I have read a few things about the "turbo 500 forum recommended mods" im assuming it relates to this thread Running a T500, the Proper Way - Discussion Thread but it doesn't really talk about all of them.
1. Changing the plastic drip tube to copper.
- I will be grabbing a length of copper and making this happen. I just ran it without and sat the glass jar on top of a box to get it quite close to the end of the drip tube.
2. Not using the plastic carbon? filter
- Do you get a glass filter container or do you just not filter it?
3. Talk of the Plastic top.
- I think this is in relation to the black plastic at the top of the reflux?
- do you replace it with a copper one? how?
3. Changing out ceramic saddles for SS Scrubbers
- Mine had Copper and SS saddles already is this because i got the Copper Reflux?
- Is it worth swapping the SS saddles out for the SS scrubbers?
4. Back off the reflux by restricting the water flow and keeping the condenser full flow?
- Do we always want the condenser on full flow or is that just to get the temps?
- What are the benefits of backing off the reflux?
5. Voltage Controller
- I have seen a few posts about it but unsure. does the T500 with pot or reflux on it need one/ benefit from it?
- I feel like my pot still run was going a bit fast on full flow
Also after getting the t500 kit is there anything else i need to buy?
I thought i would have everything i need since i bought a kit but thinking i need some other equipment.
Do you have a thermometer to measure distillage temps/water output?
To check the abv% in your cuts do you have a long tall glass container to pour your cuts into or how is everyone getting this reading?
Anything else you can recommend to do or buy?
