Copper has long been the distiller's metal for good reason. It conducts heat well and reacts with sulfur compounds in the vapor, which leaves a cleaner result. Add your own careful notes and you have a small, honest laboratory on your bench. Owning a still is legal in the US. Just make sure any spirit production is properly permitted.
