EasyStill Distiller with Plastic Collection Container

I've had one EsasyStill since four or five years ago. Now I own four.

I used them for distilling water and alcohol.

Excellent results.

The first machine have endured long periods of activity of almost 24/7 for months and still runs at peak perfomance.

As others have mentioned, this does not appear to be modified from a regular water distiller. The price at Brewhaus is comparable to the price for apparently identical units sold on amazon so at least that is nice and it comes with extra stuff that is handy. My bigger beef is that the Stainless Steel behind the Seal on the top of the unit will rust, causing it to leak and loose pressure, which, in addition to causing a mess reduces cooking efficiency and producing less distillate. I was able to carefully clean off this rust, coat this area with Vaseline and resume cooking successfully so far. I'd suggest removing the seal and cleaning this area on a regular basis. Otherwise it does distill alcohol, producing around 60% or 75% if you double cook, which didn't seem to help the taste much if any so I don't bother with double cooking. Eventually I will probably buy a bigger still so that I can do one 6 gallon cook instead of 6 per batch.

This little bundled unit is a great start! Performs flawlessly and just how instructions state right out of the box. Just plug and play. Nice flavor carry over from store bought solutions, or a homemade solution with some post flavoring from scratch or essence, you will be pleased. The possibilities are endless... brandy, sake, vodka, rum, whisky!!! EasyFilter is somewhat clumsy, but is functional and should not detour your decision to purchase this kit (Note; use extra plenty sealant inside the couplings to prevent leaks). Customer service is excellent, received a damaged test meter and it was replaced quickly no questions asked. Staff knows their stuff, gives good advise, and responds quickly. If you are serious about the hobby, you will quickly out grow this unit, consider the PSII. Call your buds, light up the grill, and break out a jug! Would recommend to friends.

This thing is great. A little bigger than a coffee maker and very quiet. It is great for doing small batches of whatever and with running batches 2-3 times you can easily get into the 80%plus range. At least that's where I have gotten and stopped. I have an 8 week old baby so running to the shed garage basement constantly to do my hobby is not possible but on the counter in the kitchen works great. I figured it would be good to mention that because I am sure there are others like me who have busy lives and were unsure if they would have time to take part in a hobby like this one and the answer is yes you can. I ran a box of cheap wine the first time to test it and you may want to do the same. I saw in a different review on this product that it came out to watery. If you let this thing run till it is empty you will put the water right back in. I use a timer and once you get it figured its pretty much hands free.

I will keep it short and sweet. I only wish I had five more just like it! Makes the best quality product with an easy user friendly system. Brewhause please call me if you guys ever have a larger unit that works the same way. I simply love this thing!

No problem getting good product from this. I didnt dissect the machine, I used it properly and was never disappointed in my 100 proof or better. It only makes about a quart.

the details said it takes 3 hours to distilling. When I took this out, cleaned it and rinsed it, I put in 750ml of a mash, within 15 minutes out came the start of the distilled product. i finished within the hour, with no problems. works great, and easy to clean.

It works great! Easy to clean and operate, with really amazing results in the production of distillates!

Well, i got it and tried my first batch over the weekend. Was surprised to get so much finished product, only it wasn't just alcohol. Looks like mine boiled the mash and I got a 25-30% alcohol content and almost 80% yield of the initial volume. Tested it by running the batch through again and it went down to 10% alcohol. Looks like mine didnt get the conversion coil or something. Not too happy with it as it is. Can i get a new lower heating coil for it? <br><b>As per the instructions at www.brewhaus.com/Instruction-Pages/EasyStill.htm, you need to control how much distillate you collect. You cannot wait for the unit to shut off.</b>
