What makes an 8 gallon onion-head copper pot still worth it?
Capacity and patience. A larger charge gives you a longer, steadier run, and that's exactly when you can slow down, read your thermometer and fine-tune your heat.
- Arrives with: the copper boiler, a classic onion-head dome, swan neck, and a condenser with a thermometer port.
- Hammered by hand: every piece is shaped by people, not stamped out, and the finish shows it whether the still is running or resting.
- Heat with care: a full 8 gallon boiler needs a heat source sized for the job and a level, stable base. Ask us if you'd like help choosing one.
- Experiment widely: steam out essential oils, make distilled water, or, under federal TTB permits, run whiskey, rum, brandy or moonshine.
Stills are legal to own throughout the US. Permits come into it only when you make spirits, and then they're a must. After each run, rinse, dry and let the copper breathe, and it will keep working for you for years.
