Ole Bob: How would one go about blowing off the first 5 min of distilling. On my machine you fill the tank and then turn on the On switch . That automatically starts the fan going and so starts the distilling process. Thanks. Ruth Actually, with continued use of the machine, I am not noticing the kind of build up on the upper rods that I did when I used hard water. Will try running some vinegar through again to see if the lower curved rod will clean up that way. Maybe that rod is supposed to look whitish. I don't remember from previous times what it looked like after cleaning. Would the contaminents that would be"blown off" be harmful in the making of cs. ? Will also try making only 3 quarts at a time. Thanks, Ruth

If possible blow-off the first 5 minutes of boiling and then route the steam throught the condencing coils. that way is there are any organic compounds tha thave a boiling point near that of water they will boil off first and not go through your still."Ole Bob"
