PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
You've seen the rest now check out the best. This is our "Next Generation" digital moonshine still controller package v16.3 and we built it from the ground up with the home distiller and brewer in mind. This package was designed, machined, and assembled right here in the USA by us, Hi Proof Products and we are the only company authorized to sell it. This commercial-grade controller is built to be used with our included ULWD 5500 watt ripple heater package. All of our heaters use a third wire ground for your safety in mind.
OPERATION:
The on/off switch controls all power to the unit so there is no need to unplug the system once you have finished with a run. We also built-in a female twist lock receptacle to make connecting or disconnecting the heater a breeze. The two white buttons vary output power infinitely to the heating element itself. There is a illuminated digital readout from 0 to 100% so you'll always know the power level you're pushing to the element and all your settings will be very easy to duplicate on all subsequent moonshine still runs.
This controller coupled with our 5500 watt ULWD ripple heater is capable of heating any 20-25 gallon kettle/boiler to operating temperature in a very short amount of time, please see the chart below.

SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS:
ANALOG vs DIGITAL CONTROLLERS YOU CHOOSE:
Analog controllers: There are more than a few companies out there still offering controllers that use old-school analog technology. They are easy to spot because they use meters with a moving needle as well as a rotary knob to adjust their power levels. So what's so bad about that you ask? Well, old-school analog amp-meters are fragile due to the way they are constructed and prone to skewed readings. Further, open potentiometers, (knobs that twist to adjust power levels) have always been a weak spot allowing dirt and moisture to enter hence they are sub-par in the overall control design. Air-cooled heat-sinks rely on the ambient air temperature and eddy-air currents and attempt to keep the electronics stable, unfortunately as temperatures within the heat-sink rises then too the outputs are most likely going to fluctuate and as a result not be nearly as precise as their digital counterparts. We know this from first hand experience because years ago we too used analog amp-meters and open pots coupled with air-cooled heat-sinks in the construction of our own analog controllers. Plus because of the old-school components the failure rate of the controllers that we were manufacturing at the time was quite startling, roughly 27%. We had guys calling us wanting to buy pots and SSR relays to make field repairs. When it comes to controllers the vast majority of sellers out there are offering analog because it's much cheaper for them to build making the profit higher when it comes to the sale. Analog controllers can be compared to Henry Ford's Model-T automobile, it got you there, maybe.
Digital Controllers: Today Hi Proof Products is proud to use and offer the very latest technologies available and we incorporate them into the construction of our fully digital controllers. Solid-state digital electronics, LED read-outs, push-button controls, fan-cooled heat-sinks, and commercial-quality components keep our controllers precise, stable, and dependable in all ambient temperatures and conditions. That precision is most important when it comes to crafting fine alcohol. Our controllers might cost a little more since solid state electronic components cost us more but you won't find a more precise controller offered elsewhere. Our current failure rate for digital controllers is less than 1% and two of those controllers were damaged because the user pulled the cord instead of the plug when disconnecting. Considering that the digital controller is the last you will ever need factor in the years and years of service life and I think you'll agree with the others that have purchased controllers from us as a long-term investment. Spend your hard earned dollars in a wisely and choose digital, you won't be sorry that you did.
All of our controllers are built one at a time in our shop as needed and as such please allow time for construction and testing. You will be very pleased with the controller package, we guarantee it.
As a side note no one does more testing and research on their controllers, and we are constantly striving for improvement. We have built and sent out many countless controllers and folks love them. They are a proven design and they work flawlessly. We have built controllers for distilleries as well as home distillers & brewers and the guys and gals that have purchased them give them two thumbs up. We are sure you will too.

Estimated heat up time using our 5500 watt controller/heater package
- 8 gallon in 20 minutes
- 13 gallon in 35 minutes
- 15 gallon keg in 40 minutes
- 26 gallon in 1 hour and 10 minutes
SYSTEM HIGHLIGHTS:
- Commercial grade 30-amp 2-pole on/off switch
- LED power indicator.
- Solid-state electronics, there are no contacts or SSRs to ever wear out.
- Internally fan-cooled so you never have to worry about overheating or being burnt by a exposed hot heat-sink
- Illuminated variable digital power 0 to 100 percent lets you know at a glance how much power is being sent to the element. No old school fragile analog meters or exposed open potentiometers used here!
- Commercial grade 30-amp female twist lock connector built-in to the controller makes it easy to disconnect your heating element from controller.
- Electronics are equipped to handle 80-amps and considering the controller will draw only 25-amps at peak it has power to spare subsequently it is sure to last many more years
- Marine-grade silicone-insulated interconnecting wiring with 100-plus strand count
- Crimp connectors are also soldered as well as crimped before heat-shrink is applied
- ULWD ripple heating element is mounted in a commercial grade enclosure with strain relief, 10 feet of flexible wire, twist-lock plug, and 2" tri-clamp ferrule mounting. All of our heaters use a third wire ground for your safety in mind.
- Furnished with easy to understand operating instructions.
- Controller comes with a 12-month warranty.
