Every still starts with the pot. This is where your wash or water meets the heat, where copper does its quiet chemistry, and where each run begins. If you already have a thumper and a condenser and only need the vessel, this listing is for you.
A pot, and only a pot
This listing is for the pot alone. Each copper pot is sold by itself and does not include a thumper, condenser, or accessories. That's the point. People come to Moonshine Kits because they like doing the work themselves and saving money by buying only what they need. If the other parts are already on your bench, you shouldn't have to pay for them again.
Who it's for
- Distillers replacing a worn or damaged pot on a still they already run
- Builders putting together a custom copper distiller from parts they've collected
- Hobbyists who would rather plan their rig one piece at a time
Pick your size
Choose 6, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, or 60 gallons. Prices start at $599. Before you order, think about how the pot will fit with the thumper and condenser you already own. If you're unsure which size makes sense, call us at 603-997-6786 and talk it through with a real person.
The lab starts here
Running a still makes you part scientist and part alchemist. You're controlling heat, watching vapor, and learning how copper behaves over many runs. A good pot is the foundation for all of it, and swapping in a new one keeps the rest of your setup working.
Use it the right way
Owning a still is legal in the US, and copper pots are also used to distill water and essential oils. Making any alcohol, including fuel alcohol, requires a federal permit from the TTB. Always follow federal, state, and local law.
