Distilling water at home
« on: January 04, 2005, 06:54:24 AM »
I need to purify some water, but I don't have one of those fancy moonshiner gadgets. I was wondering what you guys use to distill things.

Would a clean cup-at-a-time coffee maker distill the water well, since it heats the water to steam which then condenses and drips through your coffee?

You may use a kettle to heat the water sample and put a clean glass contents with cold water ( or a large watch glass) at the outlet of kettle. Steam will condense on the outside of the glass and collect the condensate.

Please try. :D
