The Essential Extractor High Volume Gin Series is a complete distillation unit that allows you to operate it as a pot/whisky distiller, reflux distiller, moonshine still, or gin still, depending on the configuration that you select. The gin basket enables you to produce gin, flavored vodka, and other flavor-infused spirits or essential oils.
The larger, 3″ diameter column allows you to produce the same high-quality distillate in less time than standard 2″ diameter columns. This complete still kit comes with everything you need–except for your desired heat source and something to distill. Learn more about the design of this forced reflux still here.

Recommendations:
- To heat this unit with an 8-gallon kettle, either one band heater or one internal heating element is sufficient.
- For a 15-gallon kettle, use either two band heaters or two internal heating elements to bring it to a boil, then just use one to run.
- For column packing, choose the ceramic raschig rings for distilling water or essential oils, and copper mesh for distilling alcohol.
- If you don’t want the bung, choose the Wireless Digital Thermometer for your thermometer upgrade (above). It comes with an end cap & 1/2″ coupling that the thermometer screws into at the top of the column, so no bung at all!
