Re: Turbo still 500 problem
What sort of wash are you using?
What volume?
Did you measure original and final SGs?
If so, what were the numbers?

Like GTF said we need a little more info....could be something simple like you'd taken all the likker that there was in the wash out?
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Re: Turbo still 500 problem
Hi guys,
I got a question about that T500: the temperature you measure, is that the top temperature of your column or the cooling water outlet temp?
They say 55-60°C is the best, but ethanol boils at 78,5°C?

It's the water outlet temperature you need to monitor
