Customer Reviews for VEVOR Moonshine Still Distiller 3Gal 12L Stainless Steel Water Distiller Copper Tube with Circulating Pump Home Brewing Kit Build-in Thermometer for DIY Whisky Wine Brandy Spirits

I got the still a little earlier than expected.On opening the box I found it to be a tad flimsy, all the parts that were itemised were there.I did a test run and found the still to eventually produce a good product so I will give high marks for that.A few points on the downside though which are mostly niggles as opposed to critical.1. The cooler takes some adjusting to get the flow rate to be consistent. You have to keep an eye on the levels of water as it has a tendency to either overflow or underflow. The valves are not really that well engineered and take some time to adjust to the correct flow..2. The thermostat almost immediately filled with condensation so the guage was not really that well visible. It doe not clear up. It could do with being in the condensate outlet as the readings you do get are from the kettle body which are less than accurate for the conded material temps.3. The gin/botanicals basket is unusable really because of the design. It certainly could do with a rethink. If you were to put botanicals in it the condensate would not perculate through them. The inlet of the chamber is at lid level as opposed to being fed through a pipe into the spirit the botanicals would be immersed ion The condensate flows over the top instead of running through the fluid creating head and percolation then the condensate leaving through the exit and into the worm. Useless to say the least.All in all not a bad bit of kit for the price but could do with some very inexpensive modifications to improve the overall machine.Good for beginners with a bit of knowledge though and worth a try if you want to get into distillates.

LIKED...arrived on time, well packed, no dents or damage whatsoever, all the bits there, working within an hour.DISLIKED...drain for condenser water could do with being larger...but this is a minor gripe...Overall...works very well, and good value—-am pleased, and recommend item and seller.

For the price, the quality is more than decent, it does what it should, i had no problems. I don't know how it will hold up in time but so far everything looks good.

As you can see the thermometer gets wet inside

Everything arrived as stated in description. Excellent service.

Exceptional piece of equipment

Arrived earlier than expected due to the situation the world is going through, opened the package no damage clear instructions when decanting the product . Followed instructions clean components tested for seal test additional ptfe tape around threads water and white vinegar test brought up temperature to 100 degrees C boiling point gradual . No leaks or problems good heavy base , wall thickness substantial. Set up for the thumper and condenser on the top of the pot still, not ideal. Set up in line thumper/ slobber keg and condenser in line but slightly higher. Performance was as stated my use was on a gas hob, the pot is an excellent fermenter holds the heat for a very long time . Still experimenting better quality from other reviews on similar products I have read happy up to now with my purchase . Only time will tell.U

Exelent product,best buy for along time. SUPER . I use it all the time. Only my wife don’t love it so Michelin as I

I'm very happy with my purchase but my boiler broke. Could I please order a new boiler and not the whole set? Thank you

Delivery was really bad. Delivered by UPS took 5 days instead of the 2 days amazon quoted. UPS site said will be delivered on Tuesday then on Tuesday said it would be delivered Wednesday. Lo and behold a bit of complaining to UPS and bad review on TrustPilot and it turns up on Tuesday, It pays to be vocal.Now for the important bit the still.It claims to have a thumper however in a thumper the steam should enter under the contents and on this thumper it just enters through the lid and is not directed to the bottom of the thumper (should be a pipe taking the steam down to the bottom). a quick trip to the local hardware shop fixed this with a compression fitting and 3.5 inches of 10mm pipe. now the steam can permeate through the mash or botanicals in the thumper. As it was the steam would have entered through the lid , travelled across the top of the contents and go straight out of the other side of the lid. Not what a thumper is designed for.Lids seem a little flimsy but seem to do their job. The actual pot is well made and sturdy. Does employ silicon seals so we'll see how they last, only done the white vinegar run so far.
