alembic

Postby eberntson » Wed Dec 03, 2014 9:37 am

1. A device used for distillation
2. An alchemical device used by alchemists

Many a great thought came from Plato alembic mind.

From Middle English, French, and Arabic.

I keep coming back to this one and all I can come up with is the proposed alembic mind. Can't anyone out there distill, or even ferment or brew, yet another idea on how to use this?
