20 Gallon Electric Copper Still with 4" Cap, PID Controller and Proofing Parrot
This 20 gallon electric copper still takes the guesswork out of a run. It comes wired with a 220-volt PID controller and a temperature probe, so you set your heat and let it hold steady, no propane flame and no messy flour paste to seal the cap. A proofing parrot is included to read your proof straight off the spout as the spirit flows.
We shape and solder every one of these by hand from thick, lead-free copper, the way our people have built stills for generations. The 4-inch cap gives you a tight, reliable seal each time, and copper's natural way of cleaning up the vapor leaves you with a smooth pour. Perfect for whiskey, rum, brandy, or moonshine.

Good to know
Think of this 20 gallon electric copper still as a lab instrument with a copper heart. It comes wired with a 220-volt PID controller and a temperature probe. You set a target and the controller holds it, so there's no propane flame to watch and no flour paste to seal the cap. We shape and hand-solder each one from thick, lead-free copper, the way our people have built stills for generations.
What does a PID controller do on a copper still?
It reads the probe all the time and adjusts the power to keep the temperature where you set it. That makes your runs repeatable. Change one thing, like heat or timing, and you can see exactly what it did.
- 4-inch sealing cap: a tight, reliable seal every run with no paste.
- Proofing parrot included: float a hydrometer in the stream and read proof right off the spout as the spirit flows.
- Power check: the still runs on 220 volts, so make sure you have a suitable outlet. Contact us if you're unsure.
- What the copper does: it cleans sulfur compounds out of the vapor for a smoother pour.
Owning an electric still is legal in the US. Making whiskey, rum, brandy or moonshine requires federal TTB permits. Many owners also use their stills for distilled water, essential oils or fuel alcohol.
