A still is an apparatus used to distil liquid mixtures by heating to selectively boil and then cooling to condense the vapour. A still uses the same concepts as a basic distillation apparatus but on a much larger scale.
There are multiple types of stills used according to their specific features. The following are a few;
A pot still is a type of distillation apparatus or still used to distil liquors such as whisky or brandy. They are not used to produce rectified spirit, because they do not separate congenersfrom ethanol as effectively as other distillation methods. Pot stills operate on a batch distillation basis.
A column still, also called a continuous still, patent still or Coffey still, is a variety of stills consisting of two columns. Column stills can produce a rectified spirit.
They operate by employing a fractionating column, which is essentially a long vertical tube filled with packing material that forms an airlock at its top end and allows alcohol vapours to rise up it before meeting it and condensing back down into the pot through what's known as reflux – hence their name “reflux still.”
Following are the factors that should be kept in mind while selecting a suitable still;
Select a still that is compatible with your amount of distillate. For example, a 5-15 gal (20-50L) still is suitable for household or small-batch distillation. However, for high-volume production, look for the still which has larger capacities 50-100 gal or 200-400L.
Look for the still, which is made of food-grade and durable materials like stainless steel or copper. Also select the still which has great thickness of materials. These features will ensure that you still will last longer.
Select a still which comes with precise temperature control. Such as, look for the features like digital temperature control or thermometer and safety features like overflow protection, a secure condenser and thermal protection. For example, a still with a temperature range of 30-120°C can manage multiple distillation processes.

You cap and seal the pot and heat it. As the liquid heats up, the alcohol boils first (because alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water does) and turns to vapour. The alcohol vapours rise up into the head of the still; then, they're drawn off into an arm and then to a coil.
Pressurised steam travels through the plant, liberating the essential oils and carrying them away. The water and oils are separated by gravity in a separator can, which separates the water-soluble parts (the hydrosol) and the fat-soluble parts (the essential oil).
Distilling essential oils at home without a still can be done using the steam distillation method. Start by placing aromatic plant material, like herbs or flowers, in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the plant material and bring it to a simmer.
