Why pure copper matters to an alchemist
Copper has been the distiller's metal for generations, and for good reason. It moves heat well, and it interacts with the vapor in ways that affect what comes off the still. On a pure copper distiller, you're the one running the experiment. You control the heat, watch the vapor turn back to liquid, and decide where each cut falls.
Room for serious projects
Twenty-five gallons suits people who already know their process and want more capacity per run. That could mean distilled water, essential oils, or spirits or fuel alcohol made under a permit.
