Where it lands on our lists
- By heat source: Electric, 110V.
- By size: Mid-size, with a 6 gallon capacity.
- By budget: $750 and up. It starts at $999.
- By setup: Complete, Advanced Model.
Why electric appeals to the scientist
Heat is the variable everything else depends on. It drives how fast vapor rises and how the run goes from start to finish. With electric heat, you can set it, write it down, and set it the same way next time. If you treat every run like an experiment, steady and repeatable heat makes your notes worth more and your results easier to compare.
How it compares
On our list, this is the electric partner to the 6 Gallon Complete Copper Still with Thumper and Worm. The two are the same size. They differ in heat source, setup, and price. If you're deciding between them, the question is how you want to control your heat. If you're not sure which fits, call the shop at 603-997-6786.
Owning a still is legal in the US. Stills are also used for water, essential oils, and fuel alcohol with a permit. Distilling spirits requires a federal TTB permit, and you must follow federal, state, and local law.
