This one is on our budget list. The 15 Gallon You-Build EZ Kit is for buyers who'd rather spend a few hours of their own work on a still than pay someone else to assemble it. It starts at $629.
The list breakdown
- Size: 15 gallons
- Budget: from $629
- Build: You-Build EZ Kit, Advanced Model
- Features: EZ Seal Cap and a 4 inch thumper port
- Heat source: the listing doesn't name one, so call the shop to match it to your setup
Building it is part of the experiment
When you put every joint on the still yourself, you know every joint on it. Assembling the kit is your first lab session. You see how copper, heat, and vapor will move through the rig before your first run. The 4 inch thumper port gives you a dedicated spot for a thumper, and the EZ Seal Cap comes as part of the design.
Who should pick it
It suits hands-on hobbyists, tinkerers, and anyone who likes to understand a tool before trusting it. If you can't decide between a kit and a complete still, the family shop in New Hampshire that makes these is a phone call away at 603-997-6786. They can walk you through the difference.

Stills are legal to own in the US. People use them for water, essential oils, and fuel alcohol (with a permit). Making spirits requires federal TTB permits. Follow all federal, state, and local laws.
