The question is how long as the wash been on???...if only just started, you may want to use a couple of bottles just to get the "feel" on the still. ;)

Sugar wash started Friday but I'm sure I can find something nasty to experiment with. 1st play will be very agricultural as I don't have a spirit hydrometer. ;D

I don't know you, but I like you already!
I may not be the best example to follow, but there is something about a Gung Ho approach that appeals to myself! ;D

You can always refine your technique after a little playtime.

Set a child free in a sweet shop, and it will eventually come looking for healthy food.

And then you can help it educate itself.
I have accidentally done this in my past.
Just sayin'.
Stick around, we will help you through the shitty problems :) :)

I noticed a T500 for sale on ebay for £300 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Still-Spirits-T500-Distillation-System/182307908860?hash=item2a7265ecfc:g:trIAAOSw8w1X-kdo and I've also been told that someone here is selling one for a bit less than that, so it'd be worth mentioning here if you're interested in one at £100 less than retail (I am not the seller of either)

When you have (explained to the missus) you might care to share your explanation. There may be others in the future with the same difficulty..... ;D

I was thinking of the old "I will use it a few times then sell it for what I bought it for" then of course I won't sell it ;D
