Customer Reviews for VEVOR Moonshine Still 8 Gal Water Alcohol Distiller Brewing Kit Stainless Steel

Delivered as promised, easy to assemble and use.

Look at what you're paying for what you get. This is not a high end, expensive materials item. But then you are not paying that sort of price. You get exactly what it says and for the money...it works. The only thing I'd add is if you don't extend the position of the cooling pot, make sure to place some heat insulation under it. You also need a very controllable and reliable heat source. I bet many of those complaining are not using one.People have complained about seals etc but I've had no issues. And were I to - flour and water fixes it. The instructions even tell you that.My only regret is not buying the bigger version. And a minor complaint - it won't quite hold 3 gallons. All in all an excellent buy and at least when starting out, much cheaper than the higher end alternatives.

Have not used it yet for alcohol distilling bur ran a cleaning cycle. Worked great

Item is good quality. Have been making distilled water to improve our well water. I would buy again.

Love it

This is my 2nd still. I had to replace a columnar still given to me as a gift 10 years ago after breaking some of the fittings and not finding a simple replacement.I was apprehensive of this and other similarly priced setups based on the reviews both on Amazon and Youtube.However, I set my expectations that this was not going to be the greatest setup but could do the job necessary.And after that, I am rather pleased with the initial quality and experience with the system.The 3gallon system was perfect for stovetop setup in my kitchen. I decided instead of stacking, I would lay out the 3 vessels across my stove and countertop. The only issue with this setup was that the condenser kettle was flush to the counter and could not trip to a collection vessel. I remedied this by placing on a small 2gallon bucket. The flex pipe was just long enough to work with this.That being said, there are 3 issues you should be aware of, each can be remedied with quick trip to home depot.1. The "thumper keg" provided is really no more than a slobber box. There is no provided tube from the kettle exhaust to the thumper solution. You can fix this with a 3/8" female copper fitting and about 3" of copper tubing . (I think it was more like 2.75" as I had to trim for a more proper fit.2. Thumper Keg seal didn't fit quite correctly. replaced this with large silicon o-ring3. All of the fittings need to be secured with teflon tape to avoid air leakage.I have 2 other concerns to further investigate in subsequent runs.1. Unsure of the thermometer accuracy in the kettle. Read 195F but the resultant solution tasted like pure H2O.2. Need a secondary thermometer in the thumper to measure steam/solution temp going into the condenser.I hope this helps future customers make a decision

I like that it is very mobile and versatile. A person if decided to get this may want to think about getting longer cooling hoses for it the lenth that comes with it are not very long.

For a beginner it may be a little hard to figure out with limited instructions. For a Hillbilly like myself, not so hard.

It's what I ordered. Everything is good. Shipping came a few days early which was nice. Overall good experience. JC
