AD searchA newbie to distilling, I have been using a stainless steel pressure cooker with a 1/2" take off passing through a liebeg condenser. Works well but takes a couple of runs to produce 80% ABV.
Just started to construct a Boka reflux and have joined your site to avail of the expertise available and share my build

Thanks for all your welcomes
Could anybody help me on this little query, I bought a couple of tubes of tomato paste for my first TPW and have just noticed they are 99.5% tomato with 0.5% added salt. Will the small amount of salt have any effect on the brew?
Cheers

Thanks for the reassurance, made a 25l TP wash last night and it was bubbling with rage after 1 hour.
I am looking forward to using my 2" Boka for the first time
