Thank you Chris,

2 years and still going strong. Damn if this isn't the easiest sugar shine recipe :D take all of about 15 minutes to make and a solid week to finish fermentation everytime. I lost count but 2 years 1 every week is more than 100 ferments with zero failures, even with expired angel yellow, just took a...

Does anybody have a recipe for this? An Austrian friend gave me a bag of pine balls and asked me to make this .

I've been taking the leftovers, giving it a good rinse a few times, then dry it in the sun and feed it to the pigs. Not sure if I need to go through all that trouble, I was just worried it might make them sick if I didn't rinse it clean/er

I haven't tried the blue, but I'm guessing it's the new yellow ..i guess the only way to know is compare the two in a taste test...

https://en.angelyeast.com/videos/2527.html According to the website blue is the new yellow I know angel has changed colors and their packaging before ( baking yeast sugar tolerant has gone from white to brown and now gold) ingredients look the same. I haven't tried the blue, I'm guessing it's the sa...

I'm trying a test run with bananas and a bit of dme just curious.. We grow bananas ..did a mix of both green and ripe

I'll give it a try

Sounds like a good idea for useing beer mashing spent grain leftovers with sugar and DME ...im getting kinda tired of making bran muffins

Both blue and yellow have rhizopus / koji, maybe the difference in flavor? maybe the same ? First time I've seen it

I don't know if they phased this out and replace it with yellow Lable or if it's new, and phasing out the yellow
. It just showed up at the local shop last month so seems new? but its not on the angel web site . IDK what the difference is .

Gotta make the wine before you make the liquor, says in the Lable has the koji.

Yes that's the one. I tried to upload a picture but was unable to. Kept Timing out.

I did... Right above with my follow up.. Short answer will it work with sugar... Yes... Do you get a better result compared to regular bread yeast.. No But it will process both the starch and sugar together during the fermentation.. So you will get an added boost by combining those for sure Sorry if...

Website says it's for rice wine as well as distilled rice spirits ...maybe a sake shortcut?

Local shop has this for about $15 so I thought I might give it a try for Sake rather buy the koji seperatly. . I know it's says it's for soju, Baiju Ect, but yeast balls work just as well for that..

I think a couple years ago when I first got some (angel yellow Label yeast) I did something like ujssm with chicken feed powder and sugar with yellow... (the angel yellow Label yeast) And it fermented like crazy but being that the yellow (angel yellow Label yeast) cost 3x more than the Gold angel go...

I use angel Gold sugar tolerant bread yeast for my napa cabbage sugar head and have done probably 1000 The yellow label is different been using it for rice for a couple years ,just now corn, I might try potatoes But I do a 333 recipe with the sugar 30gram yeast 300 gram napa c 3 kg sugar, 18 l water...

Impressive is all I got to say. From my 16liter wash I got 4 litres of low wine 4/16x40% = 10% wash... That's impressive considering I did basically nothing and being the first go at it The spirit run fro 2 washes gave me about 2 litres of keepers as well as another 2.5 feints so about 4.5 total not...

Well, after reading this thread twice, I think I'm going to give YLAY a try and see what kind of trouble I can get into! Anyone have a decent source for the US other than Ali so I can get it faster without having to pay the $40 per 500g that Amazon wants? That's a lot of $$$ it should be more like ...

so does anyone on the "no mash no sugar" method use regular "cracked corn" without any milling? I think that's what I used??.. Being this is my first go at it. I just bought chicken corn meal.. It's about the size of sand pebbles , they do have different grades, like 1-7 ..I gue...

OK thanks.. I figured as much about the SG. I'm stripping now . We'll see in the end. Thanks Edit: almost at the end of the first strip and so far so good.. I'm actually kinda impressed. I've been using this Yellow Lable for a couple years now with rice doing wine and liquor .. Nice change to do the...

Man.. I don't know.. What kind of gravity readings are you guys getting. I'm doing my first one. Im not sure actually, but I think my starting was difficult to obtain.. But after I put the yeast it looked really low.. Like 1.020 -1.030? It finished at, .990 I'll run it tomorrow after it clears and s...

Thanks

Back at it! After a year of not distilling anything due to a big move I finally got a fire lit under me by my coworkers to have something to sip on. Oat whiskey. I still had 4 packs of Angel yeast, they seem to be fine after a year. I got a bag of rolled oats and poured 15 gallons of boiling water ...

I would say most here have tried and moved on from sugar washes - simple and easy maybe, smooth and tasty? Well compared to what? It's at the bottom of the list for me. I wouldn't think a pinch of cabbage is Haters gonna hate No hate. I sure make my own batches of sugar shine. (I use spent grains f...

I also want to add that I don't mix heads, hearts and tails. Out of 6 litres total, I just pull the central 2 litres. I then take the remaining 4 litres to do a feints run later. That's why IMO it's smooth...and at 50+% after adding water ... no burn...no sting... No harsh vodka mouth feel.. Works v...

I do one every week. Never failed yet after several hundred batches. Watered down to 50% and a shot a bottle from the freezer is great. Smooth, no sting and slightly sweet. If I add wood it's also good and more like whisky or rum rather than vodka. So it works for both styles, So for me, it's just f...

IDK, the sugar I'm using is raw cane sugar. I also kinda follow a rum process by saving the 40%-20% tail to add back in as "rum oils" as well as 2 litres of "dunder" to the spirit run. So I guess it's sugar shine vodka white rum hybrid

Has anyone tried any of the other lines of angel yeast other than the yellow label? It’s hard to tell the difference sometimes but I would what differences they make in taste with the final distillates The only other angel yeast I've used is the beer yeast. BF 16 Lagar yeast. It tastes great for be...
