20 Gallon Copper Moonshine Still with Gin Basket

This 20 gallon copper still is a roomy, do-it-all rig for the hobby distiller who likes options. The standout feature is its gin basket, a perforated chamber in the vapor path where botanicals like juniper, angelica root and citrus peel sit waiting. Alcohol vapor drifts through the basket and lifts those aromatics into the spirit, giving you genuine vapor-infused gin straight off the still.

Set the basket aside and you have a capable pot still for everything else in the lineup. The all-copper body conducts heat smoothly and continuously reacts with sulfur compounds in the wash, a chemical cleanup that has made copper the distiller's metal for centuries. There is no brass and no lead in the build, and the seams are bonded with food-grade tin-silver solder.

At a full twenty gallons, it comfortably handles the larger washes that whiskey and rum makers favor while still being approachable for a serious home setup. It is the kind of still that grows with your skills rather than limiting them.
