Has No Life - Lives on TB
I have wanted/needed a steam distilling set up for a while. I grow a lot of my own herbs and medicinals and would like to extract them myself rather than continuing to buy them. Since fed gov is seeing fit to throw more money our way, I was looking into filling that last gap in my preps for that area.
I can get the lab glassware but I'd prefer something sturdier. I've seen the smaller copper and stainless steel stills at good prices. Has anyone used them for herbs? Is it feasible to add a stainless steel sieve/colander to the center of the large container so that the herbs are above the water and not in direct contact with the heat? I'm looking at a 3 gallon still.
