65L Distiller Alcohol Gin Distillery Copper Whiskey Still

This still is rated at 100 liters (approx. 26.4 US gallons) for the boiler/pot capacity. Actual usable liquid volume per run may be slightly less to allow headspace for boiling and foam.

The main construction is copper (commonly used for spirit stills). Copper reacts with sulfur compounds for cleaner flavor in distilled spirits. Some components (like base plates, fittings, or condensers) may also include stainless steel—check the specific listing for details.

It is designed for producing distilled spirits such as whiskey, gin, vodka, rum and other potable alcohols, and can also be used for making hydrosols and essential oils. It is not intended for concentrating hazardous or illegal substances.

Configurations vary by model. Some 100L units are simple pot stills (better for flavor-forward spirits), while others include a reflux/column or packed column for higher rectification (neutral spirits). Check the product listing to confirm whether a column or reflux coil is included or optional.

Common heating methods include direct gas burners, electric heating elements fitted to the boiler, or steam jackets if the model supports them. Ensure the specific unit you buy is compatible with your preferred heat source and rated for it.

Run times depend on wash ABV, heat input, and still configuration. A full 100L run typically takes several hours—commonly 4–10 hours from initial warm-up through cuts and finishing—though times can vary widely.

Output ABV depends on wash strength and still type. A single pot run may produce distillate in the 40–65% ABV range, while a reflux column can produce much higher ABV (often 90%+). Final strength will also depend on how you cut heads, hearts, and tails.

Included accessories vary by seller and model. Many packages include a thermometer/temperature probe, condenser, gaskets, and basic fittings; some include column packing or an electric element as optional extras. Always check the product description or ask the seller for a full parts list.

Rinse with warm water after use and avoid harsh detergents. Periodically clean copper surfaces with a gentle acid rinse (e.g., diluted vinegar or citric acid) to remove oxidation, then rinse thoroughly. Keep seals and gaskets clean and inspect for wear. Dry completely before storage to prevent corrosion. Follow any manufacturer maintenance instructions.

Operate in a well-ventilated area, never run a still under pressure (ensure open venting or pressure relief), avoid open flames near alcohol vapors, use flame-proof surfaces, have a fire extinguisher nearby, and monitor temperatures. Follow local electrical and gas safety rules. If unsure, seek guidance from experienced distillers or the manufacturer.

Laws vary widely by country, state, and municipality. In many places, distilling alcohol for consumption requires permits or is restricted. You are responsible for complying with all local laws and regulations—check with local authorities before purchasing or using a distillation unit.

Output depends on the wash ABV and the efficiency of your cuts. As a rough example, a 100L wash at 8–10% ABV might yield several liters of pure alcohol (LPA) which, after dilution and cuts, becomes a lesser volume of bottled spirit. Exact yield varies; do a mass/ABV calculation or consult yield calculators for accurate estimates.

A 100L unit is fairly large and may be better suited to experienced hobbyists or small commercial operations. Beginners can use it but should educate themselves on fermentation, distillation technique, safety, and legal compliance before operating a unit of this size.

Shipping, dimensions, and weight depend on the specific model and packaging. A 100L copper still is bulky and heavy and often ships on a pallet. Ask the seller for exact packed dimensions, gross weight, and shipping method before purchasing.

Many reputable manufacturers and sellers provide spare parts (gaskets, thermometers, heating elements, packing) and technical support or manuals. Confirm warranty terms, availability of spare parts, and support options with the seller prior to purchase.
