Hello All, I have a Mile Hi Distilling 8 gallon setup that's officially for lavender oil, but it just so happens that some regular distilling parts ended up on the order form as well. This still came with silicone gaskets for the tri-clamp connections so I ordered PTFE gaskets to replace them.
Considering the amount of fraudulent stuff out there for sale (I grabbed them off Amazon, I probably should rethink that strategy) I was wondering if there are ways to confirm that they aren't just hard plastic. One idea was to expose them to solvents such as acetone to see if they dissolve. What's the hive mind's feeling on this?
Eagles may soar... but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
