Customer Reviews for VEVOR Alcohol Still, 5 Gal / 19 L Stainless Steel Water Alcohol Distiller with Copper Coil, Home Brewing Refining Fermentation Kit with Thermometer, for Wine Whisky Brandy, Silver

Upgraded. Now the device is much more functional. The false bottom was placed lower on the legs. The disadvantage of the false bottom is large holes. When brewing beer, it does not work as a filter. The holes should be 1-2 mm.

I use it to distilll water... I decided to buy this as a smaller repalcemebnt of my bigger 8 gallon one which takes over so much of my stove range real estate. Moreover , the lid should be with more than 4 latches to hold it down.. because of great circumference the lid edge is not thick enough to keep the pail sealed with steam in it that keep escaping through the edge .. I figure tha tthe smaller 5 gallon wont have same issue as the lid is smaller and the stainless steel lid is inversely more rigid.. Morever, it takes longer to get the 8 gal one to get steam than 5 gallon but this will mean more frequent reflling for the latter while the larger 8 gallon allows you to forget it for much longer between refillings. I still have to use 4 mini vise pliers to pinch the edges between the four latches all around to keep the steam in instead of hissing through the edge which is not energy efficient. As for water distilling, you must not allow any steam to escape throughout the system from pail to the receiving pail.. if steam escape , this mean wasted energy and longer to produce distilled water. I live in a state where well water is everywhere. I got tired of seeing white chalk film at bottom of my pots and pans.. Wtih distilled water, you dont see any anymore.. I use it for making coffee, rice, etc. it taste better without the well water chalk ./ The brass tubes are prone to leaking steam though.. I wrap special tape over the fittings and the ends of the pipes where you use nuts and seal washers.. they leak steam The steam distiller needs to be redesigned better to keep steam in. and they should come up with replacement seals and nuts and brass tubes .... it is hard to make rep;lacement brass tubes by bending it in circles and bend elbows to fit.. I had to improvise with better fittings and n uts and seals myself by looking for them in the interent. The steam distillers are desgined poorly. I need distilled water badly that I am forced to buy what I can find.. and

The quality looks good especially for the price except the bottom was a little bowed out and it looks like it is haunted as soon as the heat is applied. (see the video), it looks like it has that old time rock and roll spirit. I still don't know if I want to return it or turn it upside down and give it a whack with a rubber hammer. I would like to make some essential oils instead of waiting on returns and fooling with all that stuff.

Jeg er ikke fornøyd med at jeg betalte for levering ved mottakelse, og det er mindre problemer – målebegeret er ødelagt, og jeg finner ingen offentlig tilgjengelig informasjon om hva som kan lages med denne enheten.

Buna ziua! Problema mea in lagatura cu produsul livrat este ca nu era in pachet pompa de racire. Fara pompa nu se poate utiliza produsul. Care ar fi splutia? Multumesc anticipat! You ar shipping the product without the pomp!

L'ho comprato perché nella descrizione era indicato che si poteva utilizzare per estrarre olii essenziali. Il manuale (di pessima qualità, fotocopiato e con fotografie poco visibili) non accenna per niente a come fare per estrarre oli essenziali e il servizio alla clientela che ho contattato mi ha risposto che non sapevamo e di cercare informazioni in internet... Ho dovuto comprare un paio di accessori aggiuntivi per poter adattare il distillatore al mio proposito peró infine ho ottenuto il mio primo olio essenziale!

YES IT WORKS ON INDUCTION!! I have used it many times on induction NO PROBLEM!! It boils water VERY RAPID. The photo shows a rolling boil of my 30L kettle on my induction cooker :) The kettle is great, the lid is great, the condenser is terrible. I am upgrading the condenser to a 1" x 36" Leibig type condenser, with a 2" x 42" CVVM still. I have the 30L model which I am upgrading with an internal electric (2200W) heating element. I will now also order the 12L model which I will use on INDUCTION for small batches of distilling :)

The fact that it's got such an anemic little condensing coil for for such a large still. In the picture I included, you can see the coil that comes with this 50L still sitting inside the coil for a ~25L still. It's so comically small that I dare not use it the way it is. I don't care if it voids my warranty or not but I plan on fixing this issue before I run any liquor through it. I'd rather not lose any money if I can help it.

Schnell gesendet, super gepakt.

Pretty good for a cheap still. However, I wouldn't use it on a flat top stove. You'd have to do something like gas and makes it more likely to burn. Also, it doesn't have a removable plate, so again you're more likely to burn my batch. Just keep an eye on it constantly and it'll do fine.
