The bit that stuck out most to me was when he said that one should allllllllways carbon filter product after stilling, He was also a fan of turbo yeast and couldn't understand why i didn't want the added benefits of faster and higher % wash.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I had a feeling this would be the case. When he was talking about plans for other people stills he'd seen he said he didn't understand why they had bits here and there and I found myself thinking "yeah I've seen that sort of still and understand why they do it&q...
