Vevor 12,3l Waterdestilleerder Waterdestilleerapparaat Roestvrij Water Distiller

Delivery was really bad. Delivered by UPS took 5 days instead of the 2 days amazon quoted. UPS site said will be delivered on Tuesday then on Tuesday said it would be delivered Wednesday. Lo and behold a bit of complaining to UPS and bad review on TrustPilot and it turns up on Tuesday, It pays to be vocal.Now for the important bit the still.It claims to have a thumper however in a thumper the steam should enter under the contents and on this thumper it just enters through the lid and is not directed to the bottom of the thumper (should be a pipe taking the steam down to the bottom). a quick trip to the local hardware shop fixed this with a compression fitting and 3.5 inches of 10mm pipe. now the steam can permeate through the mash or botanicals in the thumper. As it was the steam would have entered through the lid , travelled across the top of the contents and go straight out of the other side of the lid. Not what a thumper is designed for.Lids seem a little flimsy but seem to do their job. The actual pot is well made and sturdy. Does employ silicon seals so we'll see how they last, only done the white vinegar run so far.

It works well, but I didn't realise it needs monitoring to get the input and output of the water to balance. I bought extra piping to reach to my water supply and have pipes stretching across the kitchen which is a bit of a trip hazard. I am a bit nervous of it as I haven't used it many times. There is no indicater to tell you if the boiler is running dry. I use it for distilling water and have a wood burning stove so it doesn't need electric other than for the pump. My last distiller was all electric and expensive to run, although not so labour intensive.

Now 18 months old with about 25 runs. I ferment with Turbo 8 yeast plus 8kg sugar at 25c to give 23L of mash. Then at least 2 runs with Bots in Thumper on final. I have incorporated a thermometer where the output meets the worm. I get approx. 4L gin @ 82% = 8L final yield

Exceptional piece of equipment

That pipes is big problem, and need change gasket. For starters it's good. But now im looking for new distiller.

The item arrived within a couple of days of placing the order and was very easy to assemble although the instructions could have been a little clearer. Having used it for the first time, it has worked perfectly but I had to use the flexible tubes provided to move the condenser away from the still. I haven't yet worked out how to use the thumper or what its purpose is but that's for the future.

Very easy set up and easy to modify if you choose to. Very durable so far!

Does what I need it to do. Works even better without the thumper! Great item for homemade beverages!
