Thank you for this video! You guys are such a sweet family! Camomile hydrosol helps immensely with skin conditions, I am no doctor but I treat my baby's atopic dermatitis with it and it always relieves and heals the skin 💛
This is fantastic as we have been looking for information on this. I shall check for soem videos of you using this with herbs as that is what we are excited to try. Great video!
You guys are a bundle of joy. Smiled throughout watching your vlog. Warm wishes from London. It's New Years eve so wishing you all the very best in the New Year 2024.
Safe travels Mark!!!! Have a wonderful visit with your family!!! The distilling is very interesting!! Wish we had smellivision to enjoy the wonderful citrus!!!! Thanks for sharing, have a great week and stay safe!!
Thank you for sharing this video. My husband bought me one for Christmas and now I have a ton of lavender to make oils. I love the in depth instructions
If you want to steam distill, you will put your oranges in the thump keg part and then your condenser. You don't have to worry about scorching the orange peels.
Hi, I’m back again, I cannot believe I am the last comment on this video. This was very informative. I’m finally about to make some essential oils cause I have a bunch of peels and I came back to reference your video considering there’s still none on TH-cam. You should have more views, likes and comments.
Really useful video and impressive that you still respond to comments a year later! Would you happen to know the diameter of the tubing (for the cooling system and for the final product)? The kit I ordered doesn't seem to include it and I'd like to have all the bits ready if possible. Thanks!
You can find the pumps at the second hand stores(aqaurium pumps or decor fountain pump) cheap then get hosing at hardware store if does not come with. Our goal is to always respond. backs the goal of sharing with others.
Just a home cook here, but I would think you could just use in cooking. Of course depends on what your distilling, for example oregano - add to pasta water, or pan frying veggies to flavor
Hi, I can’t really make the hydrosol. They came water but different smells, tried dry roses, frangipani, and hibiscus all dry (separately) the water I collected it doesn’t have a nice smell, can be the Temperature? I wait 30minutes and still not hydrosol coming out. Do you keep the same T* all the process? How much water radio per dry flowers? Please hope you have time to help me out 🌹🫶🏽
I take temp up to 200(maintain) and then the hydrosol comes out, about 8 litres of water to a full pot(I put grid in bottom to keep from burning on bottom)
Thank you so much for the video! I saw that you put roughly two jugs of blended orange peel and water, but the hydrosol is only one bottle. Do we have to stop collecting the hydrosol after one bottle or can we actually continue collecting until nothing comes out anymore?
Thank you both for doing this video as it was much needed. Like you, I can not make Alcohol beverages at home in South Carolina. I purchased the same size and style you have from Amazon for the purpose of producing Hydrolates and Distilled Water. However, the enclosed booklet did not provide info on how to set up distiller for either er r one of these functions. The only question I have now that was not covered in your video is; do you plug the extra hole where the Thumper Keg would go. If so, with what? Again, thanks for making this informative video.❤
Can't believe you said Catnip! I am watching the video to see if I want to buy this specifically to make catnip oil and hydrosol! I'd love to know how it turned out.
Amazing, The hydrosol is the best. Will be so worth it. Also Oregano is top of my list. Going to be doing Echinacea as well and donate to the cat shelters, works amazing on upper respiratory. Will also be adding to waterers(especially the chickens) for the animals to boost immune and preventative.
Now you got me started with wool and I really want to do this as well ❤I can hardly believe it’s you😂❤ THANKYOU for videoing and sharing !!!!! You can do your own Eucalyptus!!! We tried with a homemade backyard setup and not very successful- I would love your set up! No doubt I’ll be motivated now❤❤❤
I have the same Velvor set up as you, yet do not seem to have the black electric bit that circulates the cool water through the still part. Did that come with your kit or did you buy that separately?
Happy new year to you all from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. Came across you by accident thank god as no instruction with mine .there is a mullien bag would you know why x
This is great! I am vlogging a review of a smaller alternative manufacturer of the same rig 😊 You have inspired me to concentrate on essential oils as opposed to alcohol product 😊 Liked learning a little about your farm at the end too 👍✌️🤙 Hope you don't mind me referring to you in future videos 👍
I wasn’t expecting such a quick response, and I went with a vinegar wash. I’ve cleaned it with warm soapy water, I’m now soaking the copper pipes in the stainless steel pot in a 50/50 vinegar water solution, I’ll do this for 2-4hrs, ill then connect everything (I have no thumper) and I’ll end with a dry (no water in condenser) steam with the same solution the pipes soaked in. It may be over kill for essential oil distillation, but I’ve already used the vinegar so I feel I have to finish the process. Thanks for your reply, I’m guessing you’ve had no issues just washing it, I think it’s only important to do a vinegar wash if the pipes are welded as the flux can be dangerous, however the vevor has compression piping. Take care , love the videos 👍
It is hereditary, not fungal and my cureall is getting pregnant. LOL I was done after 2 kids so I have learned to live with it, easier than having kid after kid, hehe. Now to help with it I use lanolin.
Interesting, I’ve had mine for a year and a half and I reached out to them about how to make the essential oils using their distiller and they never responded.
If you put it in the freezer, the hydrosol will freeze and the oil will sit on top.
Smart and easy
Thanks for sharing this.

Nature holds the power, did you use the pineapple weed(stronger variety of chamomile)
I have not! But I will check and order some! Thank you! 💛
I tuned in for the still action and enjoyed the animals immensely! What a lovely farm. Fun video, thanks for sharing. You two have a ton of work!
Thank you we love sharing it with you all
Use lots of ice (blocks is great) in your water that cools the coil. It increases the yield of hydrosol and oils.
good idea
This is fantastic as we have been looking for information on this. I shall check for soem videos of you using this with herbs as that is what we are excited to try. Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
You guys are a bundle of joy. Smiled throughout watching your vlog. Warm wishes from London. It's New Years eve so wishing you all the very best in the New Year 2024.
LOL Love it, we do have fun.
I want to understand how to do both methods. Your video is helpful thank you 😊
Safe travels Mark!!!! Have a wonderful visit with your family!!! The distilling is very interesting!! Wish we had smellivision to enjoy the wonderful citrus!!!! Thanks for sharing, have a great week and stay safe!!
Thank you, I'll work on the smell of vision 😊

Thank you very much. Fascinating and well narrated.
I'm so excited to do this! I just ordered the 3 gallon one
Have fun

You are right about the scorching, no need for heat, just steam!
Thank you for this! I bought it, can't wait to use it 😊
Hope you like it!

Welcome back!
I believe you can put the organic material in the thump also.
I''m happy to have your video before bedtime. Will look. 🙂
Good night

I own a kevar 5 gallon kettle still love I run alcohol of course I’ll check oils
I love your hair. Besides u r so knowledgeable about everything.
I appreciate that, I love my hair too.
Distilling is very interesting.
how would you use the hydrosol in cooking or whatever? new to all of this and trying to educate myself accordingly.. thank you 😊
Sure can and as a spray
@@The10AcreWoodsim sorry?? i was asking HOW to use in cooking.. could you please provide an example?

Yes you can! just make sure not burning to bottom of pot and it will get weaker towards the end
@@The10AcreWoods Thank you! Also, may I ask how many oranges did you use?
I'm just guessing any alcohol could be introduced after the oils are distillled...to make the oil easier to apply to your skin like as a cologne?
sure we just use straight up

The thumper keg goes in line with the cooling and kettle.

Do cats like Echinea?

Very excited to get under way this spring, collecting and processing.
Hello! Great video. When I distill rosemary/lavender etc, can I grind them (like the orange peels) and heat directly to extract more oil?
I am sure you can
I have the same Velvor set up as you, yet do not seem to have the black electric bit that circulates the cool water through the still part. Did that come with your kit or did you buy that separately?
The pump came with the kit, I would contact them and let them know you didn't receive it or if it's an older unit you can pick up a small pump.
Happy new year to you all from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. Came across you by accident thank god as no instruction with mine .there is a mullien bag would you know why x
Read thru the recipe book, may be used for adding flavor to certain brews
Thank you for the reply.No booklet no recipe book x
This is great! I am vlogging a review of a smaller alternative manufacturer of the same rig 😊 You have inspired me to concentrate on essential oils as opposed to alcohol product 😊 Liked learning a little about your farm at the end too 👍✌️🤙
Hope you don't mind me referring to you in future videos 👍
You are going to get alot more people interested with the distilling of essential oils, welcome to share our video, if any questions always here
@@The10AcreWoods thank you, it's been an interesting start to this, I hope you will find my experiments interesting and fun too 🙂
Hi I have purchased this do I need to get a pump to?
Pump should come with it
@@The10AcreWoods hmmm mine was not in it
I would contact the seller and inform them
Can I ask how you cleaned the still the first time you used it. 🙂
Plain water
I wasn’t expecting such a quick response, and I went with a vinegar wash.

you bet, love interacting with viewers, have fun
Can you use this for making oils using isopropyl alcohol?
We make oils with out
Thank you this was so kool 🎉
You are so welcome!
Alcohol can be used for medicinals, if not illegal?????
Do you have a treatment for your fungal infection on your skin? It looks very painful.
It is hereditary, not fungal and my cureall is getting pregnant. LOL I was done after 2 kids so I have learned to live with it, easier than having kid after kid, hehe. Now to help with it I use lanolin.
Hello gud evening how much is this machine and do you ha e this machine in Uganda plz can you tell me the agent
Good afternoon, please visit the Vevor website or download their app for availability and locations
How do you call the machine name
Stainless steel Still
Interesting, I’ve had mine for a year and a half and I reached out to them about how to make the essential oils using their distiller and they never responded.
We just figured out on our own

@@The10AcreWoods thank you!
Vevor has good quality

Suggestion put ice in your sink water and your essential oil yield will be higher.
