How to Choose the Right Distilling Still
Beginner Distillers
A 5 gallon stainless steel or copper still kit is ideal for first-time distillers. These systems are manageable, affordable, and perfect for learning small-batch production.
Flavor-Focused Distillers
Copper stills are often preferred for whiskey and rum because copper helps remove sulfur compounds and improves overall flavor quality.
High-Proof Neutral Spirits
Reflux stills allow for higher proof output and are ideal for vodka or other neutral spirits.
Commercial & Large Batch Production
If you are scaling production or distilling essential oils, larger-capacity systems provide increased efficiency and output.
| Still Type | Best For | Proof Output | Flavor Retention | Skill Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Copper Pot Still | Whiskey, Rum | Moderate | High | Beginner–Intermediate |
| Reflux Still | Vodka, Neutral Spirits | High | Lower | Intermediate |
| Stainless Pot Still | General Use | Moderate | Medium | Beginner |
Frequently Asked Questions About Moonshine Stills
What size still should I buy?
Most beginners start with a 5 gallon still because it is manageable and affordable while still producing meaningful batch sizes.
Are copper stills better than stainless steel?
Copper stills help remove sulfur compounds and can improve flavor, particularly for whiskey and rum. Stainless steel systems are extremely durable and easier to maintain.
Is it legal to own a still?
Laws vary by location. Owning a still for water distillation, essential oils, or decorative purposes is legal in many areas. Always check your local regulations before distilling alcohol.
What proof can I expect from a reflux still?
Reflux stills are designed to produce higher-proof spirits compared to traditional pot stills, depending on setup and technique.
