OK I'm from Iran and wine in here is illegal!?
i made sugar wash with following recipe:
15 lit water + 3 kg white sugar
1 lemon
130 gr tomato paste(yeast nutrient)
half of multivitamin tablet(yeast nutrient)
40 gr corn flour(yeast nutrient)
40 gr wheat germ powder(yeast nutrient)
3 gr/lit yeast =45 gr
i boiled the water with all the material except yeast and multivitamin.
i added yeast and multivitamin after cooling to 30 c.
after 30 min the airlock begin to bubbling.
i kept the container at 30 centigrade.
after 5 day the airlock stopped.
The result:
very little alcohol smell.
Sour taste.
after distilling result(pot still):
2.2 lit alcohol with alcohol like smell and taste BUT oily even at first of distilling and all the product was oily so when i poured a little from than on the watery glass, i found that is very oily. or when i rub my fingers with that!
i think my wash sugar converted to fusel oil, fully.is that true?

i want repeat that but without lemon and high temp keeping. because i think the water PH is low (acidity is high) and tomato paste is a little sour.
if i can't succeed, i will use DAP for provide the nitrogen.
