Description
26 Gallon Stainless 4 Inch Diameter Mile Hi Flute – 6 Sections
This unit has a lead time of 2-4 weeks from date of order.
26 Gallon Stainless 4 Inch Diameter Mile Hi Flute – 6 Sections Alcohol Still has a 4″ diameter stainless column and 3″ Sight glass allows you to see all the action. This column includes 6 stainless sections with copper perforated plates and down comers for each section. This completely modular still allows you to run 3,4,6,8 sections to give you as much or as little reflux as you desire. Complete with shotgun condenser, dephlegmator, and a parrot to see proof and percentage of alcohol real time throughout the run.
The sectional design allows the distiller to remove copper plates and run as a stripping still or pot still to carry over flavor. Or add all plates and more sections to run high percentage 190 proof for vodkas. You can easily add a 360 degree sight glass with screened gasket to be used as a gin basket or an infusion chamber. Infuse the vapor with flavor for a gin, or spiced whiskey or more flavor in a brandy. Make infused vodkas. This still as total versatility.
26 Gallon Milk Can Boiler has a 8″ rolled top for easy cleaning, 2″ fill port on top, 1/2″ coupling on the side for a thermometer, two of the 2″ ports for heating elements and a drain. One 220V 5500 watt heating element will be sufficient but if you want to improve the initial heat up time then you have the option to add another heating element. There are two of the 2″ ports for heating elements on the Mile Hi Distilling 26 gallon boilers.
All sections are made of stainless and each section comes apart for easy cleaning. Sight glass, dephlegmator, shotgun condenser and parrot are made of durable easy to clean stainless.

I have had this still working for 3 years in my distillery until we upgraded to a larger still from Mile High. It is a total workhorse. at 200-300 cases a year, we put it to task and it never once disappointed. If you are looking for a high quality still that is consistent in its performance, durable as all get out and inexpensive, this is that still.
I just received my flute and wow! Welds are beautiful. Everything is straight and square. Verry difficult with multiple connections. They know their stuff. I’ll be a customer for life. Very close to art!
What a work of art that this unit is and fully functional at the same time. There is nothing about this unit that is not quality from the boiler all the way to the parrot. The welds – beautiful! System is big but easy to set up. Do yourself a favor and pick up a heat controller. Makes the whole process more simple as long as you go slow and remember, patience is a virtue.
I just received my new mile hi flute today 9-19-14 and I couldn’t be happier! This thing is a work of art with an exceptional level of quality and attention to detail.
My only complaint if I need to provide one is that the description of the product fails to mention that a 3″ thermometer is provided with the flute. I bought two thinking I needed one for the flute and one for the boiler. No worries, now I have an extra in case I break one.
