Customer Reviews for VEVOR Alcohol Still, 13.2Gal / 50L Stainless Steel Water Alcohol Distiller Copper Tube Home Brewing Kit Build-in Thermometer for DIY Whisky Wine Brandy, Silver

All parts function well and is versatile. It is rather a pain to use for small volumes though. For a large distillation product it is hard to beat.

I love this Distiller! It's compact, easy to use, and it works great. I love the stainless steal, and it all fits right back in the box when you are done. I would recommend this for anyone who would like to make their own brew.

The 3 gallon still holds 2 gallons of liquid, leaving a 4" headspace. The water lines are pretty short, so I ordered 25 feet of 3/8" ID silicone tubing to reach my sink from the stove (about 10 feet for each line). The unit barely fits under the microwave oven above my stove, if I orient it just so. There are no instructions for using the thumper. Apparenty it's best to have a tube from the inlet to the bottom of the pan, so I bought a 3/8 HBX x 1/4F brass adapter, and attached about 4" of the 3/8" ID silicone tubing. The video on Amazon provided by the manufacturer mistakenly shows silicone seals placed on the inside of the boiler lid ("onion top"), but they should be on the outside. The hot vinegar run discolored the inside of the brass connectors, and created a reddish residue that should be cleaned off. The unit needs to be partially disassembled to do this. There was also metallic residue on the thermometer threads and nut. The instructions are in broken English, but not too weird. The rye whiskey recipe calls for a gram of ammonium fluoride(!), but they mean ammonium chloride. The bottom of the boiler isn't quite flat, so the unit rocks back and forth on my glass stovetop unless I wedge a couple forks under it. Overall it is reasonably well made, for the price.

Awsome lil rig to work with produces well seals could be better but can’t beat the price !! I will buy more from this company for sure great packing and shipping was fast quality was awesome!!

Love this product for small runs. Wish it had a false bottom and more copper, but works great for the price!

This is great to learn on or if you just want to make a quart for yourself. I set this up on a induction cooktop so there is no flame and it will still 5 gallons of wash in a few hours, with a product that comes out to 140 to 120 proof. The bubbler or thumper is not its a slomber keg but there are videos on YouTube that show you how to turn it into a thumper with the parts that came with it. The only complaint I have at the moment is I can't find replacement parts on the Vevor website but I am sure you can find replacement gaskets at you local hardware store.

It works. It’s flimsy and the metal hoses will eventually break but, it’s remarkably good at distilling alcohol.

Nice product

The only thing it is missing is some type of rack with a screen so thst yoy csn place plant material inside without it sitting in the water if you want to make essential oils. The pipes could also be longer so you can keep the final product as far away from the heat source as possible and the rubber gasket doesn't fit all that well around the lid and creats problems when yoy try to close it. Yoy may want to upgrade it for something better and make sure you have a very strong fan in a window with a second fan directing air flow too it, just incase yoy use the gasket that comes with it.

The condenser and. thumper are to small if you upgraded these two things it works great.
