2.5 Gallon Moonshine Still
Our 2.5 gallon moonshine still is great for the new moonshine hobbyist and is one of our most popular stills. It’s large enough to cut heads and tails and let you get the hang of distilling, but small enough to make quick batches. It’s also great for experimenting with different ingredients. You can expect our stills to yield about 20% of their capacity, which is about enough shine’ for one full bottle of liquor per run with this still. It comes with four parts: Pot – The copper pot has a 2.5 gallon capacity with brass handles for easy carrying. Head with Swan Neck – The head attaches snugly to the pot and the swan neck connects securely to the condenser. Temperature Gauge –The gauge is rated in Fahrenheit and Celsius and easily screws into the head of the still. Condenser – It has a nozzle at the top, an outlet for catching moonshine at the bottom, and plenty of coil length inside the condenser to cool alcoholic vapors into moonshine. Please note that it does not have a nozzle at the bottom. Our stills are sturdy, uncomplicated, and are great for beginners and experienced shiners alike.

How much does a 2.5 gallon copper still yield per run?
Expect about 20% of the still's capacity. With this size, that's roughly one full bottle per run, a good scale for testing different ingredients and comparing results.
- Pot: a 2.5 gallon copper pot with brass handles for easy carrying.
- Head with swan neck: the head fits snugly on the pot, and the swan neck connects securely to the condenser.
- Temperature gauge: reads in Fahrenheit and Celsius and screws easily into the head, so you can track every stage of the run.
- Condenser: a nozzle at the top, an outlet at the bottom for collecting, and plenty of coil inside to cool vapor back into liquid.
Treat each run like a lab session: same wash, different heat, new set of notes. Owning a still is legal in the US, but making spirits requires federal TTB permits, so get your paperwork started alongside your first experiments. Not sure which beginner still is right for you?
