Good to know
For fruit brandy, grain whiskey or fragrant essential oils, the 6 gallon onion head copper pot still is a well-balanced size. It's a working piece of old-world craft: a 100% copper pot topped with the rounded onion-head cap that has stood for traditional distilling for centuries.
Why pick a 6 gallon onion head still over a smaller one?
The extra capacity gives you longer runs and more output to sort into heads, hearts and tails, and it's still small enough to handle at home. It's a comfortable middle ground for distillers who have outgrown their first experiments.
- You get the copper pot, onion-head cap, swan neck, and a condenser with thermometer port.
- Welded unions are sealed with lead-free tin-silver solder for a lasting bond, and the still is 100% copper.
- Fit a thermometer in the port and log the readings every few minutes. Patterns show up quickly.
- Copper darkens with use. A gentle cleaner brings back the glow if you want it to stay a showpiece.
It handles whiskey, rum, vodka, brandy, moonshine and essential oils, and it's backed by our 2-year warranty. Owning a still is legal in the US. Making spirits requires federal TTB permits, and distilled water, essential oils and fuel alcohol are other common uses. Have a question about the onion head design? Drop us a line.
