Rating of the best moonshine stills for home and garden in 2022

The World Wide Web is filled with catchy and colorful advertising of moonshine stills, but the words of advertisers do not always correspond to this equipment. That is why this rating of the best moonshine stills for home and summer cottages in 2022 has been compiled. The models described below can be relied upon for cost and build reliability.

History of moonshine

Such a phenomenon as alcohol appeared in very ancient civilizations. Studies of the remains of the contents on ancient vessels discovered the first alcoholic beverages as early as the Neolithic era - as far back as 10,000 years BC.

To this day, China remains the birthplace of strong drinks. However, in other countries, at least in later periods, people invented more and more new drinks “with a degree”, developed new technologies, tried more and more modern methods.

Certain alcoholic beverages are associated with different countries. Beer - Germany and the Czech Republic, wine - Georgia and Italy, tequila - Mexico, port wine - Portugal, whiskey - Ireland, vodka and moonshine - Russia.

Moonshine in Rus' dates back to the distant XV century. In fact, moonshine is a chilled alcohol that has evaporated from the boiling of an alcohol mixture, also called mash. This Braga was made mainly from fruits growing in Rus': apples, plums, pears, as well as cereals. The main thing is the content in fruits and berries of a sufficient amount of sugar or carbohydrate compounds close to sugar.

Interestingly, moonshine was originally a medicine, and only then became an integral part of feasts, appeared in taverns, and began to be prepared in many homes.

How can you make moonshine yourself?

There are two main ways to make moonshine.

The first is the familiar "hello" on the banks. Braga is poured into a large container and ferments. A tightly inflated glove announces the readiness of fermentation. The method is laborious, much has to be done manually. The quality of the resulting drink is not up to par, it requires a lot of cleaning from precipitation, you need a lot of containers for large volumes. For a long time.

The second way is much more modern, fast and allows you to get a really high-class drink. This is a moonshine. Many will now remember the famous film "Moonshiners", where the dog took the coil from careless crooks, delivering the part and the criminals right red-handed to the police station. There is no need to be afraid of anything or anyone if you make a drink for yourself and to treat your friends.

The sale of moonshine is punishable by law. These are several articles. But if you just want to regularly provide yourself with a quality drink (knowing exactly what it is made from), if you don’t want to buy dubious store-bought liquor for feasts, but put obviously proven strong moonshine, then a moonshine maker is what you need!

Of course, you can also make a moonshine yourself, with certain knowledge. But are you ready to find real stainless steel? Quality distiller? Food hoses? Are you a good welder? If not, then let's learn how to choose a device, because there are enough offers on the market now.

How to choose a moonshine still?

Important criteria for choosing a model are:

• Desired volumes of the drink produced: whether it will be small portions for special occasions or a large family, alcohol is consumed constantly and given to friends for the holidays;
• The presence of running water in the house is relevant for a number of cottages where this convenience is not available;
• Desired final product: only moonshine or still need alcohol;
• Availability of space for the device. It is not possible to install a large unit in a tiny apartment;
• your financial possibilities. Small and unpretentious models are affordable even for the poor. But here the rule clearly works: the higher the price, the usually higher the quality. If the device is taken for many years of service, it is better to fork out for it;
• your aesthetic needs. Yes, not everyone just “rides”, checkers are also important to someone. If the interior is made in a strictly defined style, and you don’t want to violate it with this unit, then you will have to pay attention to the appearance.

The latter enter the second cooling circuit, the steam condenses and the result is a strong, high-quality purified alcoholic beverage of double distillation.

The double stopcock is an exclusive design element for selecting heads and tails, which solves 2 main issues:

• Separation of hazardous impurities during the first and second distillation - it is only necessary to turn the tap in time.
• Alcohol content monitoring in the main tank – all you need to do is shut off the supply of hazardous tailings to the inner tank.

Rating of moonshine stills with a column

Until now, conflicts on the forums of moonshine producers have not been extinguished regarding the question of what is better for making traditional moonshine - a columned or ordinary unit. Some advocate the preservation of vodka smell, others attribute the ultimate purification to the absolute. However, one fact cannot be denied - the prevalence of column-type aggregates is growing every year.

Last year was rich in the production of new column-type units, and therefore it became difficult to choose. Nevertheless, after long conflicts and discussions, it was still possible to select the 5 best models.

Schnapser XO4-M

The heart of the Schnapser XO4-M moonshine is a universal selection unit. Its exclusive design features make it possible to select the finished distillate not only by vapor, but also by liquid. Independent cooling on each stream forms a separate selection from each other.

The thick 2mm cover allows the column to stand upright even with a significant increase in height. Also, the moonshine still has a safety valve that provides a high level of protection if the pressure suddenly increases inside. In addition, it is possible to put a heating element. It can be used not only as the main, but also as an additional heating element. In the moonshine still Schnapser XO4-M there is also a drawer insulation, which increases the efficiency of the column and provides the device with an excellent design.

Thermometers are installed through silicone seals.

The needle valve allows you to set up a more accurate drop-by-drop selection of the outgoing product.
