EZ Kit Bare - You Solder Copper Distillers Kit
Lifetime warranty · Hand built in Pittsfield, NH · Checkout is handled securely by our sister store MoonshineStills.com.
The EZ Kit Bare is a you-solder copper distillers kit for builders who want the lowest-cost way into a real copper distiller. We do the hard shop work. The copper is cut and shaped into cylinders, not sent as flat stock. You get the formed copper body parts plus copper pipe and tubing, ready to clamp and solder at home. That is all. Solder, flux, clamps, tools, torch, gaskets, seals, gauges, fittings and accessories are not included, so you source those yourself.
This kit is for hands-on folks who already know how to solder copper and want the most savings or a custom setup. Think of it as an alchemist's starter project: the copper is shaped, and your torch does the rest. American Copper Works builds with thick 20 oz, 22 gauge American copper, much heavier than the thin copper on cheap imported stills. Need lead-free silver solder? Find it in our still parts and accessories. Want a finished still instead? See our complete moonshine still kits.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly comes in the EZ Kit Bare?
You get the formed copper body components and the copper pipe and tubing. The copper is pre-cut and shaped into cylinders, ready to clamp and solder. Nothing else is included, so you supply the solder, flux, clamps, tools, torch, gaskets, seals, gauges and fittings.
Do I need soldering experience to build this kit?
Yes. This kit is made for people who are already comfortable soldering copper, because you do all of the soldering and sealing yourself. If you have never soldered or want a plug-and-play still, this kit is not the right fit. For questions, call the owner at 1-502-337-3944.
Is it legal to build and own a still?
Under US federal law, it is legal to buy and own a still of any size and use it for distilled water, essential oils and similar non-alcohol uses. Distilling alcohol to drink at home is not legal without a federal permit from the TTB, even for personal use, though a free TTB fuel alcohol permit lets you make ethanol for fuel. State and local laws vary and can be stricter, so check yours; we don't give legal advice.
