This differs depending on the material you use. But a good guide is as follows:Rosemary - Use 300 g of rosemary leaves and 3.65 litres of water (don't fill over the max amount). Turn the Air Still on, collect the distillate (preferable in fractions). We recommend collecting no more than 80% (3 litres) otherwise it will boil dry and cook the rosemary.You will collect 3 litres of hydrosol (water/flavour) and a small amount of oil on top - the essential oils. Use a pipette to collect the essential oil. If you're going to make alcohol from this afterwards, boil 2-3 lots of water through it first otherwise your alcohol will smell like rosemary.How do I distil water?Before use, clean the inside of the still and fill it with clean water to the 4 litre line which is marked on the inside. Make sure that no water is spilt on the outside of the body and ensure that both electrical sockets are clean and dry.Fit the top cover of the still in place and plug the fan lead into the socket in the still body.Place a 4 litre collection jug under the outlet nozzle.Press the reset button on the base of the still.Connect the main power cord between the still and the mains power socket.Turn on the mains power socket switch.You will hear the fan in the top cover of the still start.It will take about 1½ hours for the water to heat up.Once distillation starts, water will begin to drip into the collection bottle.The still will take about 10 hours to distil off the 4 litres (1 US gallon) .The power supply reset switches off automatically when the distillation is completed.You will need to press the reset button on the base of the still before you next use it.After distillation the water needs to be polished. We recommend filtering the distilled water through a Still Spirits Air Still Carbon Filter.In New Zealand, home distillation of alcohol is completely legal without a license.For all Australian customers, you can legally own a 5 liter capacity still (such as this air still) for the distillation of water or essential oils, without a license and without breaking the law. Please note however, it is ILLEGAL for you to distill alcohol in Australia WITHOUT an excise manufacturers license! We STRONGLY suggests you check the legalities of your country before purchasing distillation equipment.
