Cowlitz Falls Lavender Distilling at Stringtown Farms

Running our 50 gallon stainless still at stringtown farms to make lavender essential oil. 2nd run, minor improvements to be made like sight glass for the boiler and mounting on a trailer. Buy our lavender oil and other products at www.cowlitzfallslavender.com! Check it out, like us on Facebook, and track our progress on our new farm in Randle, Washington! Thanks for watching, questions or suggestions greatly appreciated!

I see a tube on the side of your boiler, are you pumping the heated water from your condenser right back into the boiler using the pressure from your garden hose?

[@lavenderfarm]

Not currently, but that is the plan in the future when it gets all mounted to a small trailer. I will install a diverting valve so I can temporarily divert water as needed to the boiler for refill and inject the warm water 80 deg or so instead of well water which is about 48 deg. Currently I refill with well water but you have to go slowly or it really disrupts the thermal balance and causes it to slug flow water into the bottom of the pot instead of steam.

could you give a brief guide as to how to set up the extraction plant? Thanks

Extraction like this at open field??? With no sanitary care!? OMG!!!!!

[@lavenderfarm]

This is the initial test run and function check of our still. Field, open, and mobile distillation operations are common and some businesses are actually built to do just that as a paid mobile service. The still is sanitary as were the bathrooms and wash area in the building stage left and the extracted oil remains in the sanitized separator until draining which is done into a sanitized glass carboy so I am unclear as to the "OMG" status. This video illustrates 2 steps in the complete process of making a bottled lavendin oil you would find on the shelf, the remainder being further separation, filtration, aging, and rather expensive 3rd party batch GC/MS testing.

Luciana, tu não sabe nada do assunto. Fica quieta e aprende, ô distraída.

With an attitude like that I’m sure you’ve had plenty of spit in your food so if I was you I wouldn’t worry about what they’re doing.
