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.
