Good to know
Every distiller wants to know one thing while the spout runs: how strong is it right now? A copper proofing test parrot answers that in real time. It sits under your still's output so the distillate flows through it, and with a hydrometer floating inside you can read proof as the run happens, not after.
How does a copper proof parrot help with cuts?
Proof drops as a run goes on. Watching it change shows you when the hearts start turning toward tails, so you can switch jars at the right moment. It turns a hunch into a measurement you can repeat.
- Heavy copper build: food-safe, lead-free copper and brass hardware made for run after run.
- Live readings: see changes as they happen and log them next to your temperatures for a full picture of each run.
- Hydrometer fit: not sure which hydrometer you need or whether one is included? Ask us before you order and we'll sort it out.
- Simple care: rinse with hot water after each run and dry it well so the copper stays clean between sessions.
Pair the parrot with a notebook and your still becomes a small lab: temperature in one column, proof in the next, cut points circled. Over a few runs you'll learn your rig's habits. Owning a still is legal in the US; making spirits requires federal TTB permits. Stills are also widely used for distilled water, essential oils and fuel alcohol.
