Probably should have put in a bit more detail
with 75kg of dextrose I fill to 200l with water mix @30deg then add in turbo yeast 8 pakets...
I then put in my 30L reflux still and get about 4-5L of spirit
can you point me to a recipe using just dextrose and yeast and whatever nutrients...the packet of turbo yeast says it has nutrients and bentonite...not sure why bentonite?
