20 Gallon Heavy Copper Moonshine Still with 2.8 Gallon Thumper and Worm
This is a full 20 gallon copper still that ships with a 2.8 gallon thumper and a matching 2.8 gallon worm condenser, a complete setup ready to run. We shape every piece by hand from thick, heavy-gauge copper, the same way our family has built stills here in the Appalachian hills for generations.
The weight of this copper is no accident, it holds a heavy charge of mash without flexing and stands up to year after year of use. Copper naturally pulls the sulfur out of your vapor, leaving a clean, smooth spirit in the jar, whether you are running whiskey, rum, brandy, or moonshine.

Good to know
Weight is the first thing you notice about this 20 gallon copper moonshine still, and that's on purpose. We shape every piece by hand from thick, heavy-gauge, lead-free copper so the boiler can carry a heavy charge of mash without flexing, year after year. It comes as a complete setup with a 2.8 gallon thumper and a matching 2.8 gallon worm condenser. Every seam is soldered by hand with food-grade solder, the way our family has built stills in the Appalachian hills for generations.
Why does heavy copper matter in a 20 gallon still?
Big batches mean heavy loads. Thick copper stays rigid under that weight, and copper conducts heat well, so your runs behave the same way each time. That consistency is exactly what you want when you're testing cuts and temperatures.
- Matched pair: a 2.8 gallon thumper and a 2.8 gallon worm sized to work together.
- Cleaner vapor: copper naturally pulls sulfur out of the vapor for a clean, smooth spirit.
- Room to experiment: a bigger boiler means a longer run, with more time to watch the heads, hearts and tails come through.
- Upkeep: rinse it well after use and store it dry to protect the copper.
Distilled water, essential oils and fuel alcohol are common uses for a still this size. Making whiskey, rum, brandy or moonshine requires federal TTB permits, and we always encourage getting yours in place first. Questions? Ask us anytime.
