Clearing wash

im just wondering do you need to use a clearing agent in ur wash or can you just put it in the still and let the still do its job?

if the wash is cloudy the enothol is still going to boil at the same temp there for the still will still collect what we want or will it collet outher bad stuff as well?

Re: Ball lock vs pin lock

i have pin locks and they work well and you dont have to worry about mixing the gas and the beer up as they are 2 or 3 pins

i would say get what ever you can get at a good price
