How long should it take to heat up a still?

It will take about 1.5 hours for the water to heat up. Once distillation starts, water will begin to drip slowly into the spirit collector or jug. The still will take about 10 hours to distil the 4 L (1 US Gal). The power supply reset will switch off automatically when the distillation is completed.
