Son bought an essential oil still

Post by Bushman »

I built my own and have an antique stainless 5 gallon milk jug and offered to build him an essential oil still but he found one on line for about 4-5 hundred dollars and went ahead and purchased it. It’s all copper and shiny. Sometimes they just have to learn on their own. I will finish the one I started and use it for making gin.

My son bought me a separator and I received it today, looking forward to using it on my next essential oil run.

This is my build for essential oil. Haven’t got around to finishing my gin still.
