[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3654694, member: 5412"] A pressure cooker makes a great distiller. You just need a condenser to convert the steam to water. Remove the threaded pressure plug to attach the condenser or leave it as a safety, and add a bulkhead pipe fitting connector to the lid by drilling. Coil up some copper tubing coming from the lid in a cold water bath to create the condenser, dripping into a container. The old moonshiners used streams for a constant source of cool water in their condensers. Doesn't have to be cold, just cooler than the steam to condense it. I've seen some of the old 10 gallon pressure cookers at yard sales and flea markets pretty cheap. Doesn't even have to be a pressure cooker as pressure isn't necessary but those pressure cookers are a great vessel with the pipe fitting in place(pressure safety plug or remove the pressure meter in old units) for those without the tools to drill and tap holes. I've seen boilers made from old milk cans or whatever that can be used with a lid that can be sealed so the steam stays in the condenser line, not escaping from the lid. [/QUOTE]
