Hi Plumby, look forward to getting great advice from you. Just googled TPW recipe & am gonna try it, is it for just darker spirits? if so have you got a wash recipe for white spirits please, gonna try & get away from turbo yeasts. Cheers. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

TPW is more for neutral.
Try the NGW or CFW for brown spirits.

Look in the recipe section of this site (no need for google).

The t500 is a reflux still and they make neutral alcohol like vodka. Have a look at this link its the best way to run a t500, http://aussiedistiller.com.au/viewtopic ... 57&t=10483. Recipes like the tpw, http://aussiedistiller.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=6167 and the wbab, http://aussiedistiller.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=170 both make excellent neutral alcohol.
