This is the biggest still on our best-seller shortlist. The 50 Gallon Advanced Model Complete Copper Distiller comes with a 10 gallon thumper and a 10 gallon worm, sold as one complete setup starting at $1900. People pick it once they know distilling is more than a passing interest and they want room to work.
Why people go big
- It's 50 gallons. That's plenty of room for full-size batches and serious projects.
- The 10 gallon thumper adds a stage between the pot and the condenser, so vapor gets another pass before it's cooled.
- The 10 gallon worm is sized to match the rest of this setup, so the copper coil can condense what the pot and thumper send its way.
- It's an Advanced Model sold complete, so the pot, thumper, and worm are built to work together.
A bigger lab for bigger experiments
A bigger still doesn't change the basics. It just gives you more to work with. You still control the heat, follow the vapor through each stage, and judge your cuts as the run comes off the worm. With a pot this size, each run is a substantial experiment, and good notes pay off. Change one thing, record what happened, and refine. That's how a hobbyist becomes a craftsman, and maybe a bit of an alchemist.
Stills like this are used for distilled water, essential oil extraction, and, with the proper permits, fuel alcohol and spirits. Owning a still is legal in the US, but distilling alcohol requires a federal TTB permit. Please follow federal, state, and local law.
