Good to know
Some tools live in a drawer, but our 19 gallon mushroom top copper pot still belongs front and center. It's made from 100% lead-free copper in the old-world style, and its broad domed cap crowns the pot like the lid of an alchemist's alembic. Copper has been the distiller's metal for centuries. It spreads heat evenly and reacts with sulfur compounds in the vapor, which helps give a cleaner result.
Is a 19 gallon mushroom top copper pot still right for you?
If you want a traditional pot still with a simple layout, it's a strong pick. You get the core of a classic pot still: the copper pot, the mushroom-top cap, the swan neck and a condenser with a thermometer port.
- Lead-free joints: Every welded union is sealed with lead-free tin-silver solder, so you can focus on the run, not the hardware.
- Follow the vapor: Use the condenser's thermometer port to track temperatures as each part of the run comes over. Write down what you see so the next batch teaches you even more.
- More than spirits: Distill lavender, mint or citrus peel for essential oils, or make distilled water. Whiskey, rum, brandy and vodka need a federal TTB permit first.
- Keep it bright: After a run, flush with clean water and dry thoroughly. When the patina gets dark, polish with a mild citric acid solution.
