I am an old New Zealand Distiller,
Have made Gin for years with the old t500 boiler as a pot still. Such a cheap device to make a tasty drink. The Tomato paste ferment, stripping runs, final run with the power controller to slow the yield not a bad product. The cooper reflux column that came with the t500, i found too time intensive, so purchased a 4 inch flute to make whiskey, and a carter head to improve the gin.
