Good to know
Few pieces of equipment look as good on the bench as a 13 gallon onion head copper pot still. Ours follows old-world tradition: a copper pot topped with a rounded onion-head cap, and a swan neck that carries vapor to a condenser with a thermometer port. It's a working piece of art, and it's 100% copper and lead-free.
What can you make with a 13 gallon onion head copper pot still?
This still is ready for whiskey, rum, vodka, brandy, moonshine, essential oils and more. Owning the still is legal in the US, but making spirits requires federal TTB permits. Many owners start with distilled water or essential oils, using fragrant plants to learn how heat and vapor behave before they move on to more complex projects.
- Onion-head shape: the rounded cap is a classic profile from traditional pot stills, and it's what makes this one a real centerpiece.
- Lead-free seams: every welded union is sealed with lead-free tin-silver solder for a lasting bond.
- Thermometer port: it's built into the condenser, so you can track temperature as you run and keep notes on each batch.
- Care: rinse with hot water after each run, let it dry completely, and polish now and then to keep the copper glowing.
