keeping in mind, of course, that the product of the still is highly flammable.

i'd definitely use an electric element rather than open flame.

i'm trying to find a review of recommendation but its hard to find anything because no one talks about it in OZ...

I bought one of those Air Stills a couple of months ago (for distilling essential oils of course) and I've put about 6 batches through it. They've all come out pretty good. I've never really tried home distilled stuff so I can't give you a comparison but it's certainly tastes alright to me.

It's simple to use and easy to clean so I'm happy with my purchase. :D

The reason nobody mentions it or talks about it because it is illegal.
I have a Essencia unit. it is electric and completly safe, give me a great product as well.
If you want any info..just Pm me.
I brew the beer I drink
