Please allow 3-5 business days for us to fabricate the boiler/weld fittings into the boiler before shipping.
8 Gallon copper boiler – artisan made and exclusive to Mile Hi Distilling. All Boilers have a 8 inch opening which is standard for all Mile Hi distilling boilers so all lids are interchangeable. This 8 gallon copper milk can boiler includes domed lid size of your choice. The boilers are hammered just like a traditional Alembic still would be. Domed lid will be stainless in stock unit but the option for a copper lid can be added on. Please note that copper lids will be different in style and may require paste to seal correctly, just like Alembic would.

the old school clamp down lid gasket works better for the copper lid than the mile hi gasket. tested and seals every time, so no need for paste on the copper lid
Looking great!!
stunning cans. just like the old school alembics but modernized with ports for electric heat, drains, pressure release, and silicon sealed top. it is really thick tough copper. the copper lid doesn’t hold the seal like a stainless lid. it seems you set the seal perfectly on the boiler lip, then set the copper lid in place over it. look inside can, if you didn’t knock the seal out setting the lid on you should be good to go. besides the chance of dropping a seal in the can when installing/removing the copper lid, i can’t see any negatives. a stunning quality artisan boiler with perfect mile hi welds
