8 Gallon Mushroom-Top Copper Pot Still

Stepping up to eight gallons gives the home distiller real working room, and this mushroom-top pot still delivers it with style. The wide, dome-like mushroom cap creates extra vapor space above the boil, helping condensation fall back into the pot and refine the final spirit. It is a forgiving design that rewards patient distillers with a clean, characterful product run after run.

The body is hammered and formed entirely from copper measuring at least 1.0 mm in thickness. That heft holds heat evenly and stands up to years of use, while the copper itself reacts with sulfur in the wash to scrub away harsh aromas. You will never find brass or lead in this still; the seams are joined with lead-free tin-silver solder for a clean, food-safe finish.

Whether your passion is bourbon-style whiskey, aged rum, fruit brandy or a weekend batch of moonshine, this eight gallon rig has the capacity to keep up. It ships as a complete kit, including the pot, mushroom-top cap, swan neck and a thermometer-ported condenser, so it is ready to fire as soon as it arrives.
