another turbo ?

[che]

Ok here's the deal before all the bashing starts. I had some left over turbo yeast that I had laying aroun that I had no intention of using since reading and joining this site. My buddy kept hounding me about using it and I told him if he'd buy the sugar id get it going and show him how the still worked. Of course the outcome was shitty tasting liquor. My question is could I take everything that came out, put it back in the still, add some water and re run it to get a neutral? Will the horrible taste still come through?



On a side note I'm on my 4th gen ujssm and this stuff is amazing.

Ok here's the deal before all the bashing starts. I had some left over turbo yeast BASH BASH SLAM (joking) that I had laying aroun that I had no intention of using since reading and joining this site. My buddy kept hounding me about using it and I told him if he'd buy the sugar id get it going and show him how the still worked. Of course the outcome was shitty tasting liquor It can do that!. My question is could I take everything that came out, put it back in the still, add some water and re run it to get a neutral? Thats what I would try Will the horrible taste still come through? It may but it will be a lot less noticeable if you get real neutral. What kind of still you run?



On a side note I'm on my 4th gen ujssm and this stuff is amazing. I have yet to try it. It is on my to do list!

Exactly what I wanted to hear. Just a 15 gal keg pot still style with a Liebig condenser. Now my buddy knows exactly what I mean when I say turbos taste like shit lol.

Gona be hard to get neutral out of a pot still But it may clean it up some for ya . If you still don't like it give it to someone who doesn't know any better!

I just assume pour it on an ant bed but I was just curious if it would clean up any. I'll save my time and propane for my ujssm. Thanks for the replies. And to any new guys thinking about using a turbo DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Just a lil update. Combined all my stripping runs with 5 gal of water and ran it back through, ended up with a very drinkable neutral.

I only ran one turbo. TG for this site. I am on my 4th Birdwatcher now and everything out of my pot still goes through twice. I would like to take a stripping run, put some sodium bicarbonate in it and let it sit for at least a week, or more, then see how slow I can do a spirit run.
It told my wife last night, if I learn how to improve it much more I may have to stop. It is so dam good now already.

I am deffinately going to run some UJSSM and get it aging soon.

I'm fairly new - how much water should you add when running your spirit run after a stripping run? I can imagine its not very critical, but what does it accomplish. Thanks-

For safety reasons you should dilute the spirit down to 40% or below.
