My name is Graham. New to distilling and looking forward to my first wash through my t500 copper still i bought on the weekend. Brewed homebrew beer for a couple of years thought time to give the spirits a crack.

Professer green i used the turbo wash that came in the kit. My next i will try TPW after reading on this forum sounds good and allot cheaper.

TPW is excellent and will give you much better results than the turbo. It's worth having a go with some of the other recipes in the Tried & Proven section too, just to see which one you like the best. I personally prefer WBAB for neutral.
