WARNING:
Distilling alcohol at home, also known as moonshine making is illegal in many countries. But you can use these distillers for many other uses. Like water, vinegars, essential oils, and even engine fuel. It is the responsibility of the user to abide by the laws of your country. Mile Hi Distilling strongly discourages any unlawful use, and is not responsible for any damage or injury caused by misuse or unlawful use.

TTB Laws

Under Federal rules administered by TTB, it depends on how you use the still. You may not produce alcohol with these stills unless you qualify as a distilled spirits plant.  However, owning a small still and using it for other purposes is allowed. You should also check with your State and local authorities - their rules may differ.

A still is defined as apparatus capable of being used to separate ethyl alcohol from a mixture that contains alcohol. Small stills (with a cubic distilling capacity of a gallon or less) that are used for laboratory purposes or for distilling water or other non-alcoholic materials are exempt from our rules. If you buy a small still and use it to distill water or extract essential oils by steam or water extraction methods, you are not subject to TTB requirements. If you produce essential oils by a solvent method and you get alcohol as a by-product of your process, we consider that distilling. Even though you are using and recovering purchased alcohol, you are separating the alcohol from a mixture -distilling.

 



 


 

 

 

I would like to thank all my customers for the great business and we understand you’re very excited about your purchase and would like to receive as soon as possible.  But please try not to call or email asking about the status of the order. We spend about 8 hours a day looking up orders and that time would be better spent working on orders so we can ship sooner.

 

Thanks you for your understanding

  • Our boilers are made of 16 gauge stianless steel with reinforced banding.  Other distillers offering a boiler in less sturdy 18 gauge steel might be similar in appearance to ours but none of them will provide the strength and durability of a still handcrafted by Mile Hi.  Our heavier gauge stainless steel provides superior heat transfer – something you’ll appreciate once you start your first run.
  • We rigorously test every product we sell – that includes hotplates, yeasts, and essences.  If you see a product on our website you can rest assured that it has met or exceeded our own high standards.  And we are always on the lookout for any new product, either large or small, that will make the distilling process easier and more enjoyable for our customers.  After all distilling should be a pleasure not a pain.  

We have been building High quality moonshine stills for home distilling for 9 years . Our distillers will produce 95% the first time.

About my distillers:
Mile Hi Distilling is the longest standing small scale distiller manufacturer in the United States. We supply small scale distilleries all over the United States and other countries.
 
WARNING: Distilling alcohol at home, also known as moonshine making is illegal in many countries. But you can use these moonshine still for distilling many other uses. Like water, vinegars, essential oils, and even engine fuel. You can get a free ethanol fuel permit from the Federal government.It is the responsibility of the user to abide by the laws of your country. All information obtained about distilling from this website or by email or phone or otherwise is for informational purposes only. Buyers assumes any and all liability. Mile Hi Distilling strongly discourages any unlawful use, and is not responsible for any damage or injury caused by misuse or unlawful use.


My distillers are not factory made. I build these home distillers one at a time using 16-gauge super polish #7 tubing, with over 25 years of experience working with stainless tubing. My distillers for home distilling have a mirror type finishes. Other companies use a 180-grit which is much less expensive. I believe my customer should get only the best alcohol stills, so at Mile Hi Distilling, we special order the #7 buff tubing, straight from the mill.

No other company can offer this quality. I guarantee it."

All reflux distillers for home distilling are made with solar power. Mile Hi Distilling is the actual originator of the two-piece tower. Truly a Mile Hi Distilling innovation. Also we are the first and only company to sell milk can moonshine distillers.

The new Milk Can stills come with:

  • Copper packing or raschig rings
  • Digital thermometer with both Fahrenheit(°F) and Celsius(°C)
  • Chemical tolerant hoses
  • Stainless steel hose clamps
  • Male and female hose fittings
  • Quick-release connector
  • Stainless steel screen
  • O-ring gaskets
  • Pure gum rubber bung

 All milk cans now come with domed lids. Having a domed lid will help channel the vapors up to the tower, making the still run more efficiently.

 
The new premium milk cans have a large 8”opening for easy filling and cleaning. Also the lids clamp down and have a silicone gasket that gives you a great leak-proof seal. We used to build boilers out of stainless steel pails, but it only left a 2” opening to fill and clean. I thought this was very inefficient, and the only way to clean the boiler was to use a chain. So, after working with the manufacture for two years, we finally got the milk cans perfected for distillers.  
 
Mile Hi has also come out with a new 2” and a 3” diameter reflux towers. Both designs have proven to be much more effective than having 2 crossed cooling tubes at the top of the tower and also are very user-friendly. For about 5 years, we made the reflux towers with two ½” tubes that went straight through the tower near the top. This design was very simple and easy to manufacture, but it was not very efficient. I decided that it was not good enough for my customers and they deserve better. The new towers take more time and material to manufacture, but are definitely more effective and efficient.
