Hi all. I’m joining up after finding a passion for distilling recently. I’m looking at buying a simple setup to get the ball rolling and have already found some great info on the site. I’m still trying to believe the tomato paste wash recipe is true but that’s why I’m here, to learn. Thanks.

Hi mate, welcome to the forum.
I only found the forum a fortnight ago and have learned a lot from the Newbies Corner and other helpful posts.
Following what I learned here, I've now completed 2 spirit runs, one from the TurboWash kit and the other a Tomato Paste Wash. What a HUGE difference in the final product!
The TPW took only a couple of extra days to ferment, but was a lot easier to clean out of the fermenter and boiler/still.
Even though I ran the TurboWash with 200ml cuts and went slowly, there is still a chemical taste, even in the centre of the hearts cuts.
The TPW fermented out to a slightly lower alcohol percentage in the wash, but you actually end up with more hearts as the heads and tails seem to be more condensed. It's worth trying, if you are intending to make neutral spirit.
If you can't find some specific info that you need in the Newbies Corner, just post a question and some of the locals will soon be along to help out.

Greg.

Welcome to the forum

I joined 1 year ago and have learned a heck of a lot from the members on here.
So much to learn and experience.
Its all about trying and experimenting and working out the uniqueness and quirks of your system.
Cant go wrong with the tried and proven recipes.

Welcome to AD Commune.

As the others have said, there's tons of info on this site. Do some research before you make your purchase and you're sure to start of with the rig that's right for you.

And yes, vodka from tomato paste is real. As is whiskey from breakfast cereal!

Cheers,
Prof. Green.
