Hi, been studying this hobby for a while now and decided to give it a go. Bought one of those small pot stills off WISH. Just finished my first attempt ( aTPW) ended up with about 2.6L from a 25L wash. Still have to do final cuts. Does this sound about right??

Hi ugfitter, welcome :greetings-waveyellow:
Not sure about your figures mate, it would depend on the % of what you got off.
Unfortunately tomato paste wash isn't really designed for pot stills. They carry too much flavor and what you'll have is tomato whiskey..... you would be better off with a cornflakes, nutrigrain or weetbix wash.
Did you do a strip and spirit run? Pots require both runs.

Welcome to AD ugfitter.
:text-+1: on tomato whiskey! The Wheat Bix/All Bran wash recipe in the tried and proven area makes a great drop.
Cheers,
Prof. Green.
