Sugar, and all about sugar washes. Where the primary ingredient is sugar, and other things are just used as nutrients.

What to do with this turbo wash

Post by Farside »

I was just given 6 gallons of sugar wash made with some sort of turbo yeast that has been sitting for over 2 years

I opened the pail and it's not infected. It has a dark appearance and I confirmed with the brewer that they added carbon.

It has a strong aroma of acetone / fusel alcohol and when I tasted it it has a lot of residual sugar.

What should I do with this? Split the batch, add water and a yeast like lalvin 1118?
