Distilling Water
I collect records and I use distilled water to clean them. I normally have to buy it but I've heard the airstill can do this? I didn't think it heated up enough?

Fill it with water, switch it on.
Eventually distilled water will come out.
Simples.

Re: Distilling Water
Yup. That's it.
I can only add, make sure it's clean if you have been using it gin botanicals previously.

Re: Distilling Water
you'll generally see it advertised for precisely that purpose. The fact that it can be bent to other uses is a happy 'co-incidence'!

To much of this distilled water, with a little tonic,
makes me fall off my perch.

Re: Distilling Water

Peace On Earth and Goodwill don't work.
I remain a cynical and Sceptical old bastard.
Ho, Ho, fecking Ho.
So much on this planet that I cannot fix.
If I can stop just one person drinking shit moonshine, then I have done something.
Oh, MERRY CHRISTMAS ONE AND ALL!
Robert.

Re: Distilling Water
The instructions say to add a bag of carbon? WTF I do not want that crap on my records. Why would they suggest that? Surely I'm fine just to stick in a couple of litres of water and press go? Will I need ceramics or copper at the bottom?

Re: Distilling Water
It breaks all the bubbles up and stops a big
eruption from the bottom of the still.
This statement is based on my knowledge.
I therefore deny any knowledge of its existence.
