"CopperGarden®" 20 Liter Column Still
This extremely versatile still can do it all, as it features a large removable column with an integrated sieve made of polished copper. You can choose to distill with or without the wonderful column attachment. We deliver the still with a boiler boasting a capacity of over 20 liters, meticulously hand-soldered from three parts to ensure permanent sealing, the perfectly fitting column with approximately 8 liters of volume, the integrated sieve, the beautifully shaped aroma hat with the smoothly tapering vapor tube (swan neck attachment), an additional spacer tube for height adjustment, and the generously sized cooling kettle with cooling water inlet and outlet, equipped with expanded safety fittings.
The "CopperGarden®" column still is extremely versatile and is excellent for distilling plant waters and essential oils of the highest quality through the so-called carry-over distillation with water. Simply fill the column up to the hat with your choice of plant material. For your safety, we recommend ordering a piece of copper mesh to bend in front of the vapor tube in the hat to prevent any plant parts from entering and clogging the tube. Fill the boiler approximately two-thirds with water and heat it quickly. Once it begins to boil, the steam rises through your plant material, carrying essential oils, fragrances, flavors, and other compounds into the condenser, where you can cool it with cold water and collect it in a container.
Without the attached column, you can also distill delicate and sticky materials, such as rose petals, directly from the boiler, allowing you to produce fresh rose water of the highest quality.
Of course, the still can also distill alcohol in various ways. As previously mentioned for steam distillation, you can fill the column with an aroma carrier of your choice, such as juniper with your favorite spices, and distill excellent real London dry gins using neutral alcohol. The column is better suited than any other still for flavoring alcohol, that is, for spirit distillation.
However, you can also fill the column with Raschig rings or small glasses and distill any alcohol to extreme high proof and flavor neutrality. This will yield beautifully clear vodkas, Korn, neutral spirits, or other purified alcohols, which you can then use as a base for spirit distillation.
And if you wish to distill your own mash? Simply remove the column and distill wonderfully aromatic fruit brandies, as well as whiskey and brandy, using a short steam path.
You see, thousands of possibilities remain, depending on what you are allowed or wish to do, but you should know one thing: the still is subject to registration! You are not allowed to distill alcohol privately in Germany or Switzerland, and in Austria, you may only distill essential oils, hydrolates, or spirits using purchased and taxed alcohol. If you have any questions, we are happy to assist you, and you are welcome to admire this still in our showroom and compare it with other models and sizes.

<h2>Are you allowed to distill with a 20 Liter Still?</h2> <p><strong>Germany:</strong> This still is subject to dual registration requirements in Germany. This means you may also acquire and use this still as a private individual for the distillation of essential oils and hydrolates. You do not need a permit, but you must register the purchase with your responsible main customs office within three days. A simple letter with your address and a declaration of what you intend to distill and where (no alcohol!) is sufficient. We, as the retailer, are also obliged to report your purchase to our main customs office in Gieu00dfen (Hesse) within three days, which we will do.</p> <p><strong>Austria & Switzerland:</strong> This still is also subject to registration in Austria and Switzerland and may not be used privately for alcohol distillation; however, there is one difference: We must report the sale to Austria, but not for sales to Switzerland. When shipping to Switzerland, we must attach a copy of the invoice to the outside of the package (as we do for all EU countries) so that Swiss customs can properly calculate and charge their import taxes and fees. Often, during shipping and customs clearance via DHL, no one notices that it is a still requiring registration; however, according to the law, you are still required to register the still and may not distill alcohol privately. We promised Swiss customs to explain this to all customers in Switzerland.</p> <p><strong>European Union:</strong> Thanks to the liberal EU internal trade law, we are allowed to ship from Germany to all EU countries without customs registration. Please check the laws in your home country. If you order this still from us, we can ship it to you within a few days as a GLS or DHL package without any formalities.</p> <p><strong>Worldwide Shipping:</strong> When shipping outside the EU, we are required to attach a copy of the invoice to the outside of the package so that customs in your home country can correctly calculate and charge their fees and taxes. Please check before purchasing this still whether you are allowed to own and use it in your home country. In most cases, shipping is not a problem, but some countries have strict laws against owning a still. We can ship the still, but we cannot take responsibility for authorities and their actions in your home country.</p> <p>If you would like to place an order and your country is not listed in our country list for shipping addresses, please contact us at info@destillatio.com. There may be shipping issues, or perhaps we can find a solution together or explain the shipping problem with your country.</p> <h2>Important to Know:</h2> <p>In Germany and Austria, stills with up to two liters of boiler capacity are not subject to registration, and in Switzerland, you may purchase stills up to 3 liters without registration.</p> <p>Click here for a registration-free selection: <a href="https://www.destillatio.eu/destille/destillen-zur-herstellung-aetherischer-oele-und-hydrolate/meldefreie-destillen-in-de-at-ch-fuer-aetherische-oele-kaufen" name="registration-free stills at Destillatio" target="_blank" title="registration-free stills at Destillatio">registration-free stills at Destillatio</a></p>
