Description

The Copper Pot Still is perfect when you want the flavor of the wash to come through, whereas a Reflux Still is more favorable for producing pure, unflavored spirits. If you want to make whiskeys and gins, this pot still top is a great way to start! The classic "V" shape captures the vital esters, aldehydes, and phenolic compounds that are necessary for the complex spirits such as whiskeys and gins. Made from solid copper. When your hot spirit comes into contact with the copper, the copper acts like a catalytic converter to drive sulfur out of the spirit. This leads to less off-flavors and higher quality spirit.

This is only the still top and does not come with a boiler. This is only the still top and does not come with a boiler. Combine with a distillation lid to use a BrewZilla or DigiBoil as the base for this Alcoengine brand still top.

Comes with 13 mm (0.51") barb connections for the water inlet and outlet.

I'd like to upgrade the thermometer (or use my Thermoworks chefalarm/smoke wireless). What size temp probe would I need to securely fit the opening?

Can I make this fit a sanke keg if I got a tri-clover flange. What is the pipe thread?
Tim Spangler on Jan 25, 2020
BEST ANSWER: You can attach this to the top of a sanke keg by using a 2" triclamp gasket. The bulkhead is sized to fit a 47mm hole.
What size are the Pipe threads (MNPT)???
Robert S on Jan 26, 2022
BEST ANSWER: I removed mine and replaced with 1/4” compression to npt and 1/4 hose barbs.
Can I use this as a steam condenser on my Gen 4 for indoor beer brewing?
Christopher L on Dec 18, 2022
BEST ANSWER: This set-up will fit a digiboil or brewzilla electric kettle system combined with a distillation lid or copper alembic distillation dome it can be used to separate alcohol, oil, and water depending on the boiling property of each. Steam rising into this will be cooled by the encased water jacket inside the head and the resulting distillate will drip from the tube. I use a high temp silicon hose attached to the end with a wire clamp to direct the flow. However, if the water jacket surrounding the head did not have cold water running through it then only vapor would escape.
What is the threads per inch count on the part where is connects to the boiler?

The holes where the water lines go in and out leak steam. They are not soldered.

Leaks
It leaks where the coil goes in. I'm going to have to seal it up to use it. As much as it cost it should be plug and play.

Fittings are BSP
This is a highly efficient condenser. Water flow needed was barely a trickle.
The British pipe thread and the odd compression fittings inhibits my ability to standardize all of my connections.
I wish the still allowed for pressurization so that a thump keg could be utilized.

Why?
Had the same problem. The water connections point UP. Poor designing, guys!

Not what I thought it would be….
Wouldn’t recommend this with the water lines pointing up . I guess the lines of water are supposed to come from the ceiling.

Great product
Ran my first batch with this to work out the kinks. Worked great with the Digiboil (35L), not a sponsor. My old setup would take about 3-4 hours on the stove pot still. This setup took 2.5 hours start to finish. Finished whiskey was just at 40% with a mash at 14%, a little low. Like I said great product.
