Good to know
A 6 gallon mushroom-top copper pot still gives you room to scale up without losing the hands-on feel of a small rig. We build ours by hand from heavy copper, seal every joint with lead-free tin-silver solder, and leave brass out of the mix. It's the kind of still you pass down rather than replace.
How does a 6 gallon mushroom-top copper pot still fit a home setup?
It's a mid-size boiler, so you'll want a stable surface and a heat source that can bring a full charge up steadily. If you're not sure which burner suits it, contact us and we'll talk it through.
- Everything that matters: copper boiler, smooth mushroom-top cap, swan neck, and a condenser with a thermometer port.
- The alchemy part: copper surfaces react with the vapor and help remove sulfur-type off-notes. That's one reason copper has been the distiller's metal for centuries.
- The science part: temperature readings from the condenser port give you data, and data lets you repeat a great run instead of hoping for one.
- Range of work: essential oils, distilled water, and, with TTB permits, whiskey, rum, brandy or moonshine.
Owning a still is legal in the US, but making spirits without federal permits is not. Keep it legal and keep experimenting. A rinse, a thorough dry and an occasional polish are all it takes to keep this copper looking its best for the next generation.
