Soco watered down for cleaning run? Too funky?
I think its so sugary itll be prone to puke and heavy flavored it would funk things up. Maybe add some yeast to eat off the rest of the sugar first after watering down. Have a few jugs from work figured id ask...

Soco is southern comfort for those who have never heard the lingo

Be interesting to see what the SG was if you watered it down to a wash. Couldn't hurt to try.
If in doubt leave it out.

That shit has a large sugar content but I doubt it would ferment with just a yeast feed to it. No nutrients for the babies.

I'd mix it with cola, filter it though my kidneys, and separately start a sugar wash for a cleaning run!

I'd water it down to 5%. I don't know what it's bottled at, I suppose I'd rinse the bottles 3 times. Then add a champagne yeast. Maybe add some nutrients.
Give it a go. If it's free it's cheaper than a sugar wash.

By the time it gets watered down from 40% to anything yeast tolerant there gonna be bugger all sugar in it. Id say just go 3-4parts water to 1 part soco n just run it. Bet wont be nuf sugar to foam
