Review on 🧪 T-500 Boiler and Condenser Complete System by Still Spirits by Dan Reggae

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple and works great!

Looks good, I've used it twice and was quite impressed although couldn't get any performance at the advertised temperature settings. After 3 hours of starting production and maintaining an average column temperature of 160°F, I was only producing about a cup of alcohol. Since it wasn't working I decided to up it to 170f and the production looked like it should. About a gallon was produced over the next approximately 3-3 1/2 hours. A mistake on my part resulted in spoiling the end of production and diluting the product to 85% purity. The second use went better, keeping the column temperature between 155 and 165 degrees, worked well but took 7 1/2 hours instead of 4 hours. Took 1/2-5 hours but I got a 91% yield so it was good. Next time I'll choose a column temperature of 160-170 and expect the desired results. I live in Los Angeles, right? Does our hard water raise the required temperature or does anyone have an explanation? Once you stabilize the temperature, you can leave this thing alone. After about the first 1/2 hour or maybe less after start of production it just runs in automatic mode. BTW I got myself a water flow controller from Still Spirits which is still hard to control accurately but is much better than controlling a faucet attached to your faucet

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
