8 Gallon Still with 2 Inch Dual Purpose Tower
This unit has a lead time of 1-2 weeks from date of order.
This 8 Gallon Still with 2 Inch Dual Purpose Tower is our most popular still. Its boiler size makes it easy to run up to 6.5-7 gallons of wash at a time. The tower versatility allows for both Pot or reflux distilling. The dual-purpose still is perfect for beginners to seasoned distillers.
Stock tower comes with a natural gum rubber bung and a digital thermometer. We offer a Stainless Steel upgrade for 69.99 that adds a 2.5" dial thermometer as a replacement for the digital thermometer that simply clamps on top of tower. The upgrade has to be ordered with distiller so we can weld the extra tri-clamp fitting on top of tower.
The 8 Gallon milk can will come with 2" tri-clamp fitting for internal heating element and half-inch NPT for thermometer on milk can. Includes cap and plug so you can cap off ports and use gas burner or hot plate.
Our 110 volt still controller is a perfect match for this still

I am truly impressed with the quality of the 8 gallon dual purpose tower in stainless steel. The welds are impeccable. The whole tower is simple to put together. The tri-clamp system could not be easier to use and they are extremely secure, with not leaks ever detected. They are friendly on the phone and have happily answered all of my questions. When I first got the unit I did observe a slight tilt to the tower. This was purely cosmetic and would not have affected the operation. I notified Mile-Hi and they immediately sent out a replacement part. Top notch business to deal with and I would buy from them again.

You know it’s built when you get the box with holes in the side. Top of box was crushed , it looked as if the delivery driver didn’t slowdown upon delivery. When the box was opened, there in all the spot light was a work of art. Not a scratch on it. Almost to pretty to use. Almost. My second still from them and even had the parts shipped to convert my mighty mini to a thumper. Do not hesitate. Worth every penny

I can't say enough good things about MHD customer service, high quality, construction, and overall value. Shipping was even quick too! This is my first still and I had a lot of questions. Evan was great at communicating, responding, and making sure I had what I needed. When I first opened the box I noticed right away how heavy it was and all the perfect welds. You can tell they love what they do with the level of detail and craftsmanship that is put in. I will be a MHD customer for life...if you're considering one of their stills, stop, buy it, and know that the Mile Hi team will take care of you!

Haven't used it yet but it's exactly as described. Only reason why I'm giving it 3 stars is the way it was packed and handled. The towers spout was sticking out from the side of the box and the box had many holes in it maybe wrap the tower in bubble wrap to prevent that from happening in the future.

Great product. Very well constructed with heavy gauge stainless. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I bought a 2000 watt electric element to go with it and it works very well.

High quality still, I use a 110 volt 2200w stainless steel water heater element without a controller. It hits operating temp in about an hour. Once it starts producing the temp creep is perfect, no need for a controller!!
I can use the still in any room with a electrical outlet, I use a large ceramic floor tile to insulate the still from the floor.
I want to upgrade to the 16 gallon with 3" torpedo reflux, but I'm hesitant because the 8 gallon works so well with the heating element!!!

Great product. Great quality. I also got the upgrade electric heater. So easy it practically runs itself. I achieved 184 proof on my first attempt. I'm glad I paid a little more and bought the best. Would recommend to anyone.
