Copper Parrot Parts

Using a parrot is the easiest, most convenient, and most reliable way to monitor and measure alcohol proof during distillation. This product works in conjunction with proofing hydrometers and allows for real-time monitoring of still output ABV.

With this kit, we supply all of the copper fittings needed to make a high quality, 100% copper parrot. You will need to supply a piece of wood for the base of the finished parrot. You will also need to drill an 11/16" hole into the piece of wood* to support the finished parrot.
