Join me as I learn to use the Vevor 3 gal Alcohol Distiller to make lavender hydrosol and essential oil in my kitchen.
I review the modifications that were made to run a steam distillation and I show how to use the separation funnel to get a clean essential oil.

Linalool (20-35%)
linalyl acetate (30-55%)

Hi, when you say 3 runs, did you change out your plant material or just add more water and run the process again?

@emmacurry7056, Great question!
I changed the plant material for each run and cleaned out the still, adding new water to just below the steamer.
Each run generated between 750mL and 1L of hydrosol, with the still holding about 2L of water beneath the steamer. With these volumes I am assured the still won’t run dry.
