WHY A COPPER STILL?

• The main reason for using copper in the still distillation process is that it acts like a magnet, attracting sulfur compounds and yeast cells produced during fermentation as they pass through the tube carrying alcohol and essential oils. Sulfur compounds and yeast cells can often lead to undesirable odors. Copper brings out the true flavor of the distilled liquids and helps to enhance the taste of the product.

Other reasons are as follows:.

• Copper reduces bacterial contamination.

• Copper is an excellent conductor and balances heat distribution. Heat is distributed evenly everywhere.

• Copper prevents the production of ethyl carbamate, a toxic compound.

• Copper improves the final product quality and reduces unpleasant odors.

In conclusion, the copper still is an indispensable part of the distillation process and has been used as a traditional method for a very long time. Although new materials such as stainless steel have been introduced to the market, copper will always be the most efficient choice due to its durability and positive effects on distillation quality.

Steel or glass stills do not offer the advantages that copper provides; therefore, choosing steel or glass stills solely based on their appearance can reduce your distillation efficiency.
