Adding one run to another?

Post by 1131morg »

Ran a batch of UJSSM and all went well (as far as quanity and appearance) but not real happy with the taste. Ran 3 strippin runs and a final spirit run. Could this be due to the fact that I used Turbo Yeast ? Guy at the brew shop said it was the best. After reading on here I see that it is not what to use. Used 25% backset, maybe not enough ? Getting ready to start a ferment of sweetfeed. (Not with Turbo) Can I slowly blend my UJSSM as feints for the sweetfeed run since they are somewhat similiar or should I just carbon filter it a couple of times and use it for mixing ?

Turbo Yeast should only be used with sugar and water, with no other ingredients... :eugeek:

I'm afraid to ask what I won. I used Turbo via brew clerks recomendation. Now I know from experience. Lesson learned. Now , what about blending into sweetfeed run, okay or not okay ? Will the bad make more bad or can good make bad good ? Thanks alot for all advice. From here on this is where I get my info from
