Howdy! I'm Mol Still and I'm a copper and brass distilling still from the old Molson's Brewery plant here in Lethbridge. I was manufactured in the late 1930s and you think I probably worked real hard making old fashion brewski, don't ya? Well, I'm not that kind of distilling still! I was used in the Brewery's lab to distill water for their laboratory. I'm a copper vessel with a bottom kettle and a top collector. My brass tags state that the Federal Law makes it so I have to be registered with the U.S. Revenue Collector before I can be used. I don't know what that means, but I do know I haven't been used since I moved to the Galt in the early 1990s!
