So how much sugar to invert for a 200 litre run ?
I am thinking about that 250 litre copper water heater as an inspiration on moving up but what to do with it is still a question :ugeek:

Also do I need to “degass “ it before stilling?

Not sure what you mean by tomato paste with sodium in it.... sodium is a naturally occuring element in most things, although tomatoes are quite low on sodium... If they have added salt, the sodium content will go up. But I dont think it will be a big deal.
No need to degass before stilling... You will find that that the wash will clear itself when it is ready.
