I bought this boiler because I did not like the old style as they leaked with a tall tower rocking from who knows why. I used the old one with a hot plate and didn’t really like that either. The new one with a 2,000 watt heater is fantastic. Super fast heating with no loss of vapor. I am a happy customer.

A high quality product!! Order arrived within a few days. The 1/2″ NPT fitting works great for putting a thermocouple probe into (using a reducer and 1/8″ NPT to compression fitting”

I had bought one of the 8 gallon boilers about 6 years ago and since then I have run many gallons of shine through it with 2 inch diameter short columns all the way up to 40 inches long columns. At the time I got mine I hadn’t come back to write a review but since I frequent Milehi I felt compelled to write and say, their quality is top notch and a still from these people will serve you for many years.
I measure all other stills against Milehi and Milehi wins all the time, great products.

I’ve come to expect high quality stuff from MHD. I had intended to build my project from the ground up, but quickly came to the conclusion that the boiler was going to be tough to do well. So I invested in the 8 gallon boiler. Wow! That’s what friends say.
Don’t forget to get the threaded thermometer. Fits perfectly in the threaded 1/2″ npt port.

The quality of MileHigh products is amazing. This boiler is heavy duty and well constructed. The 2000 watt element heats this up in no time. MileHigh delivers every time!

I have been using the mighty mini for a few years and was looking to increase my throughput, but did not want to replace much of my equipment. This boiler did the trick. Using all the same equipment from the 3-gallon boiler, I was able to just switch out the boiler and put more “juice in the tank” cutting my time in almost half.
As with many of the other reviewers, I too use the 2k electric element. It takes significantly longer to heat up than the mighty mini, but it is almost 3x the volume. It still doesn’t take long with the element over the use of a hot plate, so I would definitely recommend getting those if you do not already. The best part, it will fit all your boilers.
So, if you are on the fence about getting this or any milk can offered at Mile Hi, I would recommend that you just go for it as you can always upgrade and adjust later as these are all interchangeable parts.

Ah, finally… Upgraded to the size I should have bought in the first place.
The 3 gallon was great, but doing two runs accross two days just to get enough to last long enough without feeling like i’m distilling all the time made me need to go bigger.
The 8 gallon is great, all done in one go, same worksmanship, not too big to handle. It just seems like many things are easier to do with this still that I can’t explain. Thanks again Mile Hi.

I upgraded from the 3 gallon kettle and couldn’t be happier. I should have started with this kettle as it is perfect for a 6 gal fermentation tank, I can do it in one run instead of two. Going to turn the 3 gal into a small pot still. Quality is superb, customer service at Mile Hi is outstanding. You will never regret buying from Mile Hi.
