This Alchemist model copper still is based on ancient Moorish traditions and is widely used in the Iberian Peninsula. This distillation system has a large steam chamber (the arabic-style helmet) and a direct tube to the condensation vessel, determining the largest amounts of distillation obtained in each process. In the production of this still, we use copper of the highest quality and of strong thickness. We also use high purity tin and copper solder in the joints, thus allowing a lead free construction. This still model can be used to distill alcoholic beverages, essential oils and flower essences. This unit includes a special wooden base with iron supports and a special alcohol burner. Besides being a fantastic decorative apparatus, this set is prepared to be used for the distillations. PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to purchase this alembic still with our spring thermometer application (available in our section "accessories"), you must purchase the alembic still at the same time of the thermometer. Copper Sieve Trays for this model are also available in our section "Accessories".
