Congratulations! Your desire to distill your garden into beautiful hydrosols is a rewarding adventure. Distilling is a relaxing way to further connect with plants, chemistry, magic and the art of alchemy. You’ll love using floral waters distilled with your love and intention. Distilling for hydrosols is a sustainable practice and the resulting aromatic waters are a beneficial luxury to any self-care routine.

Copper stills have been used for hundreds of years both for pharmacopoeia and home use. Copper is not only beautiful, it’s durable, resistant to corrosion and is a superior heat conductor. Copper stills remove the yeast and Sulphur that can make hydrosols smell off. Copper is known for its anti-microbial properties and may have some preservative effect on the hydrosol. Hydrosols distilled on copper have a sweeter aroma and are useable immediately. No need to wait for the still note to disappear, which can take several months.; when dealing with a perishable product this is important.

Copper stills are meticulously handcrafted in Portugal, the still manufacturing capital of the world. Copper stills are crafted from a thick grade copper, CE certified and built to last for generations. All stills have riveted seams and welds are done with copper or brass.

I love distilling and started out years ago on a small stainless steel. I thought I would purchase my first copper still and test the waters, I haven’t returned to stainless steel since. Copper is so pleasantly beautiful and develops a gorgeous patina through use. With proper care your new copper still will last a life time and provide equal amounts of joy.

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ALCHEMY COPPER STILLS
