Gearing up to do couple runs of tomato paste wash for maceration, need to second distill some fast teddys and set to mature with oak. His Lordship is currently soaking coconut in burbon to add to a porter
Tomato paste wash? Did you just happen to have some sort of windfall of loads of tomato paste that you had to use up quickly? Why would you do this?
Ohhhhh my friend you're about to get a shiny new thing to play with!
TPW actually gives you a wonderfully neutral self clearing product that makes a great vodka base. And it's cheqp as hell to make

Interesting. I personally have no interest in making vodka. It sounds more like the reason this turns out well vs turbo wash is due to the lower ABV/not stressing the yeast out as much, vs the tomato paste really doing a lot.
Oh vodka isn't the end goal. Neutral for maceration is.
