Good to know
Old-world distillers worked in copper for good reason, and this 6 gallon copper still with a traditional onion head carries that tradition forward. It's handcrafted from 100% copper, at least 1.0 mm thick, and every welded union is sealed with lead-free tin-silver solder. There's no lead and no brass. The result is a mid-size onion head pot still that works hard and looks like an heirloom.
What comes with the 6 gallon onion head pot still?
You get the core of a working setup: the copper pot, the onion-head cap, the swan neck that carries vapor across, and a condenser with a thermometer port. If you're unsure what else your space or heat source needs, reach out and we'll help you plan it.
- Room to experiment: a 6 gallon pot gives you an unhurried run, with time to watch temperatures climb and make deliberate cuts.
- Copper as a partner: it moves heat evenly and reacts with sulfur in the vapor. That's part of why distillers prize copper for spirits and oils.
- Versatile: clean water and aromatic essential oils, plus fuel alcohol and spirits like whiskey, rum, vodka and brandy for those holding the right TTB permits.
- Simple upkeep: rinse and dry after each run, and polish when you like. Patina is just copper aging gracefully.
One important note: buying and owning a still is legal in the US, but making spirits requires federal TTB permits. We're always glad to answer questions before or after you buy.
