Why builders reach for 20 gallons
Many hobbyists pick the 20 gallon EZ KIT when they're done thinking about starter stills and want a copper kit with room to grow into. That's what earned it a place on our best-sellers list. It's also priced just $20 above the 15 gallon kit, so stepping up is easy to consider.

Bigger pot, bigger experiments
Running a still is part alchemy and part science. You start with heat and copper, draw the vapor up and out, and use temperature, sight, and smell to decide where each cut falls. A bigger pot means longer runs. That gives you more time to watch how the still behaves from start to finish and more chances to improve your technique. Because you assembled the kit yourself, you already know how every piece connects before you light the first fire.
Priced from $649.
Stay on the right side of the law
Owning a still is legal in the US. People use stills for water, for essential oils, and for fuel alcohol with a permit. Making spirits requires federal TTB permits. Always follow federal, state, and local law.
