Why Choose a Copper Still?
Copper is the material serious distillers use. It naturally removes sulfur and other off-flavors from your distillate, giving you a cleaner, smoother final product. Unlike stainless steel, copper actively purifies your vapor.
Our stills are built from 20 oz. / 22-gauge copper sheets, using only lead-free solder, so you know your spirits, water, or essential oils will be pure and safe.
What Can You Distill With the 20 Gallon Still?
This copper moonshine still is a versatile home distillation tool that can be used for:
Moonshine, whiskey, bourbon, rum, brandy, and vodka
Purified water (desalinate saltwater into fresh drinking water)
Essential oils, herbal tinctures, and perfumes
Ethanol fuel to power engines or heat your home
Flavored infusions and marinades for cooking
Bonus: The included thumper keg lets you double-distill in a single run or easily add flavor infusions.
Estimated Output (How Much You Can Make)
Weak mash (11% ABV) → ~2.2 gallons of alcoholStrong mash (30% ABV) → ~6 gallons of alcohol
The 20 Gallon size is ideal for hobby distillers who want serious output without taking up the space of a commercial still.
