By the way, I am a clinical aromatherapist and I do have 35 liter copper stills but I really like your small distillation unit because if we only have a small amount of plant material growing in our apothecary garden or we want to try a wild plant I forage, we can run a small amount to try the plant out. We'll be featuring your unit in some of our upcoming videos and of course in our Etsy shop. Great product!
I especially like that you provided scientific research papers to back up your claims. Thanks, I think your videos are so educational. Let me look into your company's products. I need more hair, who doesn't?
Thank you so much for explaining the separator set up, Leo. We will start sample distilling for our shop once the separator stand and clamp arrive later today. I appreciate your great service.
How about lilac next for a hydrosol? Lilac has calming effects, similar to lavender, and it can be used as a freshener for household linens and cottons.
Thank you for making this video. It was helpful to see the details of the cooling pump system. My plan this week was to make a rosemary hydrosol (with your distiller). I have lots of fresh rosemary I am wintering indoors and all of the plants need a trim. While I use fresh rosemary, should I fill the tin? I heard you mention 240 grams of dried rosemary- did that fill the tin? Thank you.
Hello, I was using dried rosemary leaves so it’s weight could be different from the fresh leaves when filled the column. You may want to cut the fresh leaves into small pieces. This can help increase extraction efficiency.
Yes. There are videos of extract lavender, chamomile, eucalyptus, oregano and many others. Please open my channel and watch those videos to know more about how to use LT3000 and learn benefits of different herbs.
If you just use water to soak rosemary and filter out, the tea wouldn’t last long even in refrigerator. You may need finish them in one day. One of Difference between tea and hydrosol is that hydrosol is distilled and sanitized so it is good to last long time.
Sometimes I find that hydrosols don't really smell like the plant they were extracted from. I recently made a batch of lemongrass hydrosol and before bottling, I was cooling it down and just gave it a sniff. It smells nothing like lemongrass
There can be a little difference between hydrosol and it’s plants. Lemongrass should be a good match with its extract. Do you use hydro or steam distillation?
