"CopperGarden®" Alquitara Still 50 Liter

This still, with its centuries-old tradition—following the same principle that even Leonardo da Vinci used—consists of a meticulously riveted boiler made of three components and a large top-mounted condenser with a long spirit tube that exits at a practical height. Today, excellent brandies and schnapps are distilled using this simple principle, especially in Southern Europe.

Since the distillate condenses right after vaporization at the condenser, very aromatic results can be achieved in alcohol distillation. For the same reason, the ALQUITARA is also well-suited for the distillation of hydrolats and essential oils from delicate flowers and plants, such as roses. The valuable ingredients and aromas are safely and reliably transported to the condenser during a pot distillation, where they condense and can be conveniently directed into a receiving vessel or suitable container. You will love it.

The "CopperGarden®" ALQUITARA stills are made entirely of copper with practical brass handles. Copper is the best material for all distillations, as it acts as a catalyst and provides reliable protection against contamination. Your distillates will have a longer shelf life and a more harmonious flavor.

<h2>Are you allowed to distill with a 50 liter still?</h2> <p><strong>Germany: </strong>This still is subject to double registration requirements in Germany. This means that you, as a private individual, are allowed to purchase and use this still for the distillation of essential oils and hydrolats. No special permit is required, but you must register the purchase with your local customs office within three days. A simple letter with your address and a statement of what you intend to distill and where (no alcohol!) is sufficient. As a dealer, we are also obliged to register your purchase within three days at our main customs office in Gieu00dfen (Hesse), which we will do.</p> <p><strong>Austria &amp; Switzerland:</strong> In Austria and Switzerland, this still is also subject to registration and cannot be used privately for alcohol distillation. However, there is a 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 on the outside of the package, so that Swiss customs can correctly calculate and charge you for taxes and fees related to the import. Often, during shipping and customs processing via DHL, no one notices that it is a still that requires registration. Nevertheless, according to the law, you are obligated to register the still and are not permitted to distill alcohol privately, and we have promised Swiss customs that we will explain this to all our customers in Switzerland.</p> <p><strong>European Union: </strong>Thanks to the liberal EU internal trade law, we are allowed to ship to all EU countries from Germany without customs registration. Please check the laws in your home country. When you order this still from us, we can send it to you within a few days without any formalities via GLS or DHL.</p> <p><strong>Worldwide Shipping: </strong>For shipments outside the EU, we are required to attach a copy of the invoice on the outside of the package so that customs in your home country can accurately calculate and charge their fees and taxes. Please verify before purchasing this still whether you are allowed to own and use it in your home country. In most cases, shipping is not an issue, but some countries have strict laws against possessing a still. We can ship the still, but we cannot take responsibility for the authorities and their actions in your home country.</p> <p>If you would like to order and your country is not listed in our shipping address country list, please contact us at info@destillatio.com. There may be shipping issues, or perhaps we can work together to find a solution or explain the shipping problem related to your country.</p> <h2>Important to know:</h2> <p>In Germany and Austria, stills with up to two-liter boilers are not subject to registration, and in Switzerland, you can purchase stills up to 3 liters without registration.</p> <p>Click here for a selection without registration:&nbsp;<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>
