1 went from a 13 gallon jacketed boiler to Mile High’s 26 gallon for more capacity am I was very impressed how easy it was to run. Tank is very heavy built and should last a lifetime. Thinking maybe I should try the 53 next ?
I love this thing!
This past week was the first time using my new 26-gallon boiler, and it worked awsome.
Well worth the money.
Very impressed with this 26 gallon milk can, top quality and will take the place of my current 16 gallon milk can.
Also bought the additional 5500 watt 220 v heating element to assist my current 5500 watt 220 v heater controler.
Keep up your good work Mile Hi Stills ??
Well worth the money no dents fast shipping. now I’m looking at getting a flute column for it still got some lime in the water?
I bought the 13 gallon still two years ago and have to say I am EXTREMELY happy with it. But then I needed a bigger can in order to purify more water. First, it came exceptionally well packaged and did not have any dents or nicks on the stainless steel can. The welds are very clean and well done and have not shown any wear and tear despite the constant use. The can itself is made of very thick steel and so far shows no signs of giving up on me.
I hooked up this unit with one 5500W heating element (which at 110V gives ~1300W at 11A). If one puts 10-11 Gal of liquid in the can, this will heat it up to boiling in 3hrs. When filled to 22 gal it takes about 5hrs. I do not have a 220V outlet here, so I put high efficiency burner under it and at mild flame I am now able to reach 85F at the top of the column in approximately 2hrs with full can. I then cut off the flame and continue the heating with the electric element only.
All in all I am very pleased with this unit. Here are some things you may want to consider when buying it:
Pros: Excellent for big quantity batches or for stripping run (IF you are distilling alcohol); easy to store; easy to clean; easy to operate and maintain; affordable; sturdy and durable; can be used with electric (two 2″ adapters) or gas heating (or both); it comes with variety dome sizes (make sure to say which one you need during checkout).
Cons: not a con really but a word of caution – the unit is large in diameter and you must make sure your condenser is long enough to reach outside the body.
