I am a beginner, so I ask professional distillers not to judge me. Theory + frequent presence at moonshine brewing in the villages - that's all I had in my hands when I bought this device. I used the device immediately upon receipt, just by this time the brew arrived. Now about the device itself. The quality of the materials is excellent - I was satisfied. The alembic is super. The capacity to the brim is 20 liters. But a dry steamer... Technically, the lid with a gasket is not thought out. The gasket is very thick. When closed, the lid deforms from a thick gasket and becomes leaky. I replaced the gasket with a silicone hose, cutting it lengthwise and putting it directly on the pan. The dry greenhouse is very large in volume. I did the first haul without it. During the second run, after the selection of goals, half a liter of liquid collected in it. It is very difficult to open and drain the liquid, and then reinstall it. There is a lack of a drain tap. Then I worked without a dry steamer. An open refrigerator does not allow you to work on a gas stove in the kitchen, because at any time water can go over the edges. It is very difficult to adjust the water pressure. Therefore, I drove in the bathroom on an electric stove. Water consumption for two hauls (40 liters of mash) is about 2-3 cubic meters. After rummaging on the network, I decided to make a closed-type refrigerator and a dry steamer. Conclusion: for 108 bucks (I took it at a discount) I got an excellent cube and spare parts for the future dry greenhouse and refrigerator. If it is possible to order from ozone (in Baku this is still a problem), then it is better to order a normal unit. The price may be a little more expensive (or maybe cheaper), but more practical. I give five stars for delivery and quality of materials.
