Here's the math that keeps this still on our best-sellers list: it has the largest capacity of any still in this lineup and the lowest starting price, at $899. If you want the most room to work with for your budget, start here.
Why people pick it
- Twenty gallons of capacity. More room in the pot means bigger batches and fewer runs to reach the same result.
- A complete unit. It's sold as a complete craft distillation unit, so you begin with the full system instead of a list of parts to track down.
- Copper construction. Copper spreads heat well and reacts with sulfur compounds in vapor. It's part of why a copper still feels less like an appliance and more like an alchemist's tool.
- The strongest value in the lineup. At $899 it's the lowest starting price among our featured stills, even though it's the largest.
Big pot, careful hands
A larger still rewards patience. Heat it steadily, watch your temperatures and treat the run like a lab session. Note what changes when you adjust one thing at a time. Cuts are judgment calls, and with twenty gallons you have plenty of material to learn from.
