I have a few questions about this recipe for a 5 gallon wash:
4" of sweet feed in bottom of bucket
8lbs of sugar
Superstart distillers yeast
Yeast Nutrients
Questions:
I recently bought this superstart yeast, how much should i use for this recipe?
what abv could i expect in my wash when its done fermenting?
can i use more sugar to produce higher alcohol content in my wash?
Sorry if these are dumb questions, i am sort of new to this

Re: Sweet feed recipe questions
I skylit add more sugar when I did the sweet feed that stuff worked super quick. Also I used the ground up kind when it was all done he grains swelled up at took half the water. So say a 5 gallon bucket will only have 2 gallon of mash to distill.
