Whiskey and rum are about keeping flavor. Vodka and gin are about control: you strip a spirit clean, then decide exactly what goes back in. If that kind of precision is what draws you to copper, the 10 Gallon Advanced Model Complete Copper Moonshine Still gives you room to work.
Vodka: chasing clean
Vodka needs a neutral spirit. On a copper pot setup that usually takes patience: careful heat, tight cuts, and often more than one run. Ten gallons makes a batch big enough that your hearts cut is worth the effort, without turning every trial into an all-day job. Copper helps here too, because it reacts with sulfur compounds in the vapor that you don't want in a clean spirit.
Gin: the botanical experiment
Gin is where the alchemist shows up. Juniper, citrus peel, coriander, and angelica each release their oils at their own pace. Steep them, change the ratio, run again, and taste how one ingredient changes the whole spirit. A 10 gallon still makes those side-by-side trials practical.
Why the Advanced Model
This is the Advanced Model in the 10 gallon size, and it comes complete, so you won't be hunting for parts before your first run. It's a natural step up if you've outgrown a small starter still.
The same still also handles distilled water and essential oils. Distilling alcohol in the US requires a federal TTB permit, so follow federal, state, and local law. Call 603-997-6786 with any questions.
