Top 10 best manufacturers of moonshine

10 "Thermosphere"

Another Russian giant of the home brew market segment, which won a place in the top thanks to the production of distillates of any price level - from budget to premium. It is not known for certain how good things are at the “Thermosphere” at the moment, but according to indirect indicators the company is starting to lose ground. Against the background of universal product approval, this looks at least strange, since the audience is pleased with the quality of the finished beverage, the technical indicators of (almost all) models, and their nominal service life.

In the assortment of “Thermosphere” everyone will be able to find a device to their liking, be it an inexpensive distillation cube with a minimum of nozzles and systems, or a grand 30-liter container with a rectifier, dry steam and aromatic boxes.

The best representatives of the brand for home use:

• "Source Classic";
• Source Lux;
• "Geyser Suite";
• "Geyser Turbo".

9 "Robin"

The trademark of the Ural manufacturer of moonshine, quite comfortable feeling in the filled budget niche of the market. Contrary to all the canons of the genre, inexpensive devices show excellent results on the duration of operation, which novices and experienced users did not fail to report. Completion of models is no different from most competitors - however, it is rather difficult to come up with something new in moonshine making.

In general, buyers respect the "Robin" for the abundance of choice, the availability of products (in stores, on the Internet) and the ability to brew strong drinks of any kind for a long time without a single breakdown. The following models were recognized to be the most successful moonshine for home:

• Premium;
• "Bootlegger";
• “Malinovka Shchukin”;
• "Captain".

8 "Magarych"

The recognized manufacturer of mini breweries and moonshine simply could not get past the ranking of the best, conquering consumers with low prices and the original design of cubes with distillation columns (and a system of pipes). Even despite the complex design solutions (the possibility of adding additional circuits and knees to the systems), distillers from Magarych do not go beyond the occupied price niche, and this draws a good mass of consumers, winning leading positions in the tops of sales.

However, in practice (according to experienced users), some models of the brand have a small drawback, which is the short life span. Although the working volumes for this period of time are always more than exceed the cash costs for the purchase of the device, so you should not think about a vain investment.

The most qualitative and popular rulers of this brand are:

• "Magarych Mashkovsky";
• "Premium BKDR";
• "Magarych Narodny";
• "Economy".

7 Cuprum & Steel

The name of this brand speaks for itself - the moonshine here are made from a combination of reliable steel and rapidly cooled copper. The results are relevant: such a composition has a positive effect on both product quality and durability of using the models themselves. An additional incentive to purchase is the external splendor of the apparatus, which consists in strict features and visually correct forms.

Consumers speak positively about the products of Cuprum & Steel, however, they note some nuances of the machine’s inaccessibility and a slightly high cost (relative to the average market price). Otherwise, these are excellent instruments that can give you delicious drinks with minimal labor costs.

Popular models of the brand Cuprum & Steel:

• C & S Star;
• C & S Omega Plus;
• C & S Rocket;
• C & S Galaxy.

6 "Dr. Huber"

A young and potentially very talented manufacturer of distillers and distillation columns, trapped in the top due to the desire to fill the market with quality products. Indeed, in terms of the quality of the moonshine, this company has overtaken both the high-level “Schnappser” and the more modest domestic “sturdy creatures” represented by “Good Heat” and “Phoenix”. Customization of each individual distiller strikes aesthetics and accuracy, and the ability to upgrade a model for a home to a real brewery factory simply knocks users out of the rut.

However, all this magnificence has one drawback. The fact is that with external impeccability, the Dr. Guber devices require decent initial costs. It is this fact that holds back the onslaught of the popularity of this brand with the domestic buyer.

The most popular models of firms for the home:

• Aroma;
• "Midget 2017";
• "Column distiller";
• "Tornado".

5 Wein

As noted in the thematic ratings and expert essays, the entire line of the German company Wein is distinguished by rigid filtering methods, which has a positive effect on the quality of the finished product. In addition, each model is somehow universal - in addition to the distiller, they have either distillation columns, or sukhoparnik, or all together. Performance at peak reaches 7 liters per hour, which remains an unattainable height for competitive models.

Objectively, there are no disadvantages in the Wein product line - every user finds something for himself both in terms of advantages and in terms of disadvantages. The experts and the audience included the following moonshine series among the top home models:

• "PRO";
• "Germany";
• "Slav";
• "Komsomolets";
• Wein-3.

4 LUXSTAHL

Not so much is known about Luxstal, but the quality of their products speaks volumes about the professionalism of the German company. From the very first moonshine, she showed the highest class, overshadowing competitors with attractive prices and rich functionality. A key feature of the manufacturer was a gradual, smooth modernization of existing models, fueling interest in all new developments from the audience.

The users (for the most part) do not have any complaints regarding the operation of the LUXSTAHL moonshine, noting decent performance, durability and quality of the beverage produced. At the moment, the company is implementing the fourth model of the line - the rest are discontinued and sold only on the secondary market.
