Distillation of essential oils

Now legal for everyone

Distillation equipment for theHerstellung Ätherischer Öle,  sowie Geisten aus Hydrolaten der Wasserdampfdestillation

The devices offered here may be legally purchased in Germany by private individuals without customs approval if they are not used for the production or purification of alcohol. Up to 2 litres capacity, these are also exempt from registration. For larger boilers, you must register them with your main customs office within 3 working days and swear that you will not use them for the production or purification of alcohol. Regardless of their size, never use the equipment with alcohol, not even with taxed alcohol. If you still wish to legally produce fruit or herbal spirits, use your distiller for steam distillation to flavour alcohol. You may legally distil hydrolates and essential oils. Then mix the hydrolate with clear, preferably tasteless alcohol (vodka, Primasprit). Since most essential oils are alcohol-soluble, you can use them, but only drop by drop. As a rule, you will already have a highly aromatic distillate, so it is best to remove the oil and use only the hydrolate. Experiment with the mixing ratio to find the right taste for you. Too much hydrolate can spoil the taste. For example, we have created a very good spirit from the hydrolate of a steam distillation of sage leaves during the first 15 minutes. For our taste, a volume ratio of 2 parts hydrolate, 3 parts 96% alcohol and 4 parts distilled water was optimal. If you prefer 40% alcohol, mix 1 part hydrolate with 2 parts 96% alcohol and 2 parts distilled water. This was also very tasty, although we personally preferred the first mixture. You can also purchase 96% Primasprit, taxed, from us. With a steam distiller and Primasprit, you can legally produce your favourite spirit. And along the way, you will discover – if you haven't already – your love for the scents of essential oils. You can find a good overview of various essential oils here: Essential oils.

 


GPSR information and manufacturer's instructions: 

Information about copper stills can be found at the end of the respective product descriptions.

The following information applies to all our stainless steel distillation devices

Hazard warning: When used properly, our stainless steel distillers do not pose any particular hazards. All our devices are designed so that high pressures cannot build up. However, you should be aware that all parts become hot during distillation. . We therefore strongly recommend wearing protective gloves and goggles during distillation, refilling and dismantling. When using gas stoves, only devices with a safety pilot flame should be used. Gas appliances used indoors must be approved for indoor use.

Please be careful and observe the downloadable operating instructions.

Option: Extension of the cooling length of the counterflow cooler from 3 m to 6 m

Extension of the cooling length of stills with a standard cooling length of 3 m

This option is only available in connection with the purchase of a still with a cooling length of 3 m

With the extension, the elevation and the connections are also adjusted.

This extension can be useful in the following cases:

The cooling water consumption should be reduced,
The output of the furnace should be increased. An extension should be considered for heating outputs significantly above 10 kW.
A JUMBO-E5024 may later be expanded to include additional plant space, which would require an increase in the necessary heating output.

Accessory set with pump for miniature copper stills up to 3 litres - Not suitable for our stainless steel stills


This set includes everything you need to be able to distil immediately and seriously with our stills up to about 3 litres. The pump is powerful enough to safely supply even all mini nestling in the range 0,5 to 3 litres size (as they may be used legally in Austria and from 2018 Germany or Switzerland) with cooling water. First and foremost, the set contains a functionally-sized cooling system for the still, but there are also other accessories for cleaning and sealing. In addition, when purchasing a stainless steel still together with the accessory set the right hose fittings for our coolers are there.
The set includes a 10-liter plastic tub as a cooling water depot (the water must be replaced several times in larger distilleries), plus a 230-volt cooling water pump, plus several meters of food-grade tubing in four different sizes so you can safely connect any distillery. The hoses can be partially inserted into each other and can thus also bridge different connections and adapters. In addition, a cleaning brush, a swim thermometer, a roll of Teflon tape for sealing the still and a 100 ml graduated cylinder to the distillate safely collecting and measuring.
