Would love to see a video on distilling water

[@michaelgrove822]

how the fuck do you think the copper saddles are gonna stay in the top without the others to support it?

[@SteveHertig]

What temp for oil from water extraction?

[@SouthpawStudiosCraftBrewery]

Could you do a video on how to distill water ive set outlet temp at various temps but can only get distilled flow at 97+ oC

[@henryserboff8874]

I get at 99.3 and very very slow...

[@airbomzairbomz3356]

@@henryserboff8874 would like to know your method

DJ Fastrax wow, glad i found this! I was wasting time doing what the factory said to distill at 55c. Ha, in their dreams. Based on the comments above i let the temp climb to 90c and got a bit. At 95c steady amount. Above 95c i got sputtering steam. Running nice at 94.9c. Thanks guys! I never would have gotten any thing down where stillspirits said to do it.

[@MthoodSailor]

Forgot to mention this 94.9c worked at 4000’ elevation. Sealevel likely different.

[@gerhardjoubert2108]

@@MthoodSailor I tried that but as soon as I get to 97 98 warm water push through the temp probe locating hole

Hey!!! Richard answer the questions, what temperature is the column? do you have to run water thru the column to control it?

[@gerhardjoubert2108]

No his not replying at all but I dont believe you can make distilled water as he put it I have try it today water temp from 40 to 95 no drips. If you turn to cooling water down temp go up to and then hotwater start pushing through the temp prope hole. No water dripping

[@timbosam]

@@gerhardjoubert2108 hey thanks for the reply, well done, as they say about Richard's (DO CLOSE THE DOOR ON ME DICK)

[@ffwast]

@@gerhardjoubert2108 have you tried disconnecting the water supply from cooling the column and just running the condenser like a pot still? If I'm understanding it correctly your water vapor could be trapped in the column as reflux,since all the countertop water distillers I've seen listed are air-cooled pot stills.

[@gerhardjoubert2108]

@@ffwast not tried that but will give it try and give some feedback

Im just interested in the essential oil stilling. Do the saddles stay in or not?

[@Thatoneguy884]

he said take them out i believe

[@keitaburrell3871]

Have you tried it? I think out looking at the proper oil stills and so you don't stink up your packing for when you make your drinks.
