How do you run an 8 gallon mushroom-top copper pot still?
The basics are the same at any size. Charge the boiler with headroom to spare, bring the heat up slowly, keep your condenser cool, and watch the temperature as distillate starts to flow. Then adjust, observe and adjust again.
- Inside the box: copper boiler, rounded mushroom-top cap, swan neck and a condenser with a thermometer port.
- Collect in fractions: on permitted spirit runs, switching jars often lets you compare each stage and make smarter cuts.
- Botanical work: the same still is ready for essential oils and distilled water, both great ways to sharpen your technique.
- Aftercare: clean it soon after the run once it has cooled, dry every part, and polish the copper whenever it needs a lift.
You're free to own a still in the US, but making spirits requires a federal TTB permit. Within those limits, every run is a new experiment you control: the charge, the heat, the timing and the cuts are all your call. Questions? Contact us anytime.
