Having acquired the skills of home brewing, you can choose an apparatus more thoughtfully. You can choose a good moonshine still by answering a few questions:

What drinks do you want to get:
Moonshine stills can be divided into 2 types:
- distillers - the simplest devices;
- column-type moonshine still (rectifiers).
The distiller produces a drink that has preserved the taste of raw materials - chacha, absinthe, rum, gin. The high degree is achieved by several distillations.
The distillation columns produce high-quality alcohol at the exit, without impurities and odor. The second distillation will give alcohol with a strength of 90-95%.
