Description

16 Gallon with 3 Inch Diameter Torpedo Pro

This unit has a lead time of 2 months from date of order. All other boiler sizes are available and have a faster lead time. We apologize for the inconvenience. Message dated 1/23/2024.

A high quality 16 Gallon with 3 Inch Diameter Torpedo Pro still includes 3″ sight glass. You can use this sight glass as an infusion chamber or gin basket to hold botanicals. You can also clamp in sight glass below the reflux cold finger condenser to watch the reflux action. An awesome way to infuse the vapor to get a boost of flavor in the distillate.  Run a apple brandy and add some fresh apples and cinnamon sticks to the sight glass to infuse the vapor with the taste of apple pie moonshine or add cinnamon sticks, herbs, and spices to make a spiced whiskey. Be creative and make your own infusions.
This Torpedo Pro still will produce 180 to 190 proof moonshine as a reflux still and will also run as a pot still to carry over flavor with about 120 proof
For reflux it is as easy as running water to both reflux condenser and final product condenser. Pack the column with rings and copper mesh and your running a reflux alcohol still or run as a pot still by running water to just the final product condenser on the arm and inserting one roll of copper in the tower.

    16 Gallon with 3 Inch Diameter Torpedo Pro: Great package. Allows 5 gallon to 15 gallon (if you are careful) batches. Recommend 2 heating elements (110v) with separate controllers for each. Yes, more money, but better temp control and worth it.

    I just received my still, WOW. It was larger and stronger than I imagined, the quality of work is great, the packaging was even impressive. Thanks Evan for your help Barry S. Tupelo Ms

    I just received our 16 gal 3 in Torpedo Pro and all I can say is…dude, the quality is second to NONE! I was seriously blown away at how well it is made. If you watch the videos you hear them talk about how good the welds are and that all welds are done in house, well, I’m unpacking the still and laying all the parts out. As I unwrapped each piece I kept wondering “what welds?” I didn’t see any until I had assembled it and the light caught it just right, they’re tiny but damn are they perfect! I’m telling you, those welders are straight up professionals and worth every penny they are paid. Ok, ok, enough drooling over the still i know.
    If you decide on Mile High still, I promise, you will not be disappointed. The quality is amazing! This week I am going to order a 3 gal milk jug also and a few other parts to go with it. Eventually I plan on getting the 135 gal jug and a 6 in 6 glass tower.

    Thank you very much, thank God we still have people that believe in American made quality!!! When I can come to Colorado I am going to buy you and your welders a drink!

    Well I got everything a couple weeks ago. I waited until I ran it to make a review. All Ive got to say is WOW!!! VERY well built. VERY heavy components. The boiler is unreal. Very nice. Evan is the man. Very helpful and will bend over backwards for you. I halfassed the first sacrificial run and it still came out 180 proof. I will be adding some more components later. The modular design allows that. Very nice. I looked and researched for two years before I put my money down and I do not regret it in slightest. Very happy customer. Thanks mile hi

    I stopped in their shop while I was on vacation in the area and I was given a tour around their facility and shown their WIP (Work in Progress) area, and I can say that the quality and care that they put into every build was apparent. The group that works on these showed a real interest in their work and were happy to shop me what they were working on.
    I placed my order last week, and its already here! The quality of the welds is amazing, the packaging was sufficient to get everything here and not be broken, very happy with everything so far!
    When fully assembled this beast is about 6 feet tall, I cannot wait to fire it up!

    Be prepared! This is massive, it stands over 6 ft tall. when are still arrived I was out of town for work but my partner in crime set it up and took pictures to brag. The pictures do not do justice to this beautiful work of art. You can tell the quality just by holding it in your hands. It’s not cheap aluminium masquerading as stainless steel. The guys at Mile High distilling are true artisans. We haven’t even ran anything through the still yet and already I can tell you with complete confidence this is worth the money.

    This is one quality piece. Weld look amazing. It is heavy duty for the thickness of the metal everything comes with the still. Plenty of copper mesh two bags of rings. Clamps feel good when tighten. Over I am very please with my purchase. Great company to ask questions never had to wait for a reply.

    This is the only still you’ll ever need. The 3″ column eliminates the endless hours of sitting with the still and the 16 gallon boiler makes for efficient runs. This still is a workhorse and not for the occasional distiller, it’s built to be used hard and will last for several lifetimes due to the quality materials and build. I purchased the copper option and it is a true classic. While it may not add anything to the flavor of the distillate, in your mind it does and that’s all that matters. Beware that to keep that classic look it’s going to take copper cleaner and elbow grease. Otherwise, it will take on the dark patina of a well used still. I’m well satisfied with this still and the service of Mile Hi Distilling, worth the price paid.

  9. Gary Gorton (verified owner)

    It is apparent that these guys take great pride in their work. This product is absolutely incredible. Truly expert craftsmanship, quality materials, built to last a lifetime. Moreover, their customer service is second-to-none. They are experts in their field and happily share their knowledge with ease.

    I will ALWAYS pay a little extra for quality and service. Here, I found both (and didn’t really pay much extra).

  10. Mike Conery (verified owner)

    We received the still in an amazingly short amount of time and when we unboxed it we were stunned at the beautiful workmanship and exceptionally high quality materials! Thank you so much for the great service and product and we are very excited to use it tomorrow!

    First it arrived sooner than expected. I agree with another view – the thing is tall, so tall its hard to read the thermometer on top (wish I could point it down a little bit. However, the workmanship is top notch and everything fits like a glove.

    I waited until I had 2 runs on it before writing this review. They were about 8 gallon runs to get the hang of it. Only using the second condenser, it started off about 75% – I have not run it in reflux mode yet.

    Overall, I am very happy with the product and Mile Hi.
