Customer Reviews for VEVOR Alcohol Still 70L, Distillery Kit Alcohol Distiller, for Alcohol with 304 Stainless Steel Tube & Circulating Pump & Build-in Thermometer & Exhaust Port for DIY Whisky Wine Brandy, Silver (70L)

I had the 30 litre still before this 70 litre one, so knew what to expect. It's basically the same, but with a bigger container. It's nice to have all new bits as after 2 1/2 years some of the tap connectors were getting worn and I was looking for spares. I used a 100 litre barrel of water to feed the pump on the 30 litre still. I needed to up this to 200 litre as it will get hot before the process is finished. Doing my first trial run I was using pans of cold water to keep the condenser cool towards the end. I'll find out if 200 litre is enough on the next batch, The instruction manual lists a few projects. I'm just distilling alcohol from excess wine material. I don't know how it does on those other jobs. If I had to suggest an improvement, the cooling water (hot) pipe goes soft when hot and reduces flow. A spring cil around the pipe of angle piece might support it better, (or else a loop of wire hanging from the ceiling) but these things are manageable. If you use big barrels of water like me, you will need moretubing than in the box, but it's easy enough to buy.

I bought it with a friend to distill palinka (a traditional hungarian fruit liquor). The machine works great. Can be heated on gas stove, also on open fire in an oil heat exchanger bath (we tried both). Easy setup, easy cleaning, great filler in the rectification tower. We made 80 % alcohol palinka from 10 % alcohol fermented base, with the rate around 0,5 liters/h once the distillation stated, the heat up was 1 h for 40 liters of fruit base. Thermometer is accurate, alcoholometer is good as well. We set up a cooling loop in a large bucket with the pump, changing the water to fresh cold one once per hour. Flavor is great. We were very satisfied with it.

This setup works well.

Vevor had this arrive to my door in very good time. It was delivered on a Sunday so the free shipping was super expedient. Despite being age 60, I have never work with this kind of equipment before. And despite that, i was able to fully assemble it in perhaps 20 minutes. It was really that easy. Once assembled, i filled it with 2 gallons water and 2 gallons of white vinegar. I allowed about 90 minutes before reaching a boil and let it sit in Self-Cleaning mode for an additional 90 minutes. I will likely repeat that self-cleaning process 2 more time with it's current contents. First time running used about 1 gallon. After the 2nd time self-cleaning i will connect the cooling system for the 3rd time running self-clean. The temperature gauge showed a reading of 100' C for the entire 90 minutes i allowed vapor to escape. When the temperature gauge was fully tightened it was 90' to far, but i had no problem backing it off 1/4 turn. The trickiest part of it all was figuring out main gasket placement. To install it must be Step 1 with Main Lid. Lay the lid down upside down, perhaps on a pillow. Then take the large Hoop Gasket and begin pressing it into the perimeter ring( the 3/4 " x 3/8 " deep x 19") that is on the lid.

I ordered this device and when it arrived, it was damaged in transit. The pot and lid were dented and dented and the lid would didn't stay closed. Severe damage. I complained and asked for a new pot and lid, because the other parts were intact. Vevor delivered a completely new device quickly. Professional operation and customer service! Vevor gets a medal for this! Hallelujah
