5 Gallon Moonshine Whiskey E-85 Ethanol Still 2" Stainless Reflux Column Tower

Perfect for all distillers'

This still is PERFECT! I have been distilling for about a year now, and this is my second still. My first still is a 3 pot stainless from Amazon, and was a gift. I did my research (reading, YouTube, Moonshiner TV shows), and off I went. It worked well; I made Gin and Rum. I noticed the seals weren't that great and had to use a paste, and that worked, but was too much effort. I then started to look for a new still. I researched a 3 pot copper still, and even ordered one. With COVID, it was going to take 8 weeks. after 15 weeks, and poor responses from the vendor, I requested a refund. this brought me back to my research. While doing the research, I found I no longer wanted a traditional 3 pot copper still, as I realized how delicate they are. Things work for a reason I guess. That brought me here. I purchased the 5 gallon reflux still, and then realized the mistake I made. And then thought it wasn't a mistake, and the explanation is coming I swear.. I was so frustrated with my still that never came, I didn't realize it was a reflux, and thought it was just a column still. So, the liquor I have been making would not work with the reflux, but the liquor I WANT to make does need it. So, I quickly ordered the pot still arm, and now own both. My comments are for the quality of the build, the pot, and the pot still arm. I haven't tried the reflux one yet, it is next in line after my Tequila mash that is fermenting as I type this. The steel is super heavy duty compared to the China made stills! The connections and gaskets are air tight, and no more need for any sort of paste! The process was more efficient with less points of failure due to one single device versus 3 pots, and all their connections in between! The Thermometer is heavy duty! Great consistent barbs for hose connections! Makes FANTASTIC product (160 proof Whiskey, and 155 proof Rye...so far Tequila on deck)! Highly recommended! Great Price! Get one of these and get going, it wont disappoint!!!

Great still!

The still arrived promptly and was just as described. I ran it with the vinegar solution as recommended for cleaning and then a sacrificial run as well. After that I charged it and was really impressed with the output. The build quality looks great although I admit this is my first one. However, I would happily purchase another one!
