1.5 Gallon Mushroom-Top Copper Pot Still

If you are just getting into home distilling, this 1.5 gallon mushroom-top pot still is an easy place to start. The modest pot size keeps test runs and small spirit batches manageable on a benchtop or stovetop, so you can dial in your technique on whiskey, rum or fruit brandy without committing to a large boiler.

Every piece is shaped from solid copper at least 1 mm thick and joined with tin-silver solder, which means no lead and no brass in the vapor path. Copper actively scrubs sulfur compounds out of the distillate, and the broad mushroom cap encourages reflux for a cleaner, smoother cut.

The kit arrives complete with the copper boiler, mushroom cap, swan neck and a condenser fitted with a thermometer port, so you can monitor vapor temperature from your first run onward.
