Junior might not be shiny copper on the outside, but we’ve got a ton of it where it counts - on the inside. Just one of those tiny rings is almost 1.25 square inches of copper. Basically we put a whole copper still into the first few inches of our column! #ProjectJunior #distilling #copperWhereItActuallyCounts (at Industry City Distillery)
Where’s your pot still?
Yep, we don’t own a pot still. Sure, we have a still and it has a “pot” boiler, but that’s where the similarities begin to decline. When we started Industry City Distillery, the goal from day one was to create vodka, so we commissioned equipment to do just that.

Vodka has a few legal requirements that make it “vodka”, but the most important one is the proof that it’s distilled to, and you just can’t do it efficiently with a pot still. Here we’ll look at how pot stills work, why they’re a bad match for vodka, and what other options are out there.
Chris Parker made this video for the distillery back when we were still producing our 375ml test batches. Still just as true as it’s ever been.
