How To Distill Your Own Essential Oils and Farm Vlog -

Tara has loved her vast amounts of essential oils and she can now distill her own. During the summer we grow many things is the garden including plants used to make essential oils. As the garden is currently covered in snow, we decided to extract the essential oil out of oranges and the results were a great success. Come summer we will be making use of the plants that grow in our garden and will be using this distillation kit many more time by fall.

If you put it in the freezer, the hydrosol will freeze and the oil will sit on top.

Smart and easy

[@AntPDC]

Thank you very much. Fascinating and well narrated.

[@cindyboard7816]

Hope you like it!

[@HickorycroftFarm]

This is fantastic as we have been looking for information on this. I shall check for soem videos of you using this with herbs as that is what we are excited to try. Great video!

[@The10AcreWoods]

Glad it was helpful!

[@seekeroflight85]

Thank you for sharing this video. My husband bought me one for Christmas and now I have a ton of lavender to make oils. I love the in depth instructions

[@The10AcreWoods]

You are welcome, have fun 😊

I love your hair. Besides u r so knowledgeable about everything.

[@The10AcreWoods]

I appreciate that, I love my hair too.

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

Hi, I’m back again, I cannot believe I am the last comment on this video. This was very informative. I’m finally about to make some essential oils cause I have a bunch of peels and I came back to reference your video considering there’s still none on KZbin. You should have more views, likes and comments.

[@The10AcreWoods]

Welcome back!

[@fredkellogg6826]

I own a kevar 5 gallon kettle still love I run alcohol of course I’ll check oils

[@rzch6092]

You guys are a bundle of joy. Smiled throughout watching your vlog. Warm wishes from London. It's New Years eve so wishing you all the very best in the New Year 2024.

[@The10AcreWoods]

LOL Love it, we do have fun.

[@joadeyace1102]

I want to understand how to do both methods. Your video is helpful thank you 😊

[@saved2save7]

Now you got me started with wool and I really want to do this as well ❤I can hardly believe it’s you😂❤ THANKYOU for videoing and sharing !!!!! You can do your own Eucalyptus!!! We tried with a homemade backyard setup and not very successful- I would love your set up! No doubt I’ll be motivated now❤❤❤

[@The10AcreWoods]

Very excited to get under way this spring, collecting and processing.

[@JbunnyC]

I believe you can put the organic material in the thump also.

[@addiemaysdaughter1513]

Thank you both for doing this video as it was much needed. Like you, I can not make Alcohol beverages at home in South Carolina. I purchased the same size and style you have from Amazon for the purpose of producing Hydrolates and Distilled Water. However, the enclosed booklet did not provide info on how to set up distiller for either er r one of these functions. The only question I have now that was not covered in your video is; do you plug the extra hole where the Thumper Keg would go. If so, with what? Again, thanks for making this informative video.❤

[@The10AcreWoods]

The thumper keg goes in line with the cooling and kettle.

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

Use lots of ice (blocks is great) in your water that cools the coil. It increases the yield of hydrosol and oils.

[@The10AcreWoods]

good idea

[@tracybradshaw1362]

Vevor has good quality

[@The10AcreWoods]

Yes we are very pleased with it and the qaulity

[@KC-mw9gj]

interesting

[@radiobane]

This is great! I am vlogging a review of a smaller alternative manufacturer of the same rig 😊 You have inspired me to concentrate on essential oils as opposed to alcohol product 😊 Liked learning a little about your farm at the end too 👍✌️🤙 Hope you don't mind me referring to you in future videos 👍

[@The10AcreWoods]

You are going to get alot more people interested with the distilling of essential oils, welcome to share our video, if any questions always here

[@radiobane]

@@The10AcreWoods thank you, it's been an interesting start to this, I hope you will find my experiments interesting and fun too 🙂

[@tdhayes1]

Hello! Great video. When I distill rosemary/lavender etc, can I grind them (like the orange peels) and heat directly to extract more oil?

[@The10AcreWoods]

I am sure you can

[@pathowes32]

Safe travels

[@The10AcreWoods]

Thank you

[@healthinperspective]

I have the same Velvor set up as you, yet do not seem to have the black electric bit that circulates the cool water through the still part. Did that come with your kit or did you buy that separately?

[@The10AcreWoods]

The pump came with the kit, I would contact them and let them know you didn't receive it or if it's an older unit you can pick up a small pump.

[@patriciabowles1423]

Happy new year to you all from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. Came across you by accident thank god as no instruction with mine .there is a mullien bag would you know why x

[@The10AcreWoods]

Read thru the recipe book, may be used for adding flavor to certain brews

[@patriciabowles1423]

Thank you for the reply.No booklet no recipe book x

[@charleigh1860]

Can't believe you said Catnip! I am watching the video to see if I want to buy this specifically to make catnip oil and hydrosol! I'd love to know how it turned out.

[@The10AcreWoods]

Amazing, The hydrosol is the best. Will be so worth it. Also Oregano is top of my list. Going to be doing Echinacea as well and donate to the cat shelters, works amazing on upper respiratory. Will also be adding to waterers(especially the chickens) for the animals to boost immune and preventative.

[@trickynik12]

Do cats like Echinea?

[@nancyparker8363]

Alcohol can be used for medicinals, if not illegal?????

[@InjectMeSomeGlitter]

Where do you get the pump and why do we need it?

[@The10AcreWoods]

The pump circulates the cold water through the cooling tubes so the hot Steam can condensate and drip. You should be able to get a replacement pump from a pet store as it is a small aquarium pump.

[@joadeyace1102]

Can you use this for making oils using isopropyl alcohol?

[@The10AcreWoods]

We make oils with out

[@celsius418]

Can I ask how you cleaned the still the first time you used it. 🙂

[@The10AcreWoods]

Plain water

[@celsius418]

I wasn’t expecting such a quick response, and I went with a vinegar wash. I’ve cleaned it with warm soapy water, I’m now soaking the copper pipes in the stainless steel pot in a 50/50 vinegar water solution, I’ll do this for 2-4hrs, ill then connect everything (I have no thumper) and I’ll end with a dry (no water in condenser) steam with the same solution the pipes soaked in. It may be over kill for essential oil distillation, but I’ve already used the vinegar so I feel I have to finish the process. Thanks for your reply, I’m guessing you’ve had no issues just washing it, I think it’s only important to do a vinegar wash if the pipes are welded as the flux can be dangerous, however the vevor has compression piping. Take care , love the videos 👍

[@The10AcreWoods]

you bet, love interacting with viewers, have fun

[@francesfrances4485]

Do you have a treatment for your fungal infection on your skin? It looks very painful.

[@The10AcreWoods]

It is hereditary, not fungal and my cureall is getting pregnant. LOL I was done after 2 kids so I have learned to live with it, easier than having kid after kid, hehe. Now to help with it I use lanolin.

[@CopperHueCollectionsChippewa]

Interesting, I’ve had mine for a year and a half and I reached out to them about how to make the essential oils using their distiller and they never responded.

[@The10AcreWoods]

We just figured out on our own

[@efratRsari770]

Suggestion put ice in your sink water and your essential oil yield will be higher.

[@JbunnyC]

What size is that still?

[@The10AcreWoods]

5 gallon
