First question: does anyone know why 5star's crazy beautiful stills are done in ss and not copper? My info to date strongly suggests there are positive benefits from coppers interactions down the line. :think:

They're made from SS 304 for the reasons Sam has already suggested, and also because of price, I'll bet you'd need an ambulance if you seen the price tag on the same gear made professionally from copper 8-}
The 5 Star equipment has more than enough copper components in the vapor path (where it counts) to deal with sulphide removal, and I know this because I'm one of the rare suppliers that actually use the equipment I've developed and offer for sale ;-)

I mean nothing wrong with dreaming thats how great things happen but if I was gunna start a micro distillery I would spending as much time in the shed at hobby scale mastering my skills before I even thought about going commercial as doc has said the returns are modest at best. Ya dont just jump from a 5l pot still to a commercial size brewery and expect to be any good The world is a competitive place why not consider mastering a hobby scale first just my two cents had a few tonight been thinking this awhile

This is also a dream of mine but something I'm not planning of seriously considering for many moons, I just wanted to look into getting the same style still on a much smaller scale. :handgestures-thumbupleft:
