Copper Still Kits We Build for Working Distilleries
We\’ve shipped these copper kits to guys running 100-gallon batches in a barn and to licensed shops pushing 2,000 liters a week. The idea is the same either way: copper where the vapor actually touches it, stainless where it doesn\’t.
So the kettle, the column, and the lyne arm are copper. That\’s where sulfur compounds bind and where the mouthfeel people pay for comes from. Condenser shell, flanges, stands — stainless is fine, cheaper, and easier to keep clean.
What Actually Changes Between Builds
Heating is the first decision. Electric elements are simpler: no boiler, no steam line, plug into 240V and run. Steam gives even heat at 500L and up and no scorching on grain-in washes, but now you\’re buying a boiler and paying someone to watch it. Most customers under 300L go electric. Above that, steam usually wins.
Then the options:
- Gin basket — if you\’re running botanicals on the same column
- Agitator — needed for grain-in or thick fruit mashes, skip it for sugar washes
- Condenser — shotgun for speed, coil for tight footprints
- Copper thickness — 1.5mm holds up, 2mm and up for daily production
Before You Ask for a Quote
Tell us batch size, wash type, heating source, ceiling height, and whether you need a UL-listed panel. Floor space and door width matter more than people expect — a 500L column doesn\’t fit through a standard 36-inch door.
Send those five things and we\’ll come back with a build sheet, lead time, and crated weight. Stuck between two sizes? We\’ll tell you which one you\’ll outgrow in a year.

Although there were a few minor issues, thanks to Polly’s help, it looks brilliant and has brought my little distillery quite a few new customers.
Very good！！I see now in my texting to you that in my excitement over having the installation here in the USA I totally forgot to give you and the company of ACE a very big compliment on the quality of the whole Installation!! It all looks fabulous and the way you packed it in the container was extraordinary!! I am very impressed with your company and want to say a big thank you to everybody who worked on my order!!
We have been using this still for a few batches now making whiskey, gin and a few other spirits and we are very happy with the results so far. The gear works well and gives good control during distillation. The spirit comes out clean and consistent from batch to batch and we have gotten the flavor profile we were looking for. It has also been easy to operate and maintain. It has been a great addition to our distillery and I’d definitely recommend it to other craft distillers looking for reliable equipment.”

It was quite a big job to put the distiller together, so I asked a friend to help me, and I managed to get it done in just eight hours. I’m really pleased with it – it looks brilliant.Ryan Murphy
