Do you have a Copper Still and feel unsure how to use it?
Join Sunshine for a full day Aromatic Distillation LAB where distiller participants (those who already have a copper still) will set up their equipment, harvest plants and run a distillation to make a hydrosol (and possibly some essential oil too) under expert guidance.
Participants will LEARN:
How to set up their still, including sealing, sanitizing, and collecting the hydrosol and separating the essential oils
Best practices for harvesting for potency and how to pack the plant material in the still for best extraction
How to monitor the distillation and yield, knowing when it is finished
Cleaning and maintaining the still between runs
How to properly store hydrosols and check for safety of use
This LAB is open to 6 individuals (DISTILLERS) to bring their own equipment to participate in the distillation. PLUS 6 more individuals (OBSERVERS) who are interested in buying a copper still for hydrosol production.
Once registered, DISTILLERS will receive an equipment list, and directions on how to prepare for the LAB. You will also have the opportunity to check in directly with me to make sure you are fully prepared for the day.
