As someone who bought this after watching the first review and has no clue really where to start, a complete beginners guide on how to do the first run and really get in depth would be awesome
The learning curve was difficult for me, just have to do it. You will likely make some mistakes but it’s part of the process. It will make you a better distiller in the end. I’m starting to find my groove and find it fun now.
I have pretty much the same rig. I can make about 3 quarts of product and 1 quart of tails for the next batch..
Practice..Practice. Practice to get to Broadway.
Trial and error, can’t get good at something without messing up some stuff 😂
Yeah, without a temperature gauge, how do you know when to switch from heads to hearts to tails.
Hey. I have one on the way. I've been wanting to try making some liquor at home. So I finally bought one.
I had a 2 pot distiller in my cart on Amazon but after watching your video I bought the 3 pot distiller at their website and used the coupon code you provided! Thank you for the excellent review! I will come back and watch this again after I receive my distiller.We'll be using ours to distill water!
I bought this. There are no instructions on how to put it together, so I found your video helpful. Thanks!
Its good to see somebody do a more in depth video on these stills.
Great video! I have heard a lot of people talk about them and it’s nice to see someone take the time to show it off. Keep up the good work.
I got one brand new in the box for $30 at a flea market. Can’t wait to make my first run when I get home from my honeymoon
I’m using this set up , the only thing I differently is filtering the distilled liquid into a funil with cotton , it comes out clean as into a glass parrot with an alcohol meter float .
You don't NEED the Tape if you use the Silicone Washers, They work really well....BUT they are very easy to forget about and fall out (and get LOST) when you disconnect them
Compression fitting. Teflon tape actually does nothing.
A really great review mate. Thanks for the info.. you presented & explained step by step very well. You need to do more reviews or recipes for us. Really like your no fuss, this is how you do it review. No BS.. 👍
I appreciate you watching.
This is been exactly what I’m looking for in my decision to get a two or three pot still, a three pot it is
Just got 135 proof off my first run in the 8 gallon still
Never used one of these before always made them out of copper but would be willing to give it a shot
The Still is good but I could see happening to you coil is the same as what was happening with mine the pot with the coil is to small and regardless how you pump your water through it gets too hot, I recommend you put a hosepipe from the kitchen tap to the pot and just let it run put the tube from the output directly down the drain this will keep the coil cold 👍
I just built a bucket worm for it
Got one made by someone else, after the vinegar run I had rust spots in the bottom from crappy weld that I guess had a hole it it before.....went straight to the trash. May give vevor a try.
Another good reason for a first cleaning run
is there a video of starting..i just wanna make distilled water right now, but im still trying to figure out the vinegar run..just need to know how not to blow myself up! lol..thanks in advance
Thanks for the coupon code, I just ordered one using it. Cheers.
Thanks buddy. Very nicely done instruction video
Thanks for watching
I have an older version of this still. It suits my needs until I get the time to build something better. I've never had an issue with it. I double distill everything now and I am happy with the results.
How do you clean yours after use?
@@jupitercyclops6521 after I use it I wash everything with dawn dish detergent and water and rinse well. When I do the next run I dump the first 200 mils which is very toxic to every living organism. Nothing can survive that. I always run mine at least 2 times, usually 3, and I dump the first 200 mils each time. I've done this for years with no problems.
This video will be a huge help when I go to assemble it.I'm replacing the water filter under my sink with this so I 'll finally have good drinking water. I'm going with Distilled water because it removes toxic metals from the body.
Thanks for the video ,excellent. Do Vevor supply beginners instructions and recipes.
I got one & it has recipes & instructions
I'm a newbie, but to me it seems like both recipes & instructions aren't in depth enough in ways & in other ways too in depth if that makes sense.
Like most things, most valuable info comes off the you tube
Subbed out the original coil and pot for a longer one and made a bigger cooling pot. Didn’t cost much to upgrade. Definitely helpful
I made a thumper jar and bucket worm for it
What sizes are the hoses and thread pitch ?
what parts did you buy?
I have this still, and I want to upgrade. Need to find a 10 to 15 gallon pot with a locking lid and use the 5 gallon pot for my thumper and make a bigger worm bucket... condenser
hey! did you ever make that upgrade? i am planning on doing the same, buying the 13-gallon still, plus the 5-gallon one to use as a thumper, so it would be nice to know if you ever got it done and how. thanks
Well thanks for the review, I always wanted to get into this and now I'm retired I am going to. I know nothing about what I'm doing so any advice would be appreciated.
Thats a really good review Big Eaze.
Thanks for watching
I’ve been making wine for nearly 35 years. Can I use wine to make shine?
Yes. Distilled wine is known as brandy. Aka brandy wine . It’s actually what he is demonstrating
I didn't use no Teflon tape an I still didn't have any leaks,I run mine on a single burner hot plate!!
I'm buying the 13.2 gallon version next week!
Let me know how it goes
I got that one! Works great!!
I have an 8 gallon Vevor rig that is great for smaller/testing ideas runs, it wasn't expensive but it's not cheaply made and makes some decent shine. I'm interested in what improvement(s) you guys have in mind!
p.s. Just read the comments and a jar thumper is something I was debating making. Also, I use copper mesh tucked into both ends of the tube to the thumper or the worm if not using the thumper.
Thumper Jar is coming I’ve already developed it it’s in testing
@@bigeaze5711 Wonderful!
Do any of the parts in this kind of system wear out fast? Like would you want spare parts for those if any on hand if you were thinking long term?
And if you just wanted to use it for purifying water, is there an ideal heat setting? Or would does it matter or better to just do max heat?
G'day Philbilly,
Mate I loved your video. Bought one of these contraptions and was delivered yesterday. I think it's awesome.
Loved your idea for sealing with teflon.
Looking forward to using it. I'm sure I'll stuff up some mixes but willing to give it a go and trial different blends.
Loved your easy, clear style of tuition man. Great stuff.
Thanks again from Keiran in Melbourne Australia.
You are a gun mate. Keep up the great work. Video was so helpful. Cheers
👍👍👍
That type of fitting is not improved by teflon
I just got a 8 gallon vevor still. We ran it a couple of times but only got 2 pints of shine. We had a 5 gallon mash. Can you help us out and let us know what we are doing wrong? We should be getting a better yield.
How long does it take from start to finish? Not counting the fermentation, just the distilling time?
This took me about 2 hours
Hi there, for a beginner did you suggest that one or the other style with the thumper jar ( Vevor Model VV-PG30L-220V ) - means which one in longer duration is more modern/efficient/professional/comfortable/flexible from your point of view ? Many thx. in advance for your experienced reply, suggestion & help- greats from germany ;)
Good video. Thank you for the info. 👍🏻
Remember the burrito wuine video? lol. Great to see you guys doing so well!
I always thought the thumper was too small on those units mabey i was wrong ,am i ?
I agree.
Is it legal to make brandy at home?
Been looking at Reverse O for water..and realized such a waste of water . So now I think this distiller will be good to make me clean water.
I bought one to distill water but haven't assembled it
Teflon tape compression fitting?
These don’t compress well
Doesnt leak even without the tape but like i said below , i worry about the thumper being way to smsll
What are your thoughts on adding some copper mesh in the stainless tube going from the boiler to the thumper???
I bought it using the PhilBilly Code!!
More copper is always better when it comes to stainless
Hey Eaze, my mom just bought me one of these for xmas, Ima put tails and a couple oz of california kind bud in the thumper ok?
The threads on this are straight threads, not NPT taper threads. They don't need teflon tape, as all the threads do is pull the flare on the tube firmly so the flare seats against the cone of the fitting. It makes a metal to metal joint- no sealant is required.
Maybe so, but they’re gonna leak if you don’t tape em
@@bigeaze5711 I've got the Vevor still, and if you tighten the flared joints properly, they don't leak. No teflon tape required. They should have used compression fittings with ferrules in them, instead of flares, then it would have been a no brainer, but hey- it's a cheap Chinese thing. For the price, I'm totally happy with mine!
copper mesh for the thumper?
Thankyou
I would like to see your guys take on the digiboil distilling setup or changes you guys could offer for it .
First like and comment here. Make a jar thumper set up for one of these like you did the football still. I’d buy one from you guys!
We already did it’ll be up for sale soon
Hey its waylon momma the one who won the still, just leaving a comment I don't have Facebook
Text me your address 937-580-6568
Excellent video brother I could have a drink with PhilBilly any day
If you use a glass top oven. What temp do you set the stove on?
Run temp based on how the drip is going
@@bigeaze5711 okay.
How about clining the stil before you start destilling ??
Dude great Vid. I have on of that little suckers too what so ever I just wonder what did u put in the Booster ?
I primed it
Isnt it important to cline the stil before you start use ir? ???
I rinsed it out off camera
I love all my VEVOR products so far.
Thanks , waiting to get mine
Excelente explicación, acabo de comprar uno,me estoy iniciando en este arte , saludo y gracias, desde Panamá.
The issue I'm have is finding new gaskets for the pot and for the thumper/slobber box. I found the gaskets for the pipes. I contacted them and they said they DO NOT carry parts for any of the still kits. So now going to have to re pipe everything and go to mason jar thumper.
The mason jar thumper is an awesome upgrade
@@bigeaze5711 already on it . Going with a 1/2 gallon mason jar thumper to start with, for my 8.9 pot.
That seems low iq to not offer replacement parts.
It's like free $ if they already have to have parts + its just good business to take care of your customers.
Gaskets like that are bound to wear out & get lost
I made gaskets out of dough, like they used to do before silicon
Lookin good ..id be happy to give that a go
Great Video thanks!
Bait and Switch.... over $120 now.
It comes with a water pump though, doesn't it?
Mine did
This was when they had em on sale
i would like to see how you can get etheric oils from fruit etc
Question. Did a practice run of a a gallon of boxed wine, threw the heads out. The run gave me about 2 cups of liquor. Did a second run on the liquor I got out of the first, but was wondering if I need to throw the heads out of the second run as well?
You don’t have to but I still toss off a little because the first bit stinks and taste terrible
I purchase the larger still and it does have the thumper but how deep do you put something in the thumper does it go over the hoses I have a complete beginner I watched my grandfather when I was a child but I was more interested in getting into trouble then watching him and the little pump for the water flow it is a submersible pump right
About an inch off the bottom
Yes submerge
Isn't there a plastic in that bending metal tube?
It would be helpful to know how long from fire to finish…?
That really depends on how you run it, took me 2 hours from start to finish
What temp did you hold on the thermostat on the lid while you was running. I'm curious to what temp I held at and what everyone one else did
I ignore the thermometer and hold my heat based on how it’s running out of the worm. Use you thermometer as a reference not a guide you’ll run better
I wood love too have one
I applaud the fact that you video has a runtime of 13:13. Probable accidental, but totally awesome if you in fact crafted it that way....
Accidental but still awesome
Man... I have the same .but when I start it- the "pot" start dancing on an electric stove...what can be a solution?(
How do other spirituous liquors get their amber color?
In almost all cases it is wood aged. Unless it is post flavored, and post colored.
Cool little still
I tried to use the promotion coupon code. They have it blocked out on the website. I guess I will a still elsewhere.
How about for distilling water??
Why not? I bought one for drinking water to replace a under counter water filter but haven't assembled it
Just asking how long does it to take to run?
Kind of alarmed by the brass fittings, I would swap them out for copper
Can’t see where the water inlets and outlets go, and which one is the pump on?
Cold water in the bottom hot out of the top
Just picked up one that was 130ish, and claimed to be 13.2 gallon... looks like everything else is the same.
Just ordered myself one yesterday as well.. better be 13gal.
Could someone tell me what the function of the knock barrel is?
I have the 3 gallon i love it
Awesome thanks!
How can I test for methanol
Flame test look for true blue
You might want to swap out the fittings with stainless steel because some have tested the fittings and found lead in it.
If it was my still I’d swap em out with copper lines immediately.
Propane is way too hot for a small pot like that.
Is tap water so expensive or why the F people fiddle with those small pumps and end up circulating warm water?
wanting to get a first still for my dad...would you recommend this or the football style? Both are same price right now for 5-8 gallon. He is only going to do peach and pear brandy with it. thanks
Football for sure
So you don’t need a combination of hot and ice called water in that pump pot of water?
Not if you have enough cool water to constantly feed it
So I got a question I got the same one it is 13 and 1/2 gal so how much four shots and heads will I be thrown away total
You got it for 90 US$ in 2022? I can't find it for under 180 US$ in November 2023 😱
How to make Scottish whiskey in this?
You recirculate the water, add ice to your container to keep it all cool.
I had a 50 gallon barrel of cool water and sent the hot water in to a different barrel
I freeze 5 gallon buckets place those in cooler with pump ,exhaust on the ice never gets hot..
What use for mash
Peach and banana wine
You put the tape on backwards the second fitting couldn’t help but notice lol
I'm really getting interested in stilling some liquor. How hot are you running this thing? Also, about how long and when do you know when your tails are done?
Run temp is based on the stream out of the worm, tails usually come in at 90 proof
How do you know when the methanol is burnt off
The fist 50 ml per 1 gallon of wash will be heads toss that
what material is the still made of? Is it induction compatible?
Stainless steel
How long ya think this would take to distill a gallon of water
Couple hours
I have this, but it is a 50 litre, so does that mean if I run it to capacity, would I need to take the first one and quarter litre as my heads
Sorry half a litre of heads
50ml per gallon
Love this channel fellas. Been watching for a while and think I'm ready to start diving into it myself. How do I enter the giveaway?
There will be a video all about it soon
i just bought that for $165 not bad but not great
How to know when I'm about to get the tails with 5 gallon pot
90 proof is tails
I love my 5 gallon. Added a mason jar thumper, and infuse some good flavors. I do wish the company made a replacement parts package. I could use new washers and hoses, but not sure what to order for it.
Crazy they don't sell replacements.
Good business & free $ basically.
How do you clean yours after use?
@@jupitercyclops6521 vinegar
@@jupitercyclops6521 Go to your local hardware store and buy better hoses. tygon tubing etc.
What gauge is the Teflon tape for the parts??
Not sure it’s pretty thin, it’s the cheapest one they sell at Lowe’s
Thanks for the great video!
Unfortunately, the code has expired.
Might Vevor be willing to give you a new code for us to use that doesn’t expire after a month?
Thanks again!
