Apologies if this has been done to death, but I can't find answer.
I have T500 with copper column.
Initial clean - Is it OK to use citric acid as I have loads.? Should I expect any distillate from output or is the intention just to clean column and saddles? Does it matter what temp is set?
I'll then do a sacrificial run using a turbo sugar wash.
When I come to do my first TPW, is it best to use fresh bakers yeast (hard to get hold of except ebay) or is dried just as good.?
I am aiming for a neutral spirit as a base for a gin.
Thanks
