What comes with the 19 gallon onion head copper pot still?
You get the copper pot, the onion-head cap, the swan neck and a condenser with a thermometer port. The whole still is 100% copper and lead-free. Every welded union is sealed with lead-free tin-silver solder for a strong, lasting bond.
- Why an onion head: The wide, rounded cap gives rising vapor a roomy chamber before it moves into the swan neck. It's the classic pot still profile distillers have used for centuries.
- Read your run: Fit a thermometer in the condenser's port to follow temperatures as you work through foreshots, heads, hearts and tails.
- Many uses: Make distilled water, or draw essential oils from herbs and flowers. With a federal TTB permit, you can also make whiskey, rum, vodka, brandy and more.
- Copper care: Rinse and dry after each run. Copper darkens over time, and a mild vinegar or citric acid wash restores the glow.
Copper does more than look good. It conducts heat well and reacts with sulfur compounds in the vapor, which is why distillers have trusted it for so long. Every run is your experiment: you choose the wash, control the heat and decide where the cuts fall. Want to know how this still fits your setup? Ask us anytime.
