20 best moonshine stills of 2021

The stainless steel distiller has a built-in double stage system. The closed cycle allows you to get the purest product without any additional time spent on re-distillation. As a result, the operation of this moonshine also saves water for cooling, and homemade vodka at the outlet is obtained without a specific smell and high strength (up to 70 °).

The owners who have chosen this unit for their home are generally satisfied with the capabilities of the device. Many pay attention to the reliability of the system. The presence of a built-in thermometer in the second chamber allows you to more accurately control the process. It should be borne in mind that Yuryuzani's distillation cube is designed to work with gas stoves. The reviews note the high quality of the welds and the solid appearance of the overall design, where everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Depending on the intensity of the process (regulated by the degree of heating), the performance of the moonshine still is quite decent - up to 2 liters of product can be obtained per hour of work.

The best assistant in the home preparation of strong alcoholic beverages will be the Krepyshok moonshine from Alcovar. It provides everything necessary to obtain a high-quality product in the amount of 3-5 liters per production cycle, depending on the selected volume of the distillation cube (12 liters and 20 liters). The versatility of the design of this moonshine still provides not only convenience and ease of operation, but also the best result of the strength and purification of moonshine. Due to the presence of a dry steamer soldered with a coil, where stainless shavings act as a filler, the output is a drink with a strength of up to 70 °.

The Alkovar KrepyshOk moonshine is made using 1-1.5 mm stainless steel, which guarantees its long service life of up to 30 years. This unit is resistant to maximum temperatures and can be installed on any heating surface. In their reviews, users note ease of use due to the presence of handles and a wide neck. To monitor and control the production process, this machine has a bimetallic thermometer. The presented model, according to its characteristics, is a worthy participant in the top rating, and will certainly become the best choice for beginner producers of home-made alcohol.

The classic design of the device "Phoenix Dream" looks great. Perhaps this is the best distiller in terms of appearance, but these are far from all of its features. If you lose sight of the distillation tank, designed for 8 liters, you can praise the installation for a productivity of 3 liters per hour.

Equipment deserves special attention. An important fact is the basic presence of a steamer, which retains harmful impurities and significantly improves the quality of the finished product. The lack of a thermometer is a little annoying, because of which you have to control the temperature in the chamber “by eye” or by other methods. But in general, the moonshine is very good, and largely justifies its price.

An elegant look is not about him. Unsightly and bulky in appearance, but very practical internally, "Magarych Derevensky 20T" becomes the decoration of our entire rating. What is good about it: firstly, it is worth noting the volume of the distillation cube, which is 20 liters. Since this model is intended for use not only in urban, but also in rural conditions, the manufacturers decided to equip the installation with a large tank without resorting to “screwing” additional components.

Heating comes from electric and gas stoves, and the temperature inside is controlled by a prudently installed thermometer. According to users, the quality of the resulting product is good, but not the standard. Nevertheless, the distiller itself receives very high marks, for which it is rightfully one of the best moonshine stills.

The Pervach Economy 20 moonshine presented in our rating differs not only in its budget price, but also in the most simplified design, which, in principle, does not prevent it from receiving positive feedback from users who purchased it for the home.With its help, lovers of strong drinks get a quality product without any additional effort. The volume of the tank of this distiller is designed for 20 liters of liquid, which is processed at a rate of up to 3 l / h during the primary distillation, and 5 l / h during the second distillation.

This household moonshine still is made of high quality food-grade material and is designed for a long service life. To ensure safety during the production process, this model has a valve that relieves excess pressure. For the best distillation results, high-quality cooling should be ensured by connecting the Pervach moonshine to running water. The reviews indicate a slight inconvenience of service due to the narrow neck of the cube.

This is probably the only moonshine in the ranking that has a designer exterior. Such a unit does not need to be hidden in a distant closet - for the home it will definitely become a key interior detail and a subject of conversation. Made entirely of copper, in its forms it resembles an object from Arab fairy tales, and this is partly true - the unit repeats the ancient Egyptian device. It should be noted that the performance of Al-Ambiq is as high as the aesthetic.

A 10 liter alembic and high capacity (4 l/h - copper pipes make themselves felt) allow you to quickly get enough spirits for a party (ideal for the production of armagnac (brandy) and cognac). Do not underestimate the safety of the moonshine still. The working tank has an emergency pressure relief valve, and a thermometer built into the outlet allows you to control the temperature of the exhaust vapors in front of the cooling coil (condenser). The only reason why this unit did not top the TOP-5 in this category is its price. But judging by the reviews of the owners, the device is worth the money.

A worthy participant in our top rating has a small capacity distillation cube - only 15 liters. This will allow you to create a sufficient supply of an alcoholic drink from 10 liters of mash without restarting (it is not recommended to fill more than 70-75% of the volume of the cube). The unit is easy to set up, and allows even a novice distiller to get a unique product with special organoleptic characteristics. The moonshine can also dispense light drinks, in which it is easy to disassemble the bouquet of aromas of the key ingredients of the wort.

A separate option (to be ordered separately) is a safety valve, which, in emergency cases, relieves excess pressure in the distillation cube. All parts, with the exception of the condenser water inlet/outlet hose, are made of high quality food grade stainless steel. Additional protection against possible marriage is the manufacturer's warranty (valid for 12 months).The unit, judging by the reviews, practically does not know wear, even with daily use. The moonshine still is easy to maintain, and has good performance - in an hour of distillation (when the operating temperature is reached), it is possible to obtain up to a liter of product.

The design of this moonshine still is simple and reliable. It combines the features of a distillation column and a standard unit to produce a highly purified distillate. One cleaning cycle in such a model is equivalent to three or four distillation cycles in a moonshine still ... but with one small and very interesting condition.

Making such a statement, the developers, and many users, had in mind the initial settings, without dry steamers and other devices. A single distillation in more "fancy" moonshine stills gives a qualitatively the same product, which can only indicate the unsubstantiated statements. In general, the Thermosphere "Istochnik Classic" is a good model worthy of attention from potential buyers.

Moonshine still "Phoenix Spartak" with a cube volume of 35 liters is an ideal model for one-time and hassle-free distillation of a large amount of raw materials. It is the fact of good capacity that is advantageous for many consumers. Of course, the dimensions of the installation will not allow it to be placed in small kitchens, but in spacious rooms (and if necessary) there will be no such problems.

The design of the apparatus was based on the principle of compatibility - the distillation column was combined with a standard moonshine still. As a result, we get a good distiller at an attractive price.

Distiller "Good heat Triumph" is a traditional moonshine still, equipped with a lot of additional elements. Two sukhoparniks are located in series on the output tube, which exclude even the slightest chance of getting into the final product a large amount of harmful impurities that greatly affect the taste.

Moreover, all dry steam tanks are equipped with a valve for draining fusel oils accumulating at their bottom. You can control the heating using the installed temperature sensor, which accurately transmits the temperature inside the tank to the indicator. According to users, this is one of the best and most convenient installations to use, giving a hardened product with a strength of up to 80-85 degrees.

The device went on sale with the beginning of summer, and has already managed to get the first recommendations and reviews from new owners. In this model, the shortcomings of the previous series were taken into account and corrected (and they were), so that the new moonshine unit can quickly become the most popular on the market. In any case, he managed to “punch” his way into our top rating. Representing a distillation unit with a 2-inch selective neck, Luksstal-6 can be easily reassembled by the owner and operate in various haul modes. The clamp connections used in the key line allow this to be done in a matter of minutes.

The fact is that in its original form, the height of the equipment will be almost 180 cm. This will hardly allow you to assemble a moonshine still in an ordinary apartment. The source of heating also matters - the large size of the cube makes the work of the gas burner insufficient. The ideal option is to use an induction cooktop. The system with an inverted cooler will allow, if necessary, to obtain a product with a strength of up to 96.6 °.

A typical representative of the line of moonshine stills from the Schnapser company, which is distinguished by a large price tag and good factory assembly quality. To long-established safety standards, the model is made from 2mm stainless steel sheet with airtight fitting body kits to each other. There is also a branded automatic pressure relief valve, a red dot crowning the impeccably chrome body.

According to the manufacturers, the purchase of this device provides nine different operating modes, which allows you to prepare absolutely any drinks.Consumers slightly refute this fact, but in general they do not question the quality of the run and the final product. Due to the possibility of a free canopy / removal of structural elements, the productivity of X varies from 3 to 7 liters per hour. But even in the case of low returns, the device confidently justifies the investment.

The best moonshine in terms of price, alas, does not perform so well in terms of filtration quality. Despite the fact that the distillation column is equipped with a Panchenkov wire filter, a small part of the impurities manage to pass through it and get into the final product. In principle, one purification cycle is quite sufficient to achieve an acceptable result, however, to obtain an ideal fraction, re-distillation should be resorted to.

The appearance of the device is not bad, as well as the set of things supplied with it. To heat it, you can use gas, electric, as well as ceramic types of heaters.

"Good Heat Profi Plus" is a device that inspires confidence by its very appearance. It is not surprising: the hull and its components are made with due care and responsibility. There is also a small drawback here - on a polished and chrome-plated case, small defects are more noticeable and largely spoil the appearance.

As for the functional state, a wire filter is located inside the rectifier, the efficiency of which is proved by a high degree of purification of the distillate.

Designed for the professional preparation of strong drinks, Bulat Bogatyr 2, included in the top of our rating, is especially popular among the models of moonshine stills presented on the domestic market. An important factor in this is the quality of workmanship using automated TIG welding, which provides an ideal appearance and better strength of the seams. An additional advantage of this device is its versatility, which, moreover, can be expanded by purchasing a wide variety of additional units. This will allow not to be limited to the preparation of only moonshine, but to diversify the process up to 27 different modes.

An improved model of the moonshine still Bulat Bogatyr 2 is equipped with a unit for refilling the mash, which greatly simplifies and speeds up the production process, which already has the best performance. So, for example, in the Pot-stil raw alcohol production mode, the apparatus demonstrates a distillation rate of 8-9 l/h. Despite the impressive size of the column, it is highly stable due to the presence of a 3mm cover that hermetically closes the tank. The reviews note another feature of this moonshine still - a 5-channel refrigerator.

The difference between the scheme of this moonshine still from the classical design is the tie-in of the steamer in front of the coil, which allows you to condense fusel oils. The unit for operation requires running water for cooling and connection to the mains, since heating is carried out using a double heating element. At the same time, there are similar models for induction cookers, which are cheaper. Nevertheless, it is “Thermosfvera” with a heating element that takes part in the top rating, since this is the only participant with this type of heating.

For a 30-liter tank, the manufacturer has many additional options that are ordered separately (from a protective valve to a device for flavoring the final product). The thickness of the bottom and neck of the distillation cube is increased in comparison with the walls of the tank by half - up to 2 mm. Users also like the complete absence of welds on the flange - it is stamped. In general, the reviews of the owners using this device for the home are positive. The distillation proceeds at a good rate (up to 6 l/h), and the refrigerator copes with the cooling of any flow, since it is made with a decent margin.

This moonshine is completely safe, because it has an emergency pressure relief valve. This feature very effectively distinguishes Finlandia Extra from the background of its closest competitors, and makes the model a worthy participant in the top rating.In addition, compared with the previous series, this year the diameter of the main line was increased, due to which the productivity of the device became better - up to 4 liters / hour.

In the reviews of the owners, the thickness of the walls of the distillation cube - 2 mm of stainless steel and high-quality welding determine the serious resistance of the unit to loads and guarantee the longest operation. The presence of three stages of purification of the final product from impurities is also considered important. The basic equipment of the moonshine still (there are many additional connections that significantly expand its capabilities) allows even beginners in this business to prepare not only strong homemade moonshine (up to 60 °), but also drinks such as absinthe, brandy or fruit vodka.

This small, but productive model of the moonshine still has gained great fame among users. The main reason for this excitement is its durability - in the future, such an installation can serve for a decade without resorting to major repairs, but limited only to the replacement of constituent elements (faucets, thermometer, etc.).

Another advantage of the moonshine is its productivity: within an hour it is able to produce up to 3 liters of distillate of acceptable quality. Of course, one sukhoparnik does a good job of separating the product from impurities and fusel oil, but some of them still get into the ready-to-drink drink.The only way out of the situation is repeated distillation, which slows down the cooking process by an order of magnitude.

The original solution in terms of appearance was presented by the manufacturers of the moonshine still "Magarych Mashkovsky 20BKDR". They prudently “wrapped up” the tank of the device, as well as the series-connected dry steamers, which gave the product chic and high cost. The functionality did not let us down either: the moonshine still produces up to two liters of distillate per hour, the quality of which is close to ideal.

This is achieved due to dry steamers, which actively retain the mash inside the distillation tank. In general, this model is almost the best in its price category and rightfully takes its place in our extended rating.

A serious installation for serious business - this is how the Dobry Zhar Extra Lux moonshine still with a capacity of 50 liters can be characterized. It is extremely easy to use, does not require special care and is able to serve for many years. To obtain a highly pure distillate with a minimum amount of impurities, it is equipped with two dry steamers, each of which is equipped with a drain valve for fusel oils.

The developers enthusiastically approached the configuration of their device: along with the moonshine still, each customer will receive a 100-gram pack of alcohol yeast, a recipe book for beginners, a compact alcohol meter, and a carrying and storage case.
