Recommendations:
- Most customers choose an 8-gallon kettle for this unit. If you're looking at a 15-gallon, also consider the High Volume Gin Series, which features a larger column size.
- To heat this unit, either one band heater or one internal heating element is sufficient.
- For column packing, choose the ceramic raschig rings for distilling water or essential oils, and copper mesh for distilling alcohol.
- If you don't like the bung, choose one of the Solar Digital thermometers as your thermometer upgrade. This comes with an end cap with 1/2" coupling that the thermometer screws into at the top of the column, getting rid of the bung completely.
*Most parts are laser welded. For information on the benefits of laser welding click here.

NateJun 19, 2021, 12:00 AMExceptional quality. This is not a cheap amazon still. The workmanship is excellent, the quality is great and I am in everyway happy with the price. The only issue I ran into was the copper mesh didn't ship at the same time. Customer service has always been great to work with though, so I'm sure they'll send it out once they see my email. I highly recommend this still to anyone that wants to take the next step in distillation.
