Gday and some questions from Hoops27

Hi
I've just joined and have purchased my Grandfathers Turbo 500 still off him. I see they are frowned upon a little here, but I am a firm believer in crawl before you walk and walk before you run. I got really sick of the Turbo stuff and are just running my first TPW batch now as I'm on the forum learning. I really enjoy it, not for the cheap alcohol part but the science and chemistry.
I do have 2 questions. 1- I used the Macstill recipe of TPW, fermented great left for 16 days, will uodated on result. But was 16 days long enough I put my wine/beer hydrometer in and it read at 1.00. If I leave longer do I get a better result?
Question 2 - when tapping it off I got a little tomato paste residue run through. So I tapped it off and strained it through a chux clothe which collected most the slimy stuff. But if I missed some will that hurt the batch.
Regards
