Distilling
Part 1 - Safety and Tools
This video covers safety and lists the tools you will need to build copper distillation equipment. The tools needed for building a 1 gallon, 5 gallon, or 10 gallon still are roughly the same.
Part 2 - Parts List
This video covers all of the parts included with a Clawhammer Supply Copper "Moonshine Still Kit".
Part 3 - Prepping the Parts
This video covers prepping the parts to the build the still.
Part 4 - Shaping the Boiler
This video covers bending tabs on the boiler, shaping it, and securing it with copper rivets.
Part 5 - Soldering the Boiler
This video covers soldering the boiler wall seam and soldering the bottom into the boiler.
Part 6 - Vapor Cone And Cap
This video covers soldering the vapor cone and attaching the vapor cone to the boiler. It also covers building the cap plate and cap skirt assembly for the column and condenser. Note, if you have a 1 gallon kit, the process will be slightly different. See this guide for a few additional steps: http://www.clawhammersupply.com/pages/1-gallon-assembly-guide Come back to this page and continue with the videos to finish the 1 gallon still after reading the 1 gallon guide.
Part 7 - Collar, Column, & Condenser
This video covers installing the collar to the top of the vapor cone and soldering the entire column.
Complete Build of A Copper Moonshine Still
This video shows me building a 5 gallon copper distiller using a Clawhammer kit. Making the still took roughly 3 hours, but was condensed down to a bit less than 4 minutes for this time lapse video.
