Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has ever reported an allergic reaction to TPW ?

Cheers

I found excess consumption leads to an inflated sense of self worth followed my memory loss.

:text-imwithstupid: :laughing-rolling:

I know some people go red and get "hot flushes" from particular drinks - seems pretty individual to the person as to what drinks

With the growing levels of toxicity in our everyday lives, stuff like this will pop up more often i think

Even if somebody was allergic to tomatoes, there wouldnt be any tomato in the end drink.

I originally found that an ingredient in essences Humectant E1520 could cause these symptoms, So I stopped using essences.

I am only using certified chemical free american oak now and things are much better, but refusing to go away

Could it be something in the water you use to dilute the final product ?

I am presuming your drinking the end product from the still? You haven’t given us much info

Has it happened once or multiple times?

People of Asian descent don't have the enzymes to breakdown ethanol, perhaps look at your family history.
Red rash is they main symptom along with getting drunk quicker lucky buggers.

Allergic reactions. This is one of the things that has drawn me to home distilling. A lot of booze out there (including quality) has a preservative called sulfites. Its a mined salt, not man made, so it can even be used in organic foods (arghhh!) Companies in Australia have to label their products if they use more than ten parts er million. They don't have to if they use ingredients in their product that contain sulfites (also known as sulphites).

I know this because I am allergic to this preservative, usually labeled as 200-230 ish. I have a range of symptoms from a rash, monster headache, hayfever like sneezing, right up to constriction of the throat.

So no glucose, wine, icing, bourbon, chocolate, vingear (why does this need a preservative!) (anything coloured at all) processed bran, oats, blah blah bah.
Lucky Im a maker. No recipe has gone unburnt in my kitchen and no bran has escaped my ninja chopper.

My message here is check the back of the packets of everything. Most of the stuff that came in my turbo kit is has sulfites listed on the back. Some tomato pastes too. If you're getting sick this stuff is probably not helping much. \

Hope this helps someone resolve any issues

:text-goodpost:
I was going to suggest packing your t500 with as much copper as possible as its good at removing sulphates, but its not quite the same thing as a sulphite....
Worth some research
Ill shut up now...
