I am excited to get my own distillation equipment and give it a try.P4m3L4j0https://www.blogger.com/profile/06673843736335230915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12219968.post-56970346864273035932009-04-17T12:43:00.000-07:002009-04-17T12:43:00.000-07:00I really love this sequence of photos.
