Good to know
Nineteen gallons of handcrafted copper is a serious commitment, and this 19 gallon copper pot still is built to match. A traditional onion head sits on the pot, a swan neck carries vapor to the condenser, and the whole thing is made from 100% copper at least 1.0 mm thick. Every welded union is sealed with lead-free tin-silver solder. No lead, no brass.
Is a 19 gallon onion head still right for your setup?
It suits distillers who already know their process and want more volume per run, whether for essential oils, water, or permitted spirit production. At this size, your space, your heat source and handling a full pot all matter. Contact us with your questions and we'll help you think it through.
- What you get: copper pot, onion-head cap, swan neck, and condenser with a thermometer port.
- A bigger laboratory: more volume means a longer run, with more time to read temperatures and make precise cuts.
- Old-world metal: copper's even heat and its reaction with sulfur compounds have made it the traditional choice for centuries.
- Permits first: owning the still is legal in the US. Whiskey, rum, vodka, brandy and moonshine require federal TTB permits, and so does fuel alcohol.
Treat it well: rinse it, dry it, and polish it as you like. Every run is another experiment, and this still is built to be the centerpiece of your workshop.
