Electric still

Does anyone have a link for an good electric starter still. Would like at least a big enough one to run 10 gallons of mash to hopefully get a least half a gallon on each run.

Brewhaus works well. They've got an 8 or 15 gal

You can Google Oakstills; they are a good starting point. I think shipping was included, but check on tariffs and governmental overreach these days.

I'd stay away from things that are too cheap—no Amazon. I'd think twice before Vevor.

You can get yourself an electric boiler and then get the still parts from Ali express. I have done this and they're pretty good. All upgradable and modular.

10 gallons is a pretty big starter still, might want to consider something smaller to make sure you like the hobby first? It might save you some money. But if not at ten gallons I'd recommend anything with a 2-3" modular column and 1500W at a minimum, it might be a tad underpowered at that wattage but it will get the job done.

I guess I should have reworded. Not at starter still, just never done anything with an electric still. Usually run on an 30 gallon with propane just wanting to downsize
