Derek’s training as a Master Chef has honed his appreciation for the food pairings and flavor profiles of fine wines, craft beers and distilled spirits.

Our Customers Speak:

“I highly recommend Copper Moon Stills. From design to completion, the craftsmanship and performance shine through.

Derek’s innovative approach can produce any kind of still you may want. He stands behind his stills and is willing to provide any help or guidance you need. Great still.”

“I purchased a three-barrel still from Copper Moon. At that time I knew very little about stills.  Derek did an excellent job building my still and even taught me how to use it. 

Derek knows Moonshining and is always available to answer any questions you have.

I would recommend Copper Moon Stills for any type still you may be interested in.  You will not be disappointed.”
