VEVORAlcohol Still 8GAL/30L, Alcohol Distiller with Thumper Keg, Distillery Kit for Alcohol with Copper Tube & Build-in Thermometer & Water Pump

Works great for what I am using it for! Easy assembly (don't count on instruction with item) if you watch a few videos. I find the thumper works best if set off to the side. Pot is light weight so I put a baking pan between the pot and the heat just so maybe it helps the life of the pot before it starts to get any holes in it. I plan to upgrade the thermometer just because it seems to stick around 190. I may find out it is fine. If so I just have an extra. If you plan on using this a lot you will eventually need to invest in more thread tape and possibly the rubber seals. All in all worth the money for a beginner. Highly recommend.

bought this for emergency water purification, and for my CPAP machine, in case of grid failure. we have emergency propane to last for a few months and a good stove. (I do have stuff to remineralize the water if we need it for consumption. I have salts, calcium, magnesium and know how much to use)the still came faster than I expected, is sturdier than I expected (especially for the price), and was packaged really well. while I don't need any of the brewing stuff, it all seems straight forward and if someone were using this to get started with such practices and was on the tightest of budgets, I can see how it could be useful.as for water, the setup took minutes and I'm pretty good to go whenever I need it. put it back in the box, and it's on the shelf with the rest of my emergency supplies.very please with the practicality and price

The media could not be loaded. Had this 13.2 gallon still come with assembly instructions, I would have given it 5 stars. Instead, it included a booklet covering contents and recipes, but no guidance on how to put everything together. This leaves buyers guessing which pieces go where, potentially adding hours to the setup time. That said, don’t let this discourage you as there are helpful videos on YouTube that walk you through the assembly process. Once you see it done, it's actually very straightforward.Overall, this is an excellent budget-friendly still. It even comes with extra seals and a water pump, which is a great bonus. I highly recommend it, especially for hobbyists getting into distilling. We are pulling 140P heads with Tails from our last run in the 3/4 filled thumper.Can't beat this price per performance.Happy Brewing!

Don’t take up much space an really easy to use.

Was exactly what I had ordered. Well built good quality

First of all who in the right mind wants to put the condenser on top of the hot pot? why not provide a longer pipe and let it sit away from the heat, your are waiting lots of water and your product because the water gets hot on top of the pot thus you need more water, not able to cool the steam thus wasting liquor (steaming away before your eye).Second one of the latch came missing. Someone should have checked before packaging.Other wise pot is big, sturdy BUT because of the missing latch, I'll be sending it back for an exchange.

My husband has wanted one of these forever and is very happy with his gift. He hasn't tried it yet but is looking forward to using it. I got the 5 gal because I want it to fit on our stove. The bigger ones are quite large. Per my research, there is a bit of a learning curve so I also bought him some how-to books. Experienced distillers said there are lots of good YouTube videos to learn from as well. Cheers!

I made my purchase back in November and gave it to myself for Christmas.I finally just opened it the end of last month and have run four badges of spirits through it. The first one was fine, a little janky but worked out good.Second run was the same.Third run seemed to have some weird coloration with my spirits. Upon inspecting all of the parts to the still.After my last run I have come to find out that there is a rust build up inside of one of the tubes that connect from the still itself to their other pieces. So not only did I waste an entire eight gallon Batch of mash All of the spirits from that run are also destroyed because of the rust flavor and color in the liquid itself. I hope that this company reaches out to me as the reading this review. Unfortunately I have recommended this to a few friends that have yet to use theirs and I hope that they will be sending them back!
