Customer Reviews for 8Gal Home Use Moonshine Still Brewing Stainless Steel Water Wine Alcohol Double Keg

Still arrived, seems to have all the appropriate fittings and doo dads. Everything was in one, single walled cardboard box. All the small items were inside the still pot so no damage to them but the pot itself took some dings. Nothing broken but there are 1 or 2 I may have to try and hammer back out.

My son (age 25) is very interested in distillation and spirits in general, so I bought this as a Dad n Lad adventure kit. We had some (party leftover) bottles of hard cider that we were about to toss out, but decided to run them through the still on its maiden run. We couldn't have been happier with the results! The initial part of the run (at about 185 degrees) was clear, and the latter part (past 192 degrees) was a rich yellow. I needed to supply a longer coolant hose to reach the sink, but it was a simple Home Depot purchase (3/8" ID x 1/2" OD vinyl tubing) I warmed the still up slowly on our gas stove, and after about an hour, it began its "run". It took another hour to finish, and it was a really fun experience!

Got this as a wedding present for a friend and he's been putting it to great work!No quality complaints or anything and some very good product has come out of it.

Although some reviewers stated that it does not work on induction tops.Although a magnet does not hold to this thick and solid stainless steel material but it worked and heated very well on my Nuwave Precision Induction Desktop. I am glad I do not need to purchase an induction heat converter plate.

Wish the section that holds the plant material was bigger but I'm loving the hydrosols we've done so far. Its functional, useful and it's making me dream of owning a bigger still.

For a beginner still it works great.

A set up ordered to allow multiple uses, limited only by the imigination, well made, certainly capable of being used for traveling to have pure water.

It works great but the seal for the thumping keg is too small

Tried it out using a hotplate, and it worked. It wasn't that hard holding the temp I needed to be at and it worked flawlessly.Only reason I gave it 4 stars is I wish they had included the adaptor to link the evaporator directly to the copper tube like they show on the pictures. I tried to find one, but it's got weird threads on the 1/2" taper side, 3/8" tapered worked just fine.

Works as stated just took some time to get used to and adjustments
