California Copper Creations

I was thinking about ordering my a Pot still from a place called California Copper Creations and was wondering if anyone had bought or hurd anything about them. Thanks!!

Their stuff is pretty & it is expensive. $450 - $2,000. They build 6-50 gal, with thumpers & flake stands. They have the adapters & clamps at a reasonable price.

I made a keg pot still with a Liebig & parrot. Probably have $200 in it. The best part is I learned a lot while building it. Made the still, made the hooch, double win!

HINT: read the forum! Keep it simple.

I see a couple of issues with their materials. Brass valves & silicon seals.

Nice looking stuff. Don't know them.

Missing order please respond as promised last week!
We ordered a 25gal still and after filling it up we realized we received a 20gal still. We received two boxes today it was a little dented up and a few of the welds had a few leaks in it from get go in the still and flake stand. We are missing many important parts. We did not receive the deluxe package we ordered. Deluxe Set up includes: Heating Element port, Element, wire, and adapter, 4" port on thumped, and Proofing parrot!

We are missing the Element, Wire, and Proofing parrot as well as any way to connect the three parts together.

The thump is missing connecters to the cap and or flake stand/worm and there is no extra copper pipe for the connections. There are a few other parts with no explanation that I'm unclear on.. a threaded 1/2" ball valve, 1/2" spigot (which one goes on which component).

Was this supposed to come with some type packing list and instructions for assembly?

I need to know what your planning to do regarding this missing order we have received no correspondence I spoke to you briefly you said you could not understand me and that you would respond on Thursday night that was 5 days ago.

This is horrible service and product very unsatisfied FL.

I have seen SOOOOOO many people get ripped off buying stills. I think the valuable lesson is JUST BUILD IT YOURSELF. You'll save money, probably learn some neat things, and you'll have a much greater understanding of your still after its done. You can also build it to whatever specs you want/need, and while your first one may not be as pretty, it'll likely work just as well and you know for a fact it is safe and lead/plastic free.
