Instructions:

For use as a botanical basket:

1. Attach the sight glass to the lid of your distilling system using one of the mesh filters and the 2” tri-clamp.
2. Fill the sight glass with your desired amount of botanicals - up to a maximum of 150 g (5.2 oz).
3. Put the second mesh filter on the top of the sight glass.
4. Using a 2” tri-clamp connect the top of the sight glass to your condensing set up.

For use as a sight glass: Attach the sight glass to your distilling system (mesh filters are not required).

Cleaning: Clean with warm water and a suitable brewery cleaner. Using a pipe brush, clean away all residual oils on the glass. Disassembly should only be required if heavy soiling around the silicone components exists. Sanitation is not needed in this application.

Note: For use as a column extension with packing material coarse mesh is required to prevent flooding.

CAUTION: After distillation is complete, the sight glass will be very hot. Allow to cool before handling
