Description
We build this pot tower still for distillers who run one kettle and expect it to earn its floor space. The story repeats: someone starts on a small alembic, demand grows, and suddenly they need gin one week and whiskey the next without buying two separate rigs. The column and gin basket come off, so the same vessel works as a plain pot still or as a botanical-heavy gin setup.
Heating choice comes first
Electric is the simpler purchase. No boiler, no steam line, usually no extra permitting — but check your panel, because a 300L electric unit wants a dedicated feed and a real breaker, not a shared shop circuit. Steam coils start making sense at 500L and up, or whenever a boiler already sits on site. Steam heats the jacket more gently and responds faster, and it keeps elements out of the wash. On 1000L systems we quote steam almost every time unless the customer is running off-grid.
Where the copper actually belongs
Full copper photographs well. It also costs more and weighs more. What drives flavor is copper in the vapor path — head, column, condenser. A stainless kettle with a copper head is the usual compromise, and it tolerates acidic washes better over years of service.
Options we quote most often: gin basket size and mesh, agitator, reflux column, CIP spray ball, and shell-and-tube versus coil condenser. Before quoting, send us your target batch volume, wash ABV, ceiling height, available power or steam pressure, and whether the still ships assembled or in sections. Those five answers change the price more than any accessory.

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
