Does anyone know where I can buy a small essential oil still? I'm quite happy for a second hand one - mainly for making aromatic waters. Thanks

Well I have a little copper still now, that has been adapted from a Grappa still. You can see a picture of it on our website

I'm excited to use it and will start making some aromatic distilled waters when my garden herbs start growing. I would really like to get some information about how long to distill and how hot too. I saw Jo Nasr from Avicenna in Mid Wales distilling lavender water a couple of years ago and that is the basis of my knowledge. I have distilled a little in Italy with a bigger still for waters with rosemary and lavender and had some pretty good results aromatically, but wouldn't mind a little more information than trail and error. Also anyone been distilling indigenous wild plants like heather and gorse? I'm going to have a go and will post up the results in due course. Good fun.Posted 4 months ago #
