The everyday favorite
Some stills earn their place on a best-sellers list by being big or flashy. This one earns it by being easy to like. It's a 6 gallon complete copper still, priced from $699, and it's the kind of piece people buy to learn the craft and then keep using for years.
Why people choose it
- A size you can manage. Six gallons is enough to learn on without feeling like you're running a factory in your garage.
- Copper all the way. Copper is the metal distillers have trusted for generations, and it looks great on a shelf when you're not using it.
- Complete out of the box. It's sold as a complete still, not a pile of parts you have to track down.
Run it like a scientist
Bring a notebook. Write down how much heat you used, how long it took for the first drops to show, and how the output changed from jar to jar. Change one thing next time and compare. That's how a hobby turns into a skill: you work like an alchemist and keep records like a scientist. The copper, the heat, and the vapor are your variables, and you control all of them.
Stay on the right side of the law
You can legally own a still in the US, and many people use theirs for distilled water or essential oils. Distilling alcohol, including fuel alcohol, requires a federal TTB permit. Always follow federal, state, and local law.
