I've never ran a t500 so not sure on set up but maybe its puking. I strip my TPW no dramas but it easily pukes when doing spirit runs. I make sure to keep low wines level in boiler way down (from maximum) and use distillers conditioner on spirit runs/re runs. Some say you can use olive oil instead of distillers conditioner but I don't know volumes sorry.
Hope this helps :pray:

A tablespoon of olive/canola/vegetable oil or butter works great to stop puking.

Stig always runs low wines through his T500

Ive run mine a number of times on low wines and never had that problem, The instruction that come with the still are a rough guide, I found it best to forget the temps and water flow and concentrate more on keeping the flow of product from the condenser slow n steady.MacStill wrote:That's weird :think:
