Take Safety Into Your Own Hands
By Alchemist G. G. Wilkins
The people of Pittsfield often accused me of taking matters into my own hands.
To be fair, they were usually correct.
When I wanted customers, I stamped my name onto coins.
When I wanted attention, I placed a live bear outside Fort Wilkins.
When I wanted success, I built it myself.
That is why I have always believed that a person should never depend entirely upon others for the necessities of life.
Nothing is more important than clean water.
A man can survive without many things.
He cannot survive long without water.
The human body depends upon it. Water carries nutrients, regulates temperature, and supports every major system that keeps us alive. Without a reliable source of clean drinking water, even the strongest individual will eventually find himself in serious trouble.
Throughout history, contaminated water has been responsible for disease, suffering, and death. Entire communities have struggled because of unsafe drinking water.
That is why I admire the art of distillation.
A properly operated copper water distiller transforms water into one of life's most valuable resources: clean drinking water.
For centuries, distillation has been one of the most trusted methods of water purification. By converting water into steam and collecting the condensed vapor, distillation separates many contaminants from the final product.
The result is purified water suitable for drinking, cooking, and countless other uses.
One tool.
One essential purpose.
Yet that is only the beginning.
Most people believe a copper still exists solely for producing spirits.
That is because most people have never owned one.
A quality copper still can also be used for distilled water, essential oils, botanical extracts, perfumes, flavorings, and countless specialty products.
That versatility is what makes a still such a valuable investment.
Throughout my life, I was involved in more enterprises than most people could count. I traded furs. I sold remedies. I operated businesses. I stamped coins. I found myself arrested more than once over liquor matters. I was accused of things I did and things I most certainly did not do.
Some people thought I was brilliant.
Others thought I was completely insane.
Both groups kept talking about me.
What they could never accuse me of was being unprepared.
A quality copper still is a tool of preparation.
Every copper still built under the name Alchemist G. G. Wilkins is designed with durability, performance, and versatility in mind. Constructed from high-quality copper and assembled using lead-free silver solder, these stills are built to provide a lifetime of dependable service.
Copper remains the preferred material for distillation because it conducts heat efficiently and helps produce exceptional results. Combined with patented Flame-Flow™ technology, our handcrafted copper stills heat faster, use less fuel, and provide greater control throughout the distillation process.
The benefits are simple:
Faster heat-up times
Greater efficiency
Lower fuel consumption
Superior craftsmanship

Whether you are looking for a copper moonshine still, a water distiller, an essential oil still, or a versatile distillation system capable of serving many purposes, a quality copper still remains one of the smartest investments you can make.
The people of Pittsfield remembered me for the bear, the controversies, the courtroom drama, and the coins.
I would rather be remembered for helping people take safety into their own hands.
