This is a recipe I am working on developing that seems promising... I have some GNC Mega Men Prostate & Virility dietary supplement pills kicking around and decided to use for a sugar wash based on the nutritional values... I started the first wash one week ago and the SG is down to 0.995 today and almost done fermenting, producing one bubble through the airlock every 3 seconds so it should be done by tomorrow... The only difference between the first wash and the one I just made up is that the first wash only used 2 tablets while this new one uses 3 tablets for comparison... I'm getting more aggressive airlock activity using 3 tablets but I won't know if 3 is better than 2 until all is said and done...
Once both washes are dry and cleared I will combine them in my still to run in my normal fashion of stripping and then running the diluted low wines through my reflux column...
Future tests might include leaving out the Peters 20-20-20 and perhaps the Epsom Salt and baking soda, one at a time...
