Why copper, and why 10 gallons
Copper is the old-world metal of this craft. It moves heat readily, and it's a big part of why distillers call the work alchemy. Every handmade still from this New Hampshire family shop starts with it.
Ten gallons is a sweet spot on our size list. It's big enough that a run is worth the setup, and small enough that you can still treat every batch as an experiment: change one variable, watch the vapor, make your cuts, and write down what happened.
For budget shoppers, the word complete in the title matters. This is sold as a complete still, not a bare pot. To find out exactly what's in the box, call the shop at 603-997-6786.
