The Distillers List sorts copper stills the way people actually shop for them: by size, by budget, by heat source, and by what you plan to run. This 15 Gallon Advanced Model is on our electric list. It's the pick for anyone who wants a complete 220V setup and doesn't want to piece one together.
Where it lands on our lists
- Size: 15 gallons
- Budget: from $1299, sold complete
- Heat source: 220V electric, so plan for a 220V outlet
- Use: water, essential oils, and spirits or fuel alcohol if you hold the right federal permit
Why electric changes the experiment
Running a still is part alchemy and part lab work. Copper, heat, and vapor do the changing, and you decide where the cuts fall. With electric heat on 220V, your heat is set on a dial. You can adjust it, hold it, and repeat a run without chasing a flame. If you think like a scientist and keep notes from run to run, this kind of rig rewards that habit.
Made by a family shop
This still is made by hand at Moonshine Stills, a family shop in New Hampshire. Not sure about your outlet, your space, or whether 15 gallons is the right size? Call the people who build it at 603-997-6786 before you buy.

Prices on handmade copper can change. Sign up for Distillers List sale alerts and we'll tell you when the price moves on the stills you're watching, this one included.
Owning a still is legal in the US. Distilling alcohol requires federal TTB permits, and you must follow all federal, state, and local laws.
