Hi everyone! Noob from Adelaide
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2018 6:27 pmHi guys & girls,
New to the forum here, and rather new to distilling.
Recently purchased (after much convincing of the wife) a turbo 500. Which I thought was a pretty awesome idea after what i also thought was a decent amount of research.
*que laughter from EVERYONE here.
Dont tell the wife :angry-banghead:
It'll do for now but already cant stop looking at other stills..
For my next go in the hopefully-not-so-distant-future im tossing up between the still spirits alembic to go with the t500, or going a 2" adapter and a 2" pot still condenser from 5star.
Im pretty keen on really dark spiced rum & most bourbons, so a pot will happen eventually.
After a handful of turbo runs ive finally got a TPW on, actually its pretty much all done im just leaving it to settle another day or two to maybe clear a touch.
(sg 1080, fg 990ish)
Was a little nervous about the TPW at first as i had only ever used turbos in my short time, but it has gone exceedingly well, and already about to start another with my latest purchase of a 60L fermenter ($20 gumtree find!).
I had been keen on trying a dark rum after my TPW, but pretty much scrapped it after realising it wont really work well with the reflux column.
In the short amount of time ive had my still and after only a few runs so far im already dreaming of wading through all the red tape and actually having a proper go! :music-deathmetal:
Any advice anyone has about literally anything from washes, still building, & also doing it all above board would be very welcome!
