Customer Reviews for Moonshine Still Water Alcohol Distiller 5Gal w/Thumper Keg & 8W Water Pump

In the product specification, ( Included Components ) called it a thumper keg, it is a Slobber Box. there should be a copper tube for the input side to make it a thumper keg

Super easy to put together and even easier to use. I just upgraded from. 2.5 gallon copper onion top. I only wish I’d bought a larger size.

Great little still. I ordered this and was slightly bent to where the lid wouldn't seal perfectly but built very well. I emailed them for a new replacement and wow it was delivered fast. Fast response. The box was slightly damaged so I'm guessing it happened during shipping. I was rather surprised how they handled the issue. Great customer service. Really happy that I ordered from them. For the price it's well worth it for the pot alone. I modify these anyways and make a larger worm pot but the parts from the worm pot condenser come apart so I can switch it out . Liquor comes out better with a 4 or five gallon worm with 20ft of copper instead of 2 feet. It works great left alone but you can always make it better. Lol

Only complaint is the water pump is pretty poorly made and turns itself off and on. I had a different one so I'll just use that. Thumper is also missing a piece of tubing, I knew that from other reviews. Easy enough to obtain at a home improvement store.

Works to both ferment and then later distill. This is a great starter kit. After your first batch you'll do good to purchase tools to measure sugar and alcohol content.I never experienced any problems with leaky seals once I stopped being lazy and used a wrench. I've made about 6 batches so far, friends are impressed and love it. Pump is a little strong but if you're doing this outside then it's not a big deal. After 1 or two batches I haven't used the thumper again, not really a good size for a thumper. Thermometer might be a bit off, but it's consistent which is the most important thing.What I didn't realize before I bought this was how long it takes! If you're just using bread yeast it might take 3 weeks to ferment and then 6 hours to distill, but getting 8 quarts out each run (4 of which are good enough quality to drink, the other 4 you put in the next batch) makes it worth it. I'll get the first quart at 140+ proof and stop around the 8th quart which is usually down to 40 proof.Very happy with my purchase, haven't bought liquor from the store since. The sky's the limit with this and if you're intrigued by the idea (or want to save money) this could do it for you. Highly recommend for a tinker or foodie. I've been having fun with infusions such as peach, charred oak, and ginger and fermented products from my house such as tomatoes, prickly pear, apples, potatoes.

Easy to use and very efficient. Only a few slight modifications with washers to seal it up.

To start off the machine does work. There are a few things you can do yourself differently to make the still be more effective. But if you set it up with patients and follow instructions it will work right out the box. My first time was a successful. I made ok stuff.

Awesome set up! Everything i expected! Would buy another if needed! Delivery could have been a little quicker! Looking forward to purchasing more item in the future!

Me agrado que yego a tiempo y llego completo au que solo tengo 2 dia no los es usado

I haven’t tried it yet but I always wished I had known a moonshiner and learned how to distill shine myself. I guess I’m thrilled to have a small still and that’s probably what prompted me to give it a 5 ⭐️ rating.
