I've made a bottle of absinthe before, but according to what I've heard, it's not worthy of being called absinthe if it hasn't been distilled. What I need is actual people responding directly to my question rather than some moonshine junkie's website walkthrough.

Here's what I know so far:

I need a pot, a copper tube wrapped into a spiral with a cooling shroud around it, and a reciever.

I want the stuff that boils off at ~78°C, and I need to change the reciever when it turns yellow

Has anyone distilled their own before, and can anyone help me out?
