At twenty-five gallons, a hobby becomes a serious workbench. This Advanced Model arrives fully assembled with a 220V electric heating element and a power controller. You don't need a propane tank or a burner, and there's no open flame. You set the heat, watch what happens and adjust. That's the scientist's half of the craft.
Rum and brandy at full size
Rum and brandy both start with sugar, from molasses, cane, grapes or orchard fruit. A bigger charge gives you more spirit to work with when you make your cuts. That means more room to separate the harsh heads from the rich, fruity hearts. The controller holds a stable temperature through a long run, so you aren't constantly chasing it.
Gin and infusions through the thumper
The 4 inch thumper port is built for infusions and easy cleaning. Pack it with botanicals for a gin-style run or with fruit for a schnapps-style infusion. Afterward, open it up and scrub it out.
Whiskey and vodka
Grain whiskey gets the classic benefit of copper in the vapor path. If you're after vodka, the capacity lets you run, collect and run again toward a cleaner result.
How it is built
- Heavy-gauge 99.9% pure copper
- Lead-free, food grade silver solder
- EZ Seal stainless cap system
- Handcrafted in the USA, with a lifetime warranty on copper components
This still also works for water distillation, essential oils, botanical extraction and ethanol fuel. Owning a still is legal. Making alcohol for drinking or for fuel requires federal permits, and you must follow federal, state and local law.
