A new improved version of the classic moonshine still. Familiar simplicity and quality in a new interpretation. So, what is left in the device from the good old Slavyanka?

1. Food grade stainless steel 2mm thick;
2. A simple “cube-dry steamer-refrigerator” system;
3. High quality assembly and processing;
4. Durable and accurate bimetallic thermometer;
5. Compatible with all types of stoves.

And of course, choosing a suitable distillation volume.

The price has not changed, but a water seal has been added to the basic package- with it you can use the distillation cube as a fermentation tank!

Moonshine still Slavyanka Premium 2019

So what are the advantages of the new Slavyanka Premium?

Refrigerator increased by 30%

The updated "Slavyanka Premium" allows you to condense all the alcohol at the outlet. The refrigerator of the moonshine still is expanded to 7.5 cm with a standard height of 15 cm. This made it possible to increase the surface area by 30%, and accordingly, the efficiency increased.

Conical still with wide neck

The Slavyanka Premium distiller is attached to the distillation cube through a round flat flange, as in the old version. But now the shape of the tank has changed - in the upper part it has become conical. This design more efficiently collects alcohol vapors in the upper part of the cube and directs them to the distiller.

Screwing the distiller to the still and washing the distillation container is just as simple. The diameter of the cube neck has not changed - 110 mm. The hand fits freely into such a wide hole.

Wide connecting tubes

The diameter of the connecting tubes of the device has been increased to 16 mm. This reduces the likelihood of clogging the apparatus during distillation.

A release valve provides additional safety during distillation. Even if something goes wrong, the valve releases excess pressure!

Smooth tilt of the drawer

The drawer of the apparatus (the metal tube connecting the flange of the cube and the steam chamber) has become not just wider - it is now semicircular.

That is, all the alcohol vapors that condense in the drawer will return by gravity to the distillation cube. This means that the loss of absolute alcohol during distillation will be noticeably reduced.

Collapsible steam tank with tap

In the first version of Slavyanka, it was impossible to drain the fusel during distillation. Now there is a convenient faucet for this.

And the steamer “Slavyanka Premium 2019” itself is now collapsible. You can unscrew its lid and use the steamer as an aroma, adding dried fruits or spices to the distillation circuit. This way you will give your drink a unique taste without additional distillation - right during distillation.

Tap on tank

A distillation cube with a tap for draining stillage is already standard. If there is none, you will have to remove the heavy tank from the stove after waiting for it to cool down.

A tank with the “right” tap allows you to drain the stillage immediately after distillation, without removing the apparatus from the stove. The tap of the new “Slavyanka” is curved - it directs the mash directly down: into a basin or bucket, from where you can easily pour out the “working off”.

The Slavyanka moonshine still is deservedly in high demand among people who make alcoholic beverages at home. First of all, the buyer is attracted by the price of the equipment - only 7,000 rubles. The main components of “Slavyanka” are made of high-quality steel, used in the food industry and medicine. This guarantees not only the durability of the equipment, but also its safety. In order for the buyer to figure out whether the Slavyanka unit is suitable for him, it is necessary to familiarize himself with the key characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of this moonshine still.

The main characteristics of a home distiller include:

• capacity of the distillation cube;
• performance;
• steel thickness;
• length and location of the coil;
• presence of additional elements.

The moonshine still of the described brand is offered to the buyer with a distillation cube, the capacity of which can be chosen: 12; 15; 20; 25; 30 liters.

The price of the unit depends on the volume of the container. The main advantage of the equipment is considered to be a good distillation speed of moonshine, amounting to three liters per hour.

The distillation cube of the equipment has an optimal wall thickness of two millimeters. Due to this parameter, the mash does not burn to them in the distillation container and heats up evenly. The coil is characterized by a vertical position, which ensures complete circulation of condensate and protection from contamination of the refrigerator by mash particles.

The manufacturer of “Slavyanka” made sure that the buyer purchased a fully equipped unit at an affordable price, allowing him to produce alcohol without much effort and expense.

It comes with the following:

• distillation cube;
• steamer with refrigerator;
• sealants for the distillation cube;
• several PVC pipes;
• thermometer;
• instructions.

To understand the operating principle of the Slavyanka, you need to focus on the technical characteristics of its main components.

Alembic

The buyer chooses the capacity of the distillation cube depending on the planned volume of homemade alcohol production. It should be taken into account that the effective volume of the device is two to five liters less than what is stated in the technical specifications.

The diameter of the neck of the distillation cube does not exceed 7.5 centimeters, so the moonshiner will have to fill the cube with mash using a plastic funnel. The insufficient width of the neck also complicates the process of washing and cleaning the container.

The distillation cube is equipped with convenient handles for carrying.

Sukhoparnik

This is an integral component of a high-quality moonshine device, and in “Slavyanka” the part is characterized by a cylindrical shape. The capacity of the steamer is one liter. It has a collapsible design, which allows not only to accumulate fusel oils, but also to use it as a container for aromatic additives. The Slavyanka dry steamer is easy to clean.

Fridge

The still has a capacity of 12 liters and the cooler has five turns, a 6mm diameter and a total length of 1.2 metres. Due to these characteristics, the “Slavyanka” has excellent flowability. The mash steam quickly cools, and the temperature of its condensate drops to 36 degrees. Both the refrigerator and the steam chamber of the alcohol still are sealed, making the unit safe to use.

Connecting elements

The equipment tubes have a diameter of six millimeters, which ensures their good permeability. But the main disadvantage of the connecting elements is their low reliability, explained by the fact that the refrigerator is located at a distance of more than 30 centimeters from the axis of the tank. This provokes an increased load on the elements of the distiller. Due to this feature, “Slavyanka” has a limited service life when it is actively used in moonshine brewing.

The advantage of the equipment is the ability to equip it with additional devices that improve the quality of the resulting moonshine. For example, a Panchenkov nozzle and a divertor on a faucet.

The production of high-quality homemade alcohol is becoming a good tradition for many Russians. At the same time, progressive technologies and industrially produced equipment have recently been used to produce excellent alcoholic beverages. A place of honor in this segment is occupied by the Slavyanka Premium moonshine still. The assembly is carried out by the PC Wayne production company.

Right choice

In domestic conditions, this unit is optimal in terms of operational parameters. It also has a pleasant appearance, combined with high-quality performance. High-alloy stainless steel 12Х18Н10Т is used for the main structural elements. A similar material, according to the official website, is used for food industry products and in medicine.

Slavyanka Premium 20 liters

Order the Slavyanka moonshine still and as a result you will receive a complete set for preparing homemade strong drinks:

• distillation cube, the volume of which, depending on the model, is 30, 20, 14 or 12 l;
• vertically installed steam tank with cooler;
• hermetic seals for the cube made from food-grade materials;
• a pair of transparent PVC tubes for draining liquid;
• bimetallic thermometer;
• printed instructions for users.

Equipment Slavyanka Premium

As customer reviews indicate, the official manufacturer often offers an additional set of gifts for the main device:

• a reliable alcohol meter for measuring the strength of the finished product, having an interval of 0-96º;
• packaging of yeast intended exclusively for the preparation of alcohol;
• books with the best home recipes.

Characteristics of household equipment

Russian statistics claim that one out of three bottles of vodka or other alcohol offered in stores is a surrogate. In order not to fall for such a “scam” from unscrupulous sellers, which can result not only in a terrible hangover, but also in a trip to the hospital, we recommend using modern equipment for moonshine brewing.

The Slavyanka Premium moonshine still produces an exceptionally pure, environmentally friendly product that you can prepare yourself. The cleaning system is capable of completely eliminating the penetration of negative fusel oils and aggressive heavy impurities into the finished liquid at the finishing stage.

The advantages of the design include the following parameters:

Collapsible steamer

The presence of this unit expands the capabilities of users, since in addition to the usual use of the device as a distiller, the steamer allows the output to be obtained liquid with an original color, taste and aroma. To achieve the desired result, ingredients such as dried fruits, lemon or orange zest, and honeycomb are placed inside it.

The steamer is collapsible - it’s convenient to store spices and wash it out after distillation

Fusel oils settle at the bottom of the steam tank. With its collapsible design, it is now easy to clean.

No oil drain is used

The design of the steam tank is such that it does not require the removal of harmful products by draining them through a tap. All harmful components are returned back to the cube, without ensuring minimal contact of the pure product with undesirable impurities. Using this block, users will be able to prepare absinthe, gin, grappa, Calvados, etc. at home.

Wide neck cube

Taking as a basis reviews of previous designs of moonshine stills from the PC Wayne plant, the engineers tried to expand the neck of the main container with mash. The machine is now easy to clean, removing unwanted residues from previous distillations that can impart unpleasant odors to the finished product.

Your hand can fit freely into the neck of the distillation cube - now it has become more convenient to wash it

Increased bottom thickness

To make the bottom for the Slavyanki Premium moonshine still, a double thickness of the sheet was used - 2 mm, while the final weight increased slightly. The solution reduced the likelihood of mash burning during heating, even at initial high temperatures. Thermal deformation of the material from use on gas, electric or inverter heaters is excluded.

The thickness of the bottom has been increased for stability, better temperature retention and to prevent the product from burning

With a thickened bottom, the tank will be stable even on a ceramic surface, while the inside has a non-stick coating.

Manufacturers offer several types of products:

• twelve-liter - weight 4.5 kg, price 5990 rubles;
• fourteen liter - weight 5 kg, price 6590 rubles;
• twenty-liter - weight 6 kg, price 7590 rubles;
• thirty-liter - weight 6.5 kg, price 8590 rubles.

Layout advantages

In previous manufacturing options, the steam tank was not collapsible, and therefore did not have the current advantages, one of which is obtaining a cleaner finished liquid. Under current conditions, there is no need for additional re-purification of the distillate. Light ethyl alcohol is sent to the refrigerator. The convenient removable cover is quickly removed and returned to its place.

The dimensions of the coil increased to one meter. This length ensures the output of cold moonshine, ready for use. Even with increased performance, the outlet produces a cool liquid.

The stainless steel cube is reliably sealed. High-quality sealing of joints protects against mass leaks and ruptures. This design is absolutely safe for domestic use in any apartment or house. The tightness of the structure blocks the spread of unwanted odors in the room.

The main working units are connected to each other by pipes of increased diameter. Unlike competitors, when buying a Slavyanka Premium moonshine still in an online store, you can be sure that the pipes will not clog. This is facilitated by their increased diameter, unlike their analogues.

The advantage is the compact overall dimensions. The popular model does not exceed 62 cm in height after all components are fully assembled. All parts are easily separated from each other, which allows you to transport the device to any convenient place, for example, to a country house or to a country house. The packaged unit can easily fit in the trunk of any car.

Due to the wide inlet, the diameter of which is 110 mm, the container is easier to clean. There are no hard-to-reach areas left inside that, during breaks between uses, will serve as a place for germs to accumulate due to poor cleaning.

The innovative shape of the refrigerator not only allows the product to cool down, but also prevents fusel oils from “smearing” inside. Therefore, it is necessary to give preference to vertical forms of cooling containers.

How to improve the quality of moonshine

The following accessories will help improve the ease of use of Slavyanka and the quality of the finished product:

• Panchenkov nozzle. The use of this stainless steel mesh filter in conjunction with a moonshine still improves the quality of alcohol. It is placed directly into the steamer.

• Diverter for faucet. By installing such an adapter on a cold water tap, the comfort of connecting the cooling system will increase.

• Bentonite. Relevant for cleaning mash from fermentation products. Once in the working mixture, it precipitates along with the absorbed residual fermentation products.

The shape and area of ​​the bottom are designed to heat the mass on one burner.

VIDEO: The most effective method for cleaning moonshine

Despite the premium prefix, Slavyanka is a fairly budget moonshine still with one collapsible steam chamber, which is produced in Kirov at the Wayne plant (Vayne 4, a newcomer - these are all their devices). There are a lot of reviews about his work on the Internet, but the opinions are so different that we decided to collect all the information in one place. That is here.

We are not distributors of this manufacturer's products, so it makes no sense for us to post false opinions and reviews. There are many sites on the Internet that sell left-hand moonshine stills under the Slavyanki premium brand. We will share with you links to original products from the manufacturer so that you do not make a mistake with the supplier.

Characteristics and prices of Slavyanka premium from the manufacturer.

The cost of a distiller depends on the volume of the distillation cube. Wayne offers the following options:

• With a 14-liter tank - 5,990 rubles.
• With a 20 liter tank -6,490 rub.
• With a 30-liter tank - RUB 7,490.

Usually 14 liters is not enough ( less than 2 liters of moonshine, strength 40%), so we recommend that you take at least 20 liters.

The maximum still is suitable for seasoned moonshiners who distill a lot, often and quickly.

The device belongs more to the budget segment than to the middle one. It’s completely unclear what the premium prefix has to do with it, because the unit doesn’t fit into the elite segment.

Reviews and popular disadvantages of Slavyanka Premium

You can work with the unit. If all basic requirements are met, you get a decent moonshine still, which after two distillations will make you an excellent alcoholic drink.

But there are a number of disadvantages that are definitely worth mentioning. All reviews were collected from open sources:

The device is equipped with a collapsible steam chamber.

• There is no tap for draining stillage (mash after distillation). That is, you will have to unwind the entire structure in order to then turn the cube over and pour out its contents. The hole is located in the center, it is quite difficult to pour out the liquid, the mash will splash from side to side.
• The handles are thin and without pads, you can get burned. If you need to move the apparatus during distillation, you will need to take special mittens or a towel to avoid getting burned.
• The quality of the cube is extremely low. Despite the 2 mm stainless steel, many complain about the bent bottom and weak welding. It is for this reason that many distillers are returned to the manufacturer under a first-year warranty.

The manufacturer saved as much as possible on all the comfortable accessories, so the price and quality of the device turned out to be quite low.

I wouldn’t directly scold Slavyanka, but I still want to work on a higher-quality distiller.

Try not to screw it up and it’s better to overpay a little money for delivery from original supplier than risk buying from an unknown seller. The choice is quite large, so look for whoever is closest to you and place an order.

An interesting video review has been prepared by the channel Russian Haze. The author fully described the equipment of the Slavyanka, and also carried out a double distillation of the distillate right before our eyes. Everything is very transparent, so you can safely familiarize yourself with the capabilities of this device.

Among the most popular systems for preparing strong drinks in a home, apartment, or cottage is the Slavyanka moonshine still, produced by the Vane company from Kirov, well-known in Russia and neighboring countries.

This device is easy to use. The customer receives it ready for work - just assemble it and you can start distilling. Included:

• distillation cube for 12 or 20 liters with a neck of 8.5 cm;
• bimetallic thermometer located on the distillation cube;
• non-separable steam tank as standard without a tap for draining reflux, with the option to order with a tap;
• flow refrigerator;
• hose - 5 m for water supply/discharge to the refrigerator, silicone gaskets and clamps included.

The steamer and refrigerator are connected using fittings and a metal tube.

Strengths:

1. Food grade stainless steel.
2. Acceptable price. For Slavyanka 12 l – 5200 rub., 20 l – 6200 rub. But if you order this model with a collapsible steamer, add another 300 rubles.
3. Distillation speed is up to 2 liters per hour.

Flaws:

1. Thin steel – 1 mm. It is not suitable for distilling thick wort, since burning cannot be avoided. Avoid using this cube on ceramic surfaces as it may warp the metal. Not suitable for induction! (see: )
2. A non-separable steam tank without a tap for draining phlegm as standard. It is a closed stainless steel cylinder. It is impossible to predict how much reflux will accumulate during distillation, and its release into the finished product can ruin all purification efforts.
3. The neck is a bit narrow for washing and cleaning the cube.
4. Thin transition tubes from the cube to the steamer and to the refrigerator, which threatens accidental blockage when foam is released.

Slavyanka Premium

Wein engineers did a good job on this device, taking into account the wishes and comments of the owners of the first version of Slavyanka. The result was a device with the following characteristics:

• distillation container with two metal handles. The customer chooses from cubes of 10, 14, 20, 30 liters. In this case, the diameter of the container for all sizes remains the same, occupying only one burner on the stove, only the height changes;
• the thickness of the walls is increased to 1.5 mm, the bottom – to 2 mm;
• neck 110 mm in diameter, with a sealed fastening with 5 bolts and wing nuts;
• the device can now be used on all hobs, including induction;
• The collapsible steam tank is located on a short drawer. It does not need a faucet, since fusel oils flow back into the cube. For additional purification of alcohol vapor, it is placed in it. It is possible to additionally flavor the drink with spices, zest, honey, etc., placed in a steamer;
• distillation speed is 3 liters per hour;
• price from 5990 to 8590 rub.

Although in general the design is compact (the height of the assembled 10-liter device is 45 cm, with a 14-liter one - 50 cm, with a 20-liter one - 60 cm). But with the maximum volume of the cube, a problem may arise when installing it under a hood, since the design with a 30-liter cube is 80 cm in height.

The manufacturer provides a 3-year warranty on the cube, and 1 year on all other equipment.

Under the brand name "Slavyanka Premium"

There is also a private enterprise in Kirov that produces a device with the identical name - “Slavyanka Premium”. This equipment is different from the one we just talked about. What are the differences?

1. Stainless steel stills for 12, 20 and 30 liters, with a wide neck (110 mm) for five bolts with wing nuts.
2. Food grade steel, sheet thickness 2 mm. The indicator is not bad for a distillation cube.
3. There is no drawbar, instead there is a tube bent at an angle of 90°, to which the steamer and refrigerator are attached in series.
4. The steam steamer is collapsible, with a tap for draining phlegm.

The cost of this device with a 12 liter cube is 6490 rubles, for 20 liters – 7490 rubles, for 30 liters – 8990 rubles. This is not to say that this device does not deserve a kind word. But we cannot say why devices that are significantly different from each other have the same name, misleading customers. Therefore, before making a choice, study the parameters of devices from Wayne and the mentioned state of emergency.

Although the overall design is reliable and highly polished, the welds are not flawless, although it is noticeable that they have been polished. Apparently, non-argon welding is used.

Another negative point in all the described modifications is lack of safety valve to relieve pressure. This is especially true in relation to the simplified version of the “Slavyanka”, which has thin outlet tubes.

How to use the Slavyanka system?

Since this device in all modifications is a distiller, then the best solution is carry out two distillations. The first time “at full speed”, at maximum speed, without division into factions.

The second is with the selection of heads and tails. During secondary distillation in a collapsible steamer, you can use a Panchenkov nozzle for thorough cleaning.

The devices come completely ready for use, complete with 5 meters of hose for connecting to the water supply, clamps and silicone gaskets.

Important. The first distillation is carried out on water - to clean the apparatus from industrial dust.

Subsequently distilled as usual:

1. Mash is poured into the cube (no more than 1/3).
2. Carefully screw or place the cover on the bolts, not forgetting to install the gasket.
3. Check the tightness of the connections.
4. Connect the supply and drain hoses to the refrigerator.
5. Turn on the heating.
6. Open the water for circulation.
7. Distillation is carried out according to a scheme known to every moonshiner.

Storage and care

The devices are made of stainless steel and do not require special storage conditions. It is important to time them. Drain the fusel from the steamer (including non-separable ones) and rinse it. Clean still and all sheds– the key to a high-quality homemade high-grade product.
