jb-texshine - would crushed oyster shells such as this sold at Tractor Supply be acceptable. It's a chicken feed supplement.

Both washes stalled in less than 12 hours

either one will work or just go by your local oyster bar and get some shells for free. I like the whole shells better because you can reuse them

I use crushed shells because they are cheap, readily available AND re-useable.
I put them in a coarse mesh bag along with a sealed Nalgene bottle to make the whole works float. When the ferment is finished, I dump the crushed shells into a pan and rinse them well with hot water.

Actually according to HDNB's research ( that I haven't checked) you can in fact invert the sugars of agave syrup. The fracturing of the polysaccharides would in fact make them much easier to ferment the way I see itrad14701 wrote:Now, that would be a real trick if it was true...

Can you link to HDNB's research (not sure what HDNB is)? Are you saying the sugars can be inverted strictly using heat?
Re: Both washes stalled in less than 12 hours
i did some reading on this last year, not really research and posted a comment earlier in this thread just trying to help out.
But if you use HD google search up there^^^ and type in " agave", there is a fair jag of reading and some reasonably good documentation on tequila recipes.
