Why Copper Is The Best Preferred in Stills?

• Technically speaking, stills can be made of many
  materials including stainless steel, copper,
  brass, or aluminum. Most are stainless steel or
  copper. Depending on who you ask, the answer to
  the question, Why are stills made of copper? is
  taste.
• If you are looking for the best still in the
  market, we have copper reflux still for you.

26 Gallon Moonshine Still With 4" Copper Reflux
Column
The reflux still does multiple distillations in
one single run by having packing in the tower
which allows vapor to condense and drop down back
through the packing. Many distilleries make use
of reflux stills to produce Vodka.

Copper imparts flavor into the distilled spirits
and hence is the preferred material in the
construction of a still. Both copper and
stainless steel are excellent conductors of heat
creating a more even distillation by dispersing
the heat evenly across the entire surface of the
metal. When distilling in copper, the copper
reacts on a molecular level by eliminating the
sulfurs out by the fermenting yeast. It drives
out the sulfur taste which would otherwise taste
better and be not as smooth.

The Process of Copper Distillation
In the distilling process, the sulfur emerging
from the yeast binds itself to the copper,
creating hydrogen-sulfide which in turn, produces
copper sulfate. The copper sulfate sticks to the
inner part of the still after distillation is
over. After a thorough cleaning of the copper
still, the copper sulfate gets washed down the
drain, and not in the whiskey unlike other stills
made from different metals.

Other properties which make copper optimal for
turning your mash into tasty moonshine

• The most important and distinctive property
  of copper is it reacts with alcohol on a
  molecular level. The chemical reaction produced
  then removes the sulfur compounds, which
  eliminates an off taste and an unappealing smell
  in your end product.
• The electrical conductivity and high thermal
  properties of copper are ideal for efficient
  cooling of the vapors and even heat distribution.
  
• Copper is corrosion resistant under humidity
  fluctuations and extreme temperatures. So stills
  made from copper can sustain long without getting
  corroded or degraded in shape.
• Copper is also scientifically proven to have
  antimicrobial effects. It can destroy a wide
  range of bacteria and viruses.
