VEVOR Alcohol Still 5GAL/20L, Alcohol Distiller with Thumper Keg, Distillery Kit for Alcohol with Copper Tube & Build-in Thermometer & Water Pump

My buddy who has an older, different model, is jealous. This one has seals that stay on the lids well, and it is bigger.

After several videos & many undecided months...purchased this product as a beginner distiller. Was used as a fermenter as well, incorporating a strainer sack proving to be highly effective, thus removing the hassle of straining and the need for other containers. A simple corn-mash recipe was used for initial break-in. All parts and fittings were intact/included. Instructions sort of vague, but many online videos are available on this product. No damage in shipping. This item is solid and well-built. Seals up nicely with no leaks whatsoever. Thump-keg was also deployed. Produced about 1.5 gallons of straight-up Shine' @ 83%. 😯 After proof-down & filtering...Oh Boy...🙃 Possibilities are endless with different recipes & infusions. As a beginner hobbyist, the ridiculously affordable price makes delving into distilling much less intimidating. However, research into 'cuts', Temps, & watching/understanding distilling videos is Highly Recommended. Highly pleased with this product. With a bit of instructional comprehension, 1st run quality products are entirely possible with this affordable still. For absolute best results...white-oak charred barrels for 'aging'...oh yeah. 😋

I had to heavily modify the setup and make my own condenser and thumper rig to make it efficient, but the 8 gallon boiler and flex lines are worth more than the price of the whole rig. If you can’t afford building a keg still then this is an awesome way to get into home distilling. I’ve already made a little more than 3 gallons of high quality distillate and I plan on making even more.

Straight forward assembly use Teflon tape and the seals. Will leak at condenser

For the price it’s a great still for a beginner to learn with didn’t take long to assemble and at 13gal it’s big enough for what ever you’re making and sealed up tight without any leaks. There’s room for improvement based on individual needs but out of the box it’ll get the job done.

A decent quality product with some serious deficiencies! The pot seems to be good quality. The thumper works well but is a little undersized. The worm (condenser) is about 1/4 of the size needed. Be sure to carefully tighten everything before use since leaks can be a challenge on this setup

Very happy with this. Now I can make wine or beer and not have to pay the ridiculous prices.

Fairly easy setup, could use better instructions on where the gasket goes. Love it though !! Highly recommended
