What to Know Before Jumping In
The Quickstart Guide to Choosing a Still
If you work with essential oils and/or hydrosols, you’re no doubt aware that plant distillation at home has become very popular.
If you’re intriged about plant distillation and starting to look for your first still, you’ll have questions..lots of questions!
This class will give you the opportunity to get your questions answered as I help to demystify all the equipment to consider before investing one penny.
My goal is to give you an overview of the different kinds of stills for different purposes as well as tell you about the variations on quality.
I want you to have an understanding of what is available and the confidence to choose the still that is right for your distillation goals.
In this 60-minute live-class replay, I cover:
The pros and cons of three types of still material; glass, stainless steel and copper (Note: I do give more attention to the copper-type of still since that is what I have personally used for 7 years and know best.)
The difference between alembic & alquitar copper stills
How to determine the size still you need
Some ways to determine the quality of a copper still, just by looking at a picture
How to find trustworthy suppliers
Specific questions you should be asking suppliers
In additional, you’ll get the following printable downloads:
A Chart to help you determine the size still you need
Questions to Ask your Still Supplier before buying from them
Questions to Ask your Distillation Teacher before studying with them
After taking this class, you’ll have the information you need
to make a confident and informed choice about your choice of still.
Note: This class covers stills and distillation in the context of producing hydrosols and essential oils, not alcohol.]
I can’t wait to see you in class!
