Klantbeoordelingen voor VEVOR Moonshine Still Distiller 32 L Distiller Moonshine Still 46 x 47 x 47 cm Moonshine Alcohol Distilleerder Gemaakt van Roestvrij Staal en Rood

Does not have a thumper...added a 3inch pipe and works great

Recieved it quickly. Was easy to assemble. Did a quick water distill with thumper and had no leaks. The pots were thick enough, but the big pot (8 gal) had a very visible seam going down it. Hope it holds up over time.The thumper keg didn't have a down tube, but I cut some of the water line from the worm to fashion one and it worked fine. Some simple copper fittings & pipe from the hardware store would be best.Would not recommend the 8 gallon for stovetop use.Overall. A good starter kit.

China stuff at least they're inexpensive

The item arrived within a couple of days of placing the order and was very easy to assemble although the instructions could have been a little clearer. Having used it for the first time, it has worked perfectly but I had to use the flexible tubes provided to move the condenser away from the still. I haven't yet worked out how to use the thumper or what its purpose is but that's for the future.

A great little pot still for the price. Comes with everything you need to do a small, basic moonshine run. Expect on your best day to get ~70 oz 130 proof of pure hearts from a single run on this 3 pot 5 Gal still. I recommend also purchasing a stick thermometer, hydrometer and/or refractometer to calculate ABV potential (before) and actual ABV after fermentation/run. Not neccessary, but extremely helpful if you decide to keep this hobby.PROs: The 5 Gal, non-magnetic, double bottom, Kettle Pot is small enough to easily clean in a kitchen sink, and light enough to lift when filled up (love all the handles!). Also, can double as a fermenter, though I recommend using something else (ie 6.5 Gal bucket). This'll make the transition from fermenting to distilling much easier. Additionally, it facilitates pouring your mash back and forth from bucket to pot as a way to aerate (aeration just before fermenting is CRITICAL for yeast development). Finally, it makes straining the solids out of your wash (via a 5 Gal paint strainer bag) easier when ready to distill.Plus everything can nest in the 5 Gal Kettle Pot for easy and discreet storage. What Vevor is calling a "Thumper Keg/Box" is actually just a Slobber Box. A nice addition to have, but probably unnecessary as long as you don't over-fill or -heat your kettle when distilling. HOWEVER, adding a small down pipe (appx 4") from the Thumper input port on the lid into the Thumper pot will amend it into an actual, functioning Thumber Box. See photo included in the instruction manual (very slightly updated from pdf available online) or on internet for what this design should look like. I initially used the short, copper, Condenser Pot output extention pipe (included) to accomplish this. Obviously not what it's intended for, but with a gentle screwing pressure you can get it wedged tightly into the Thumper Box Lid brass input valve (see uploaded photos). Then cut, so it sits just above the Thumper Box pot's floor. Fill appx half the Thumper Box with wash, previous tails, water, or and enjoy a practical 'second' distillation run during your first (increases ABV %). And be sure to install silicone seals (included) on both the inside and outside of each of the two brass fittings attached to the Tumper Box Lid (this is not explained in the instruction manual).CONs: The Instruction Manual, while better than receiving nothing, is almost completely useless. Buy a book, or scour through hours of marginally inaccurate/incomplete internet pages/forums/videos. Good luck!I will say, even with perfect instructions, distilling is mostly experiential so best to just try and learn as you go. It's equal parts science (physics & chemistry) and art (experience & patience). The pots are pretty thin, but sufficient for the task. As other reviewers have stated, the included silicone hoses are thin, flimsy, and short. However, they'll work fine for many runs until you improve your process and upgrade equipment.

Nice & simple to use, good quality stainless steel & accessories

Ordered the 9.6 gallon to replace my 3 gallon setup. Now I can run 6 gallons of mash in 1 run instead of 2 1/2. Shipping took 4 days (Awsome). Arrived today and I couldn't wait. Setup was easy,took around 20 min. Directions were ok, could have been better. I ran a test batch of Vinegar and water so I could clean the setup and test for leaks. Everything went great. No leaks whatsoever. I did notice the the thermometer might lean to the cool side about 5 degrees. Other than that. The setup is well made. No leaks and seems to be quality for the price.

Very easy set up and easy to modify if you choose to. Very durable so far!

I have made several runs and this kit works well for beginners. I haven't used the slobber pot yet because I don't believe it is needed as long as you can control the heat.

Look at what you're paying for what you get. This is not a high end, expensive materials item. But then you are not paying that sort of price. You get exactly what it says and for the money...it works. The only thing I'd add is if you don't extend the position of the cooling pot, make sure to place some heat insulation under it. You also need a very controllable and reliable heat source. I bet many of those complaining are not using one.People have complained about seals etc but I've had no issues. And were I to - flour and water fixes it. The instructions even tell you that.My only regret is not buying the bigger version. And a minor complaint - it won't quite hold 3 gallons. All in all an excellent buy and at least when starting out, much cheaper than the higher end alternatives.
