5 Gallon Moonshine Still with 2" Stainless Whiskey Column and Cooling Kit

Form and function!

The still itself is beautiful to look at. Reader beware that I am JUST getting into the art of distilling, and previously was using a "prison yard" DIY still with an old pressure cooker and bucket condenser that lost more than half of the product to vapor loss. So anything is a major step up for me. But this still has worked splendidly after two runs. I haven't done specific measurements to try and record efficiency, but I can say that the shotgun condenser works great, and the supplied hoses in this particular package saved me a trip to the hardware store. The male pipe fitting on the ends of each hose can go straight into a kitchen sink, although I did have to buy a female adapter to hook it up to my garden hose. The kettle heats up quite nicely over a propane flame. Since the bottom of the kettle is concave, it's not practical to heat it on a smooth flat surface. I eventually will get a single burner unit with high BTU output, but my little Coleman camping stove heated up the distillate within about 45 minutes (probably less). At this point, I'm an amateur and a hobbyist, but the 5 gallon kettle is perfect for me right now. I highly recommend the product!

Excellent

Craftsmanship is second to none
