Do you fancy yourself a homebrewing aficionado who is ready to move on to distilling homemade spirits? Are you maybe more concerned with the process of distillation for ethanol purposes? It is therefore important to select the right Moonshine still in order to get the desired proof. This guide is customized to assist you in finding your way through the choices starting with pot stills suitable for small-scale distillation to reflux stills that are appropriate for accurate distillation.
A moonshine still is a device used to distill alcohol, typically homemade, often associated with illicit production. It separates alcohol from a fermented mixture through heating and condensation, allowing for the production of high-proof spirits like moonshine, whiskey, or vodka.
Pot stills are conventional in structure and are perfect for distilling spirits, and they are comparatively easy to use as well. They work on the batch distillation where the mash is heated in a pot and vapors are collected and recondensed.
These advanced stills are used at higher purity and efficiency. They include a column where vapors are cooled and return to the boiling point, thus separating alcohol from other compounds due to the differences in boiling points.
Like reflux stills, fractionating stills provide better purity through multiple fractional distillations. They may also possess extra columns or packing materials to enhance the surface area for enhanced separation.
A hybrid still is a combination of pot and reflux stills; thus, it provides both flavor and purity regulation. They are preferred by those distillers who want to find a compromise between the productivity and the quality of the spirits.
Other innovations include the electric moonshine still which is easier to control for temperature and heating. They are easy to use in an indoor environment and are accurate.
The perfect moonshine still complements your homebrewing process. Assess these critical factors to identify a still that meets your desired quality and performance.
It is important to decide what type of still is most suitable. For instance, pot stills are suitable for producing rich-bodied spirits such as whiskey and rum. Reflux stills on the other hand are more suitable for making high purity alcohol such as vodka. A reflux still can produce up to 95% alcohol content because the liquid alcohol evaporates and then condenses several times.
The choice of material is important in safety and in the flavor of the still’s end product. Copper stills are preferred in craft distilling since they strip the sulfur compounds, improving the quality of the distillate. For example, a 5-gallon copper still will cost approximately 300 US dollars. Stainless steel stills used in brewing are cheaper and more durable and a still of the same size is about $150.
The size should be considered depending on the production capacity of the business. For the hobbyist, a 1-gallon still is appropriate, and each run yields approximately 3-4 quarts of spirits. For a more serious production, a 10-gallon still can produce 25 to 30 quarts at a go. Make sure you are capable of accommodating the increased volumes and have proper tools to do so.
The condenser coil is a critical component that affects the cooling of the alcohol vapor to arrive at the final product. For instance, a copper coil measuring 10 feet is more effective than a short copper coil in the distillation process, hence the production of better spirits.
Yeast’s varieties impact on the taste of your spirits and the percentage of alcohol in the drink. Check the compatibility of your still with the yeast fermentation process that you intend to carry out. For instance, a still built for grain-based mashes will be effective when used with yeast that creates deep flavors, appropriate for whiskey or rum.
Sick and tired of low yields and inferior spirits? Worry not! The VEVOR 8 Gal Alcohol Water Distiller is designed to provide high quality distillation every time. It is perfect for those who are very serious about their hobbies, as it makes it easy and improves the outcome.
This still has a fermentation chamber of 8 gallons, ideal for family occasions. Boiler: 13. 8" x 13. 8" (35 x 35 cm), condenser: 7. 9" x 4. 3" (20 x 11 cm), thumper keg: 7” x 4” (18 x 10 cm) for up to 30 Liter fermentation. Constructed from food safe materials including silicone, stainless steel and copper.
The copper coil is an open cooling system which has a large area of contact with the coolant and the distillation temperature is reduced due to better thermal conductivity. A circulating water pump saves the cooling water and a rubber pad below the condenser helps in faster cooling.
Featuring a real-time thermometer on the lid showing both Celsius and Fahrenheit, it makes it easy to check the temperature. The thumper keg allows for the addition of spices to the alcohol of your choice for the desired taste.
The flexible food-grade silicone tubes provide excellent flexibility and airtight sealing. Four clips and silicone seals offer an airtight seal and a one-way valve helps with fermentation.
This still can make Whiskey, Wine, Brandy, Rum, Tequila, Vodka, Ethanol and Essential Oils. It supports different methods of heating such as the use of gas stoves, firewood and electric ceramic heaters.

This 5-gallon alcohol stillis constructed with food-grade silicone, stainless steel, and copper. It has a fast cooling with the copper coil, the giant easy-to-read thermometer, the non-slip silicone lid, and it can be used for whiskey, wine, vodka, etc.
Review: Just did my first water distill and everything worked fine. Seems like a great piece of equipment. It comes with the pump, everything you could imagine to make. Or distill water or any other liquid you could imagine Hands down great machine. Jay
This 8-gallon alcohol still has the rapid cooling function, clear thermometer, and a safe silicone gasket. It is constructed from food-grade stainless steel; thus, it is suitable for preparing whiskey, wine, vodka, and other drinks with different heating sources. Ideal for family gatherings.
Review: I am impressed with this unit. We bought it for our emergency stash, so we can distill saltwater if necessary. It is well made and designed. Henry Walford
An efficient cooling system such as the open cooling method with a copper coil also enhances the fast dissipation of heat and a low distillation temperature. This results in a better controlled distillation process and results in a much purer and hence much better quality distillate.
Yes it is true that moonshine stills are multipurpose. It can be used to filter water, prepare oils and the ethanol used in fuel production. Due to this flexibility, they can be used in other processes apart from alcohol production.
In this case, it is recommended that you operate your still in a well-ventilated area to reduce the risk of accumulation of flammable vapors. There is a fire extinguisher nearby and all connections should be properly fixed so that there is no leakage. Check the temperature often and do not leave the still alone while it is operating.
Purchasing a still therefore provides a universe of inventive and fulfilling home distillation. So, choosing the right still for your purpose and learning the fundamentals of fermentation and distillation will put you on the right track to making great spirits. Be knowledgeable, have fun, and be safe while homebrewing your masterpieces.
