Legal information on stills

Important NOTE:

Please note that we as the manufacturer expressly point out that this still may only be used for the distillation of distilled water, hydrosols, essential oils, aromas, fragrances, perfumes, food, for alchemical experiments, etc. or as a collector's item. If you are caught distilling alcohol, you could face a fine.
