My 20g distiller set starts at 2k . Here’s the link, you can play with the different add ons. www.copperstillco.com/shop/p/20-gallon I also have a beginner set that’s a bit cheaper. You have a look at here. www.copperstillco.com/shop/p/20-gallon-ultimate-beginner-set

@@oops8985 it’s simply how I learned, time efficient and the strength of solder is quite ridiculous. Haven’t found a reason to not use solder.

@@motorpapa3446 I’ll play with that technique. Thus far, 11 years and haven’t had any leak issues doing it this way. But commercial industry is going to be a lot different than hobbyist still units. And I’m self taught so I have no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ simply what works and has been tried and true. You ought to make a video demonstrating the right way. I’d love to see it!

@@motorpapa3446 also, I’m not quite sure what you mean by my flame being under the solder. I pre heat it all, focusing on the pipe mostly, first. Apply the solder to the pipe, flux it again then focus my heat more so I’m the stainless. Drawing that solder onto the lip and into the fitting. That was to simplify it for someone trying to do this at home. Many times it’ll take to it all right away.

@@motorpapa3446 nice! Sounds fun to me! This video is aimed towards the moonshiner community and / or people who don’t necessarily have the ‘knowledge’ is this kind of work. Shit… I don’t even have broad ‘knowledge’ only what I’ve self taught. It’s clear in this community that for whatever reason people read or heard you can’t do this or at the very least you cannot do it without special solder/flux. But yeah, for anyone who in this trade or have gone through an apprentice program. I’m sure it’s nothing new. Thanks for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas. 🎁🎄

Just a standard white paste flux. Harris Water Soluble to be exact. No special solder or flux needed for this particular application.

🤘🤘🤘

Thanks 👍

@@lisawall1817 oh yeah 🤦🏻‍♂️ the music. YT will prob flag it. Better put up the ASMR version lol

@@traverbays4997 for me the question is why would I ? Ya know? I’ve never had a reason to look into other flux. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@traverbays4997 I should also add when I first started soldering I was working for another company, I used the flux I was given and didn’t know of other options. It’s to the point now that the process is so easy and straight forward I don’t feel changing the flux is necessary

lol the basketball player ?

@@dwrobbins331 yeeeaah buddy!!! What order # are ya !?

@copperstillco i really don't know i placed my order on Oct 11 and I need to settle up with you on the sight glass upgrade, sorry I let it slip my mind, I'll call Monday morning and get with you on that, thanks

@@dwrobbins331 I’ve got one Sasquatch that’s been ordered and it was in Oct on the 24th initials headed to Alabama. That you ?

@copperstillco that would be me

@@tomchristensen2914 oh really? How long ago? Did you contact the supplier?

@copperstillco yes they just offered to sell me another still so I kind of gave up lol... I just struggle through it. Bought it before last winter so like a year ago.

@@brenohighland3259 The name “thumper” comes from the sound it makes during distillation. As the vapor enters the liquid inside, it creates a rhythmic “thumping” noise caused by bubbling and pressure changes. It has several purposes -Double Distillation: It allows the alcohol vapor from the boiler to re-condense and re-vaporize, effectively distilling it a second time for higher proof. -Infusion of Flavors: You can add fruits, herbs, or other ingredients to the thumper to infuse additional flavors into the final product. -Temperature Stabilization: The thumper helps maintain consistent temperatures and pressure during distillation. -Efficiency: It captures and reuses heat from the alcohol vapors, reducing the need for additional energy.

@@brenohighland3259 it’ll also catch any ‘puking’ accidents from the boiler. There’s actually something called a slobber box that looks just like a thumper but it’s plumbed differently.

@@paulkurilecz4209 because it makes a knocking or thump noise while it’s operating.

@@copperstillco thanks from EU

@@robertfontaine3650 thank you, cleaning and overall upkeep is definitely more challenging overall. But much nicer to look at. One looks like art where the stainless rigs are more factory manufactured. As far as the jars are concerned. Every system has a pressure relief valve that pops off at 5psi. A still rarely reaches that. But if the system happens to get clogged the safety valve is in place. I have yet to hear of any issues with jar rigs outside of people dropping them. But if I find that it’s creating a consistent safety problem. I’ll certainly stop offering them. As of now, all seems fine :)

@@copperstillco When you make preserves occasionally a jar will crack when you boil it. These are not safety glass. When a jar cracks with alcohol steam and you are working on the still the best case is first degree steam burns the worst case is an alcohol vapor fire. There are plenty of safe ways of making gin baskets and bubblers. This is absolutely not one of them.

@@robertfontaine3650 if you’re able, send me some info. I’m interested in looking at some other options. Are you connected to my Facebook or TikTok ? How could we connect ?

@@copperstillco I'm not much of a welder so I use sanitary spool; 3" short tee with a sight glass. I'm sure you can braze or tig up a nice copper piece using an 3" sight glass that would sell very well with your other sexy pieces. Sight glass polycarbonate is very thick. I will grab some pictures this weekend when I am out in the shed.
