COMPLETING THE ALCOHOL STILL

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Open your box.

2. Place pot on a table with temperature gage towards left hand side.

3. Take the smallest piece of the thumper with drain plug facing towards you and put to the right of the pot.

4. Take the worm which is attached to coil and put to the right of the thumper.

5. Take the cap and insert it to the top of the pot, the bottom of the cap connects by spinning the spin fittings to the left side of the thumper.

A) The seam on the top of cap should interlock with seam of the back of the pot.

6. When connecting the spin fitting, if they should leak, use thread locking tape or wheat paste. The unit also comes with an adapter piece which is copper, and it connects to the top of right hand side of the thumper and goes to the worm spin fittings accordingly.

7. Congratulations! You have successfully assembled your Moonshine Still but you still need to know how to use it.

8. You need a burner or any source of flame, you could also have a submerged heating element. Once you have a burner and propane you need some MASH. Mash is what you put in the still to get liquor.

9. MASH= Fermented materials that can range anywhere between 1% to 35% ABV (Alcohol By Volume). The higher the ABV, the more alcohol you will be able to pull out. The goal is to take out as much alcohol out of the mash with your Moonshine Still.

VISIT: WWW.MASH.RECIPES FOR SOME EASY MOONSHINE RECIPES TO GET STARTED.

You are going to need a Hydrometer, which measures the alcohol content of the Mash, ‘cause it’s always nice to know what your alcohol is in the beginning and the end of the process. There are two different types of Hydrometers, one to use for low proof (of Mash) and one for high proof. Visit our accessory page to purchase more items from us.

10. Strain Mash for any hard materials and pour into pot. You are going to need to seal the cap of the pot with “old school” Wheat Paste or Black Electrical Tape, make sure to seal the unit well. The thumper is a double purification unit, it is not a necessity. We want you to run the Thumper dry (meaning, do not add anything in it) until you know what you are doing. All our units are interchangeable, which means you can take the Thumper out and run it directly from the pot to the worm with the coil.

11. Your Worm, the one with the coil, needs constant ow of cool water (we recommend continuously filling it with ice) you can also get an upgraded Thumper and Worm Kit with any of our units which will give you 2 hoses to run water in and out.

12. Put a flame underneath the Pot until the unit starts to “work”; as soon as the Worm is dripping product, write the temperature down then add 20 degrees to it, “That is your Operating Range”. Always keep still within this range to make sure H2O does not go into your product.

13. Your Thumper will fill up with Liquid and eventually stop the distillation process. You will need to disregard the Thumper’s content or save and re-run in your next batch.

14. Do Not just go and start drinking what comes out of the unit. Please do the appropriate amount of research to make sure you disregard the appropriate amount of your distillate before drinking.  

NOW YOU KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY USE YOUR NEW MOONSHINE STILL.

Our units can be upgraded with an ez seal cap on the pot as well as a 4 inch port on the thumper.  These two add ons are optional and not mandatory.  These two add ons make your unit more efficient and effective.  The easy seal cap makes it so you don’t need to apply wheat or flour paste on the pot to seal it every time.  You wont need to clean up any messy paste because you will have a food safe silicone gasket and a stainless steel butterfly clamp and 4 inch stainless ferrule added on the top of your pot.  This way you can seal your unit for the distillation process by a clamping system instead of the old school paste method.  Sealing it this way is highly efficient.  You can also add on the 4 inch port on the thumper as well.  It’s the same set up, 4 inch tri clamp, 4 inch gasket, 4 inch stainless ferrule and 4 inch stainless cap but this time it’s installed on the top of the thumper so you can infuse different flavors into your product.  Having the 4 inch port added on to the thumper also makes it a lot easier to clean the thumper when you decide to run different flavors through the distiller.  If you see the words “top end” model on any of our websites, that is the model with the ez seal cap and 4 inch port on the thumper.  If you want to make sure your order has these add ons or any other custom requests please call 1-502-337-3944 and press 1.  We also accept text messages on this line so please text us about our products and communicate to us what we can build for you.
