Good still
The media could not be loaded. Well I gotta say this is a mighty fine still.A couple complaints/things for the company/buyer beware:The drain valve setup (pictured) sucks but worksThe teflon tape they include is trash. Throw it right in the garage and go buy some quality stuff.The drain value on the slobber box (pictured) is not stainless and started to rust after my vinegar run. I wire brushed off the rust and cleaned it I will look to get a all brass or all copper or all stainless soon.Other than those three great beginner still!I'm using a 1300w hotplate and it took about 1.5 hours to start running at full blast with 5 gallons of liquid.

All 5 star except
I like the product, but the first one I had, I thought it was a dent, but through further investigation, it was the poor welding job of bottom thats causing the leak, its an incomplete weld. Im gonna go have someone weld it to seal it from leaking. Ive got the product replaced, and still have the gap for leaking. The seller is quick, and easy to deal with, i appreciate. But so seller knows as well, there is weld defect at the bottom of the pot. It can be fixed before sending to buyers. But all in all, other than the weld defect, its a very good product. 5 star everywhere, except the craftsmanship. Its an amateurish mistake by the welder. Not saying im a pro at welding, but anyways, seller is professional seller.

No customer service
I was so proud of this unit, works well. But when I asked one question I have yet to receive a response. Customer service means a lot to me. You will not find it here. 3 stars

Excellent results
There are so many things you can make with one of these. It's not just for spirits, you can distill water or even essential oils. It's a thing of beauty on it's own, but if you're making alcohol, check with local regulations.

Great little hobby
I’m not sure that there is a better Christmas gift out there for my husband. Though not an alcoholic, he does enjoy some drinking, and he enjoys finer alcohols. Our gasoline days are over. Play the afternoon on Christmas Day he was downstairs cleaning it all out getting it ready to go. He ran some really awful stuff through it that we had sitting around to get a feel for it, and as luck would have it we had 5 gallons of hard cider in a car boy ready to be bottled. That 5 gallons of cider is now 2 quarts or so in the freezer. It is a wonderful spirit, waiting to be diluted and bottled. The man has spent hours watching YouTube videos, and learning, and researching the best ways to distill anything. I had no idea it was going to be such a hit. The best part for me is that during the distilling process there is a lot of stand around the time, and I’ve been really enjoying spending it with him.
