Good to know
Part chemistry set, part sculpture, this 8 gallon mushroom top still gives you serious capacity in a form worth showing off. We handcraft it from 100% copper at least 1.0 mm thick, top it with a broad mushroom cap, and seal every welded union with lead-free tin-silver solder. No lead, no brass, just copper and careful work.
Why choose a copper pot still in the 8 gallon size?
Copper has been the distiller's metal for centuries because it carries heat evenly and reacts with sulfur compounds in the vapor. At 8 gallons you get a generous run to put that chemistry to work, test an idea, and compare it against your last batch.
- Included: the copper pot, mushroom-top cap, swan neck, and condenser with a thermometer port.
- Be the scientist: log vapor temperature from the port, note your cut points, and change one variable next time.
- Know the rules: owning a still is legal in the US. Stills are used for water, essential oils and fuel alcohol, and making spirits requires federal TTB permits.
- Spirit-ready build: for permitted distillers, it handles whiskey, rum, vodka, brandy and moonshine.
Care is straightforward. Rinse after each run, dry it fully, and polish whenever you want the copper to glow again. Weighing mushroom top against onion head, or thinking about a different size? Send us a question and we'll help you choose.
