People with faith in OEM always astound me.
Just saying.
Maybe I have just been around too long.? :D

Robert.


It’s not blind faith though Rob, the oem packing produces high quality spirit at a high abv in a decent enough time....a controller might increase the quality by refluxing slower but I’m struggling to understand which bit of the actual process would be improved by a different packing material.

I've seen the comment about this from Myles and I read it as it is OK..I hope so as I'm ordering one for a spare, cheaper than the one I made years back. ;)
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

To confirm. It's Ok.
You can to use a motor (inductive load) power controller on elements (resistive lead) but not the other way round.


PS I have ordered one too, so we are all it the cart if they don't work.
