Re: TURBO 500
That will depend on how much reflux you use.ArtArtLA wrote:I own a turbo 500, do you think that distilling with it and its reflux column is equivalent to a 3 time distillation?
The T500 is a CM reflux , the amount of reflux you get is controlled by the amount of water you allow to flow through the condenser. Don't be fooled into trying to run it using the manufactures instructions of running by temp. Using your eyes and watching the product output speed will give much better results.
More water through the reflux condenser = slower output= better purity and higher ABV.
Less water through the reflux condenser = faster output= less purity and lower ABV.
Re: TURBO 500
Thank you so much. I will definitely pump in a bit more water. From the taste of it compared to other products, you can assume this reflux after one distillation is really being distilled 3x, possibly even more. Also manufacture is saying 500ml per minute for water flow. Maybe I can run it at 650-750

Re: TURBO 500
You have a CM still (coolant modified) - cooler the water - higher the abv

CM = Cooling Management....not coolant modified

Re: TURBO 500
Actually looking at the Turbo 500 modified is probably the better word than management.
