A War of Metals: Stainless Steel and Copper

For instance, stainless steel does not react with the liquor being produced within stills due to its acid-resistant nature

which thus prevents it from having any negative effects upon the spirit due to unwanted or unforeseen chemical

reactions (which is also the case for copper moonshine stills). For sale online, you’ll undoubtedly see stainless steel and copper

being largely the only two types of metal used to produce any quality designer copper moonshine stills for sale.

Unfortunately, there are several types of metals which cannot be utilized as part of a still due to unwanted chemical reactions between metals or between the metal and the liquid distilled

within; examples of these types of metals include lead, tin, and cast iron. If used as the base material for a whiskey still, these

metals will corrode during the distillation process and their corrosive products will be blended into the whiskey.

It is for this same reason that galvanised metals are never used during the distillation process. If galvanised metals are used, then the

resultant product will be tainted with lead and/or zinc, rendering the mixture toxic. Needless to say, drinking dangerous blends of corroded metal as part of your freshly brewed whiskey is extremely detrimental to your health and is one of the chief

reasons why companies who sell their own pot stills are quick to point out that they only sell stainless steel or copper moonshine stills.
