For the first science experiment in my new she shed laboratory, I am attempting to distill essential oil out of roses and basil plants.
This video shows how I set up the still, a few precautions to take and some I didnt take and ultimately shows my catastrophic failure.
This was my first attempt at distilling; I bought the cheap kit from ebay that comes with an electric burner but I swapped that out for a turkey frier, which I think was the beginning of my downfall..
This video was shot on my Sony Alpha a6600 sitting atop a DJI Ronin SC gimbal.
This link shows all of my kit for making youtube, and links you to where you may want to buy any of it: https://kit.co/randombilly/photograph...
