Wow thank you 🙏

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

Interesting to watch. And interesting to know that if you have abundant plant material a copper essential oil still might even pay for itself over time. 🌿🥀🍃

[@HeidiVillegas]

I think it could. At the very least, if "something happens" it may be helpful to have for a number of different kinds of distilling. :-)

[@hopebloomsbotanicals]

Love this Heidi! I have dreamed of distilling my own herbs for at least almost 2 decades! The distillers have come a long way and the prices have come down comparatively to back "when." Great video!

[@thinkathena2]

Your videos are costing me money!!! Now, here's another item I didn't know I needed until now 😂. Honestly, I've learned so much from you - thanks for all you do and share ❤️

[@HeidiVillegas]

Thank you so much, Athena! Although---I don't want to cost you money! LOL Remember--you can distill with kitchen equipment you already have, although you won't get essential oil, per se---just lovely hydrosol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ61nn2Jba6Fn9E

[@maurafornataro3911]

@@HeidiVillegascan’t agree more! I have learned so very much from you!! I use aromatics international and I love their oils and hydrosols . Wanting to get some resins next time!

[@velvia7880]

I have two of their stills. The design is very practical and easier to use than alembics that need rye flour paste or tape to seal.

[@HeidiVillegas]

100% agree with this!

[@choicesinhealing5297]

I have this distiller and haven't used it yet. This is very helpful.

[@lindastephen-seaver6345]

Where did you get the still from

[@HeidiVillegas]

I'd love if you'd give feedback on your experience here to help me and others. I'm just learning, so I'm very interested in others' distilling too!

[@NicoleRetuta]

I love that blue essential oil and hydrosol color! :D Just gorgeous! The other 2 blue colored EO’s I like is German Chamomile and Blue Tansy! :D

[@HeidiVillegas]

Me too!

[@livin_life_321]

Amazing video! I think I need to get a still ! Beautiful results! Thank you for showing us how the still works.

[@HeidiVillegas]

You're so welcome! I'm kind of getting addicted to my stills--I'm gathering a little collection, LOL

[@onawingfarm9576]

Love your kitchen!!! Thank you for sharing 💜

[@HeidiVillegas]

Why thank you! It's an old 1930's cottage kitchen. Nothing special, but it works GREAT! :-)

[@mariaallevato6121]

That was amazing to see! I always wondered how it was done.

[@HeidiVillegas]

There are many ways to distill---and this one seems very efficient.

[@ellendavis9940]

Fantastic

[@HeidiVillegas]

Thank you!

[@gardenstatesowandsew]

I love that. Thank you for sharing

[@HeidiVillegas]

You're so welcome!

[@ChocolateBoxCottage]

I heard you say the still is from Ukraine. Can you share the name of the company or a link?

[@HeidiVillegas]

Hi, Michele! Yes, it's from a company called Copper Pro. The owner has a few videos here on KZbin, as well. One thing I didn't check out, and I must do this...is what kind of metal he uses for the solder. I was reading Ann Harmon's book on hydrosols and she mentioned that she had purchased a still that was soldered with lead YIKES! So, I need to check into this with this company. Copper Brothers (where I get my alembics) doesn't use lead.

[@cookiewilcox5082]

What size distiller did you use in this video?

[@HeidiVillegas]

This is the small model---very compact. I think it's 2 liters?
