Ratings and Reviews of 15 Gallon Essential Extractor Pro Series II Complete Moonshine Still

Outstanding!. This distiller is absolutely outstanding!! The high quality materials are remarkable and the workman ship is impressive. I highly recommend upgrading to the premium kettle you will not regret it! The premium kettle is heavy duty and a work of art! My distiller was on back order for 24 days and I will tell you it was well worth the wait and far exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended!! A++++

Essential Extractor II Still. Excellent product. With 5 gallons of fermented table sugar and turbo yeast, I am able to consistantly get 2.5 gallons of 80 proof alcohol from this still. It takes about 2.5 hours before my temp reaches 178deg at which time I stop. Granted, the alcohol that comes out of my still is generaly 160 proof. I then freeze it and dillute with filtered water down to 80. My mash fermenter is a 20 gallon bucket. When filled with 17 gallons of mash, I usualy get about 5.5 to 6 gallons of finished 80 proof spirit. Delicious!

PSII. THIS THING IS AWSOME I WOULD RECCOMEND IT TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO WANT TO PRODUCE A HIGH QUALITY distillate WITH EASE. I HAD NEVER RAN A STILL BEFOR AN ON MY FIRST ATTEMPT I GOT 94% ABV. AND YOU CANNOT BEAT THE FAST SHIPPING AND SEVICE I WILL BE A LONG TERM CUSTOMER WHIT THE BREWHAUS THANK YOU HAPPY NEW YEAR

Perfect product for near pure ethanol production. This is THE all in one kit to start making ethanol ASAP. It is especially well suited to producing clean 94 ABV distallates from sugar wash. Also makes decent grain based distillate in pot mode, but reflux is where this thing really shines. If you get the gold starter kit as well, you'll be trying your first batch in a week!

Amazing. All I can say is Thank you to Rick and Brewhaus, this package is truly complete, I am in awe at how amazing this still is and how great it looks assembled and in action. Anyone considering buying a still, look no further this is the one you want and need! you will not be dissapointed! It is the best one you will come across. Customer service is just as good as the equipment! You have a great thing going here!

Perfect for first timers. I purchased the Essential Extractor PSII.This is the first time that I ever used a Distiller and never realized that it could be so easy. On my first batch I use a sugar mash and came out with 174 proof. I recommend this product to anyone.

Le Fee Verte (Absinthe). I sampled some Absinthe once while boarding a jet in Toronto...I never was much of a 'drinker' per se. This stuff is 'wild'...I started purchasing commercial varieties from Europe over the net...some are stronger than others (thujone levels)...did some research on original recipies from a hundred years ago...decided to try and make the stuff myself...I purchased this unit (Essential Extractor Pro Series II) from Brewhaus...found herb growers in N.Calif...fresh artemesia absinthium and fennel is shipped to me overnight-frieght...the first batch, I was reday for anything; foul taste, low levels of alcohol and thujone......BUT, this was not the case...the elixir was magnificent. Thujone levels the highest I've ever experienced. Stronger than 'King of Spirits Gold' from Czechoslovakia. Customer support from Brewhaus has been excellant. The product I purchased (Essential Extractor Pro Series II) is superior. This whole 'hobby' has been actually quite easy to carry out...good luck...Mark

PSII. Wow what a deal! I searched high and dry to find a nice personal sized unit from someone that was trust worthy. Brewhaus delivered! Did my first run yesterday and am very happy with the units performance and the quality of the product.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great, but voltage ratings to be remembered. Bought the fermenter starter kit gold and a hotplate with the distiller. All arrived at these far shores intact and without any damage. But remember the hotplate and water pump are for 120 volts, which does not work in this country - had to get local stuff. All my stupid questions were answered with great patience and clarity. Thanks for the best of service. Have done two runs - one reflux and one traditional. Essential oil extraction next. Am having great fun.

Awesome quality, awesome service. As a new owner of a Pro Series II Extractor, I couldn't be happier with the performance of this fine unit, and with Rick/Brewhaus America's service ethic. All parts of the unit went together smoothly, and even my first distillations went flawlessly, with 94% ABV output under reflux, and 65-70% with simple distillation. I've made 4 runs over the last 6 weeks, starting with a tentative 2-liter commercial wine distillation, and most recently a 25-liter molasses wash which produced a knock-out rum (if I do say so myself). My heat source is the 1100-watt unit that Brewhaus offers, and I never worry about overheating. I've done both simple and reflux distillations, with both raschig rings and copper mesh as column packing. It's all good. Thanks to Rick and his great forum for all the handy tips and recipes. This is really a terrific hobby!
