The purchase of high-quality and expensive moonshine stills is becoming more and more important for city residents, because alcoholic products in stores are becoming more expensive, and the quality is steadily falling down. It is not surprising that Russian manufacturers make high-quality products that meet all quality standards for brewing strong drinks at home. To understand the variety and all the intricacies of buying such a product, you need to collect information about it.

Overview of moonshine stills

Expensive moonshine stills are valued for their reliability, convenience, durability and high performance. For lovers of strong alcohol, a professional moonshine still is a godsend, because the quality of the resulting product directly depends not only on the skill of the winemaker, but also on the quality of the apparatus.

In the past, home-made moonshine brewers made by craftsmen from technical metal were a frequent occurrence. Now other times have come. Both cheap and professional premium-class moonshine stills have appeared on sale, which are ready to brew a high-quality and safe drink in the shortest possible time.

The difference between a store-bought moonshine and a homemade one

What is the superiority of factory-made home-brewing machines from home-made ones, you will learn from the information provided below, based on numerous reviews.

• The factory product is capable of producing pure moonshine, as it is made of food steel, which has sufficient heat resistance, does not oxidize over time, and does not emit impurities harmful to humans. Most factory models are equipped with a dry steamer with a steam release valve. Such an additional unit serves to purify alcohol from fusel oils. The design of the factory product uses silicone gaskets that do not emit unpleasant odors and do not spoil the taste of the drink. Self-made products use low-quality rubber from unknown sources, which can harm a person.
• Expensive factory-made moonshine stills boast high performance. On average, they are able to produce from 2 to 4 liters of alcohol per hour in the first stage, and up to 6.5 liters per hour in the second.
• Manufacturer of home brewing machinesguarantees the safety of its products, if you follow the recommendations. The structure is connected using seamless argon welding, the steel thickness of the product reaches 3 mm. The most expensive moonshine stills in the world are equipped with an automatic pressure relief valve, which provides additional safety during use of the equipment.
• Modern and expensive moonshine stills save your time, because they are equipped with a steamer. According to the manufacturers, with such equipment, one distillation of the mash is enough. The drink will be of high quality, transparent and clean.
• A factory-made moonshine still looks much more aesthetically pleasing than a home-made one. Expensive moonshine stills have an exclusive design, a beautiful mirror surface. Such a product can serve as a great gift.
• The manufacturer of moonshine brewing machines issues a state quality certificate for its products.

Distiller

Moonshine should produce pure and safe alcohol from the mash. To carry out such a process, it is necessary to heat the mash, and the steam formed due to this must be cooled by moving it through the coil, while cooling the walls of the vessel with ice water. Such a chemical process is called distillation, and moonshiners call the device itself a distiller. After completing such a simple process, alcohol is obtained.

Types and main differences of distillers

Devices differ from each other in terms of the type of container where the mash is poured, as well as the methods of steam cooling and the quality of the final product. Moonshine stills can be of various types:

• with sump;
• with no additional equipment such as a sump, dephlegmator or dry steamer;
• flow-through, i.e. cooled by tap water;
• cooled in other ways.

Reviews indicate that cheap models of devices without a sump purify the liquid from harmful impurities much worse. Water and fusel oils remain in the steam obtained during heating. At first, they accumulate an insignificant amount, but as they heat up, they accumulate and can adversely affect the quality of the strong drink. A steamer or dephlegmator is needed to purify steam from harmful materials; it is located on the most expensive moonshine stills in the world between the tank and the coil.

Devices without a coil are referred to a separate type of moonshine stills. The device is designed in such a way that the container for collecting alcohol is located in the container of the pot with the mash. The steam obtained during heating is cooled by ice water, which is located at the bottom of the tank. The quality of the resulting product on such a machine is very poor.

Types and design of the moonshine still tank for mash

Devices for producing moonshine are divided into types and according to the design of the tank formash placement:

• small bowls;
• for professional use;
• powered by electricity;
• heated by induction oven;
• a device based on a pressure cooker;
• body made of various materials: copper, aluminum, stainless steel;
• a thermometer is installed on the tank of some models, which is able to determine the temperature of the heating of the mash - all this is done for the convenience of users.
