So I have a feeling I know exactly what everyone is going to say, but I'm gonna ask anyways. I have been using flour/water mixture to seal my pot still ever since I started distilling. The only thing I don't really like is that it seems like everything has a doughy/yeasty taste to it. I have tried using less of it but I still seem to get that taste. I have been thinking about using some type of plastic as a gasket around the lid. I was thinking about getting some tygon/teflon/silicone tubing and splicing it and running it along the rim of the pot and then putting the lid on and clamps around the edge as usual. Which of these materials do you guys think would be best? From what I've been looking at tygon/teflon would be best. I don't know whether I should go for the "beverage" type of tubing or the "chemical" or "heat" stable version of these. I was looking at ordering from mcmaster. I appreciate any advice, thanks.
Edit: Part number 5033K31 looks best right about now
