Copper thickness and worm quesiton

[FCShiner83]

I'm doing some homework of wether I want to make my own still or buy one so I need some input of copper sheet thickness. I plan to use a turkey cooker for my heat which is propane so is 0.02 too thin? If so how bout 0.025? I just dont wanna melt nothin. Also what determines the diameter of the copper tubing you use for the cooling worm? I want to do this the old school way that my uncle did and the many men before him has done. Only gonna run corn likker off my still so I don't plan on using anything fancy.

Most people use a stainless steel beer keg. They cost just a little over $100 a piece on eBay. Sometimes you can find them for less on Craig's List. Some people find them at scrap yards/junk yards or metal recycling facilities.

Nope no stainless steel here for this guy, it's either copper or nothing.

@ FCShiner83,

Wish you luck in acquiring a Copper Still Boiler.
