Great video and a beautiful 15 gal still. I been making shine for a little longer than a year and I've learned so much from you and others like phillbilly.
The lyne arm will come straight out so you can add a thumper. The still will likely come standard as traditional paste cap still with worm only. With Upgrade options to add thumper, add electric port and upgrade from paste style cap to 6” trip clamp.
I’m not sure if this has been asked before. I’m building my own out of a beer keg with a 10:22 copper column and copper Liebig condenser. Now should I do both runs ??
so I have a 20 gal pot still with thumper. I am trying to figure when I need to use a column or why it is necessary. also is a shotgun condenser a good one to run with a column
Are you putting ice in the water tank as it gets circulated? Once you guys get the whole new system worked out and all the kinks, you should go thru every aspect of the still (heat source and cleaning) and the condensing water (pump and temp). Have wanted to increase my still capacity, this might be the ticket. I don't like the plated style stills, only pot style. This looks great.
I dont understand why still manufacturers use those useless union connectors. Do yourself a favor and switch to sanitary fittings with Tri-clamps and silicone gaskets. They are quick to assemble and disassemble and you don't need tools. And they don't leak. But that's a very nice still for sure and they produce great liquor.

Thank you. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. It's a great hobby.
That’s a good looking still…I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for the final version.
Yep. Adam does fantastic work.

Great video and it’s a learning curve when you’re doing something new.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Cyrus!!!! That’s a pretty unit you all are making. Great info on the blue tint. It can be discerning the first time you see it.
Thank you. We aren't finished yet. Thanks for the comment.

Ignor 10:22
yes
@@StillnTheClear appreciate the reply. Thanks.
Still'n The Clear, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!
That's awesome. I'm glad you had a good time watching.
This is such a great video! So informative! Can’t wait to learn more from you :)
It's great to hear that. I'm so glad you found it useful.
Good to see you back sir
Thank you, thanks for watching.
To clarify. Those leak spots were areas that will always need teflon tape 😉
Not a leak in the solder joints ❤
No certainly not the solder joints. A little Teflon on the threads solved it.
@@StillnTheClearI jumped the gun and commented before finishing the video. It clarified itself lol Thanks for the great video !
@@copperstillco I do the same thing all the time. 😂
What do you put IN the sacrificial run? Would be helpful for the newbie's to give very detailed instructions. Thanks.
Great to tutorial video, does this still comes with a thumper? What the cost?

I would love to have a 25 gallon one
I'm sure Adam can hook you up. www.copperstillco.com
Copper stills are expensive,but WELL with it
For sure.

No. I don't use ice. If the water gets too warm I just replace it with cold water. We will certainly keep updates of progress.
What is the proper ratio of water to vinegar
I use 1:1
I hope they make that in electric
Yes, In fact the one in the video has a 2" port on the side, but I forgot to mention it.
What about a thumper
The next iteration of the still will be designed so it can be run with or without a thumper.
That’ll be incorporated in the final design 😎
