Customer Reviews for Vevor Moonshine Still Distillery Kit 9.6Gal Whiskey Distilling Kit w/ Water Pump

The quality looks good especially for the price except the bottom was a little bowed out and it looks like it is haunted as soon as the heat is applied. (see the video), it looks like it has that old time rock and roll spirit. I still don't know if I want to return it or turn it upside down and give it a whack with a rubber hammer. I would like to make some essential oils instead of waiting on returns and fooling with all that stuff.

Worked well. There was a few spots of grease left on the parts, but it was easily cleaned with soap and a sponge. I didn't notice any scent during the 3 cleaning runs that I ran. Easy to clean and decent quality for all of the parts

Product arrived in good shape. Well packaged. I had my doubts about the seals. After the first run with water, my doubts were proven correct. The still pot seal was ok, but the thumper leaked. Silicone made in China makes me nervous. God only knows what's in that.I peeled off the seals and used canned biscuits! It works like edible caulk. Seals perfectly . Ran another pot of water to test the biscuit theory. Great results.My first true run produced more than I expected. Overall, I'm happy that I got this rig. Good introduction into distilling.

Ottimo distillatore per produrre grappa fatta in casa

Great quality and price! I have been using it every other day, for about a month, without a problem. No leaks, and high-quality steel. This is the kind of quality that will last a lifetime.JA

Works exactly how it should. Simple set up. Easy care.

Great product, well built and easy to understand. Definitely recommend.

Making essential oils and it is perfect.

Straightforward assembly no real leaks that were not easily fixable seems to have included what was promisedHave only performed a vinegar / water cleansing run at this pointNeed to be careful how to balance the water flow through the coil pot to keep the levels correct but not a difficult problem to fix however you have to be careful to keep the input and output valves opened at the correct levels to keep the water levels consistent or you'll get overflows

This is the best constructed product I've bought. It's got a heavier, though it should be more, base for heat retention and fantastic added features incuding: include condenser circulation pump, quality brass fittings everywhere and stellar stainless dogs and handles. My impressions after running a vinegar distill to clean everything out is as follows:#1 there is absolutely no need for handles anywhere. Remove still pot handles and still lid handle. Anyone can use the lid dogs as anchor points if the still pot is rocking an rollin.#2 Lid Geometry.Lid dogs should be at 45, 135, 225, and 315 degreesLid temp gauge should be ~2/3*lid_diameter @ 270 degreesCondenser out should be ~2/3*lid_diameter @ 0 degrees#Condenser PotCentered at lid:-----Left-handed cooling:----------Valved input and output should be ~ 160 degrees----------Condenser Product Output spigot should be ~ 200 degrees-----Right-handed cooling---------Valved input and output should be ~ 30 degrees----------Condenser Product Output spigot should be ~ 200 degreesPipe observations:*Still lid output pipe should fit condenser input or gin basket input** This means that gin basket output pipe must fit condenser input** There is no need for the 90 degree copper bend pipe that is supposed to go from still_lid_out to gin basket in. Just include two pipes that will fit still-to-condenser and still-ginBasket-condenser.*Get rid of the short copper pipe and tube from the condenser out. Put it a 12-18 inch surgical tube like the tubes for the circulation pump but that fit the condenser output. It's much more convenient.Finally, no one needs the fermentation valve if they're buying this product. Save yourselves some money. And if you're going to make it a kit, meaning I had to assemble mine, make sure there are gaskets for above and below connections as well as a roll of teflon tape. That'll be much more useful that the extraneous copper pipes and fermentation valve.
