Some people want a still that's ready to go. Others want to build it themselves and understand every joint. The 2 Gallon You-Build EZ Kit is for the second group. It's an Advanced Model copper moonshine still kit that you put together yourself, starting at $379.
Build it, then understand it
There's real satisfaction in building the tool you'll experiment with. When you've put the pieces together yourself, you know how the vapor path runs from pot to condenser. You know where heat goes in and where liquid comes out. That kind of hands-on knowledge makes you a better distiller, more alchemist than appliance owner.
Features that make the kit easier
- 2 gallon capacity, a good size for learning and small test batches
- EZ Seal Cap
- 3 inch thumper port, so you can add a thumper stage
- Advanced Model design
- You-Build kit format
A small lab for big curiosity
At 2 gallons, this kit fits on a workbench and suits short runs where you can watch every stage. Try different heat levels, watch how fast the vapor comes up, and learn to read your output. The thumper port means the kit can grow with you when you're ready to add another stage.
Stay on the right side of the law
Owning a copper still is legal in the US. Small stills are great for distilling water and essential oils, and fuel alcohol can be made with a permit. Distilling alcohol requires a federal TTB permit. Follow federal, state, and local law.
