Yeast that ferments up to 28% ! yes 28%!

[Belair]

I just saw this on Ebay : http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Packages-Of- ... 460c9f8e21" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
it's in Alaska. I never heard of anything more than 24%

But this 28% in 7 days! Dear Lord, it sounds crazy. Have anyone here tried this one ? I am thinking that the resulting wash once cleared must taste like crap but if we are to put a cup of fine activated carbon in the beginning of the fermentation and filter the spirit once again it might start to be worth it at 28% ! Eventhough this would make about 3 times the amount of ethanol present in a normal wash, I wonder if what you'd get as hearts would be close to 3 times as well, I guess you'd get more heads and tails and a smaller middle portion.

All I can say is. Why?

Ah! How nice! A bit more and we don't have to distill no more!

Just kidding!

Wouldn't that be great. No still, no distilling to get in trouble for. I guess it would fall under the beer and wine laws because you wouldn't be distilling. Now the only thing to figure out once you get to that point is how to make it drinkable.

One thing for sure there would be a world wide run on activated carbon.

Should be called supercharged turbo or turbo turbo turbo yeast.

Sounds like the holy grail for noobs. Quality producing ingredients produce quality product. Yeast makes a huge difference, chasing big numbers never. Try it out and get back to us. I love to be proven wrong.

WOW! $65.00 for 5 gallons of 28%, That would be some pretty expensive fuel. Probably taste like fuel also. I will keep to my 8% AG, but Hey! You do get a nice $3.00 dollar bucket!

I'm pissed, I bought this product. Not only did it melt my fermenter, It turned the nearby corn field into ethanol.
Now the EPA is sending nasty letters threating to sue me. And the FAA wants copy's of my logbook and last physical.
I keep telling them I wasn't the pilot in command of the bubble trap that endangered the airliner above my house.
Thank god I only used one packet of this yeast.

Next thing you know...we'll have a microwave fireplace and be able to sit all night in front of the fire in only 5 mins!

Greed applies to losers. More and faster is less and slower, but this is secret knowledge

28%
bugger that, imagine the heads and tails cut.

Highest I've ever been is 23%, and the heads and tails cut was waaaaaay bigger than what I get keeping my washes 10-12%, yup, I get more good stuff by keeping the % down

Looks interesting....i think i might get some and see how it is.
