Why Copper For My Craft Moonshine Still?

Posted by Jonathan Zajac on

Why Copper? Copper has been being used for hundreds of years for a reason.  Copper makes your liquor taste better.  The Distillery Network uses the highest quality copper available, from America.  20 Oz. 22 Gaga thickness is standard in our shop.  We do not use the thin 16 oz. stuff like the other guys do.  You get the highest quality shine when using our copper pots, thumpers worms and caps.  Nothing makes a traditional Appalachian moonshine still shine brighter than a copper still the same style the old timers used back in the day.  Copper is widely used in all...

They are both good, and going thicker doesn't necessarily mean that you will run a better still, or a better product. It simply means that your still is thicker and will take longer to heat up.....
