CopperGarden® 10 Liter Column Still – versatile copper distillation unit
The CopperGarden® 10 Liter Column Still is an exceptionally versatile still designed for demanding users. It combines classic alembic distillation with the capabilities of a modern aroma column, offering an extraordinarily wide range of applications.
Thanks to the removable column, the unit can be operated both as a traditional copper still and as a column still. This makes it equally suitable for producing aromatic distillates, extracting essential oils and plant waters – or for commercial applications requiring particularly pure distillates with higher alcohol content.
Distilling with or without a column
The special strength of this system lies in its flexibility. The copper still can be adapted to different distillation methods with just a few simple steps.
Classic distillation without column
Without the column, the unit operates like a traditional copper alembic. This design is especially suitable for aromatic distillations where as many aroma and flavor compounds as possible should be preserved.
Distillation with aroma column
With the column installed, plant material can be gently extracted using steam. The column can be filled with herbs, flowers or spices and is ideal for producing hydrolates, essential oils or flavored distillates.
Traditional copper still from European craftsmanship
The entire unit is made from solid copper and manufactured using traditional handcrafted methods. Copper has been the preferred material for stills for centuries because of its excellent thermal conductivity and its ability to bind unwanted sulfur compounds.
These properties result in particularly clean distillates with fine aromas. At the same time, copper allows very even heating of the mash, supporting controlled and stable distillation.
Well-designed construction for reliable results
The CopperGarden® column still consists of several perfectly matched components.
- Boiler with approx. 10 liter capacity for practical batch sizes
- Aroma column with aroma sieve for gentle steam distillation
- Precisely shaped distillation helmet for optimal vapor flow
- Screwed and widened vapor tube for a stable and secure connection
- Efficient cooling vessel with cooling coil for reliable condensation
All components are robustly manufactured and designed for a very long service life. The solid construction ensures reliable results and comfortable operation.
The ideal still for ambitious applications
With its 10 liter boiler, this unit offers sufficient capacity for larger distillation runs while remaining compact enough for use in a kitchen, workshop or laboratory.
Commercial users often use this column still as a versatile experimental system for producing aromas, hydrolates and aromatic oils, as well as for developing their own recipes and distillation methods.
Typical applications
- Distillation of essential oils from herbs and plants
- Production of hydrolates and aromatic waters
- Flavoring of distillates (gin and spirit distillation)
- Production of high-proof distillates
- Water distillation
- Experimental distillation processes
The CopperGarden® 10 Liter Column Still is therefore an especially versatile copper still for anyone who wants to produce high-quality distillates and work with different distillation methods.
