Hi guys I've been searching for hours and hours and I continue to find conflicting scenarios and I've put myself in a complete spin. I got the t500 as a present a couple months ago and after my initial putrid run with turbo stuff (may certainly have been user error) I've stumbled upon this forum and have since made some neutral with
T.p.w and making cuts. So here's me making all these neutrals and using essences or wood chips or both to find a whiskey flavour I like (haven't been entirely successful)
and it's got me to the point I'm looking at pot still heads. Now I know ss have a alembic lid with column condenser to fit the boiler but at $500 it makes the mind wonder. Do I bite the bullet and buy just the pot lid for $250 ish and make the column. Or would it be possible to just take the reflux column off the stainless lid that comes with a t500 and then put on a built copper column and Condenser to make it a pot still? That would be my far preferred method if possible. I also looked into de-tuning but upon reading this forum it's said for safety reasons with plastic parts to not do it. Sorry if this has been asked in a round about way on Forum but I could not for the life of me find it.
