal won't get any hotter than the boiling point of the liquid inside. simple thermodynamics. heat your product low and slow. I prefer a propane turkey fryer burner. leaks will kill it. it must be sealed. at around 180 185 you should see liquor. at and after 200 you're getting into water boiling territory. I've never used stainless condenser coil only copper but either way keep it cold! don't overheat too fast! good luck. I'll post a review after I use mine

I haven't actually ran a batch through, but the assembly looks to be very well built. (And, less than half than others wanted.) I haven't used it yet, so I thought NO score on "easy to use" would work. I didn't want to leave a great rating, because I don't know how it works. Also, did NOT want to leave a single star, but something is required. (I left 3, trying to be in the middle on that.)

Purchased for home use. Very fun projects to do with my kids. We both have had a blast distilling water, fruit, and oil's.
