26 Gallon Copper 4 Inch Diameter Mile Hi Flute – 6 Sections Moonshine Still with a 4″ diameter copper column and 3″ Sight glass allows you to see all the action. This column includes 6 copper sections with copper perforated plates and down comers for each section. This completely modular still allows you to run 3,5,8 sections to give you as much or as little reflux as you desire. Complete with shotgun condenser, dephlegmator, and a parrot to see proof and percentage of alcohol real-time throughout the run.
The sectional design copper flute moonshine still allows the distiller to remove copper plates and run as a stripping still or a pot still to carry over flavor. Or add all plates and sections to run high percentage 190 proof for vodkas. You can easily add a 360 degree sight glass with screened gasket to be used as a gin basket or an infusion chamber. Infuse the vapor with flavor for a gin, or spiced whiskey or more flavor in a brandy. Make infused vodkas. Add a packed column extension for more reflux. This still as total versatility.

Our still got stuck at NZ customs for weeks. We eventually got a notice after inquiring about the delay asking us for “a description of the content of the shipment” (together with a neat handwritten note in brackets explaining the request: “This means: What is this?” We were howling with laughter thinking of the baffled faces when they started unpacking the parts! A weapon, a zol pipe…?
Yes, the 26 gallon 4″ 6-plate flute still is a thing to behold. We named her Ella, after my late mom. There is not a single photo that does this piece of art any justice, it is simply beautiful and the craftsmanship is amazing.
We are so proud to own one of your stills and looking forward to a long an happy relationship with Mile Hi. And kudos for your customer services – it is outstanding.
After receiving this still, setting it up and giving it its first run I can say that this thing is far better than I hoped it would be. The build quality and finish is really incredible! There is nothing about this rig that feels as though a corner was cut and the attention to detail really comes though in the look and feel. Aside from it being an industrial thing of beauty, it performs exactly as you would hope for something at this price point. The only thing that surprised me a bit was just how large it is assembled in person. I have it on a dolly with 4” castors and the whole thing stands around 8’ tall. The description is accurate with dimensions but in person you really appreciate its size. It runs great with a single 5500 watt element BTW. I was concerned about that, but it takes under an hour to heat it up to operating temp and load the bubble plates. Highly recommended!!!!
I must say I did take two months to get it. But I’ll tell you what this thing is stellar. The craftsmanship is unbelievable. I received everything in my package. No damage everything was packed very well. This damn thing is a work of art.
