Hi all,
Previously I've been making my wash with 7kg of dextrose and a temp tolerant turbo. I've read over and over that turbo's impart an unwanted flavour and that the EC-1118 is the way to go. My spirit is fine after filtering, I'm just looking for an alternative.
If I was to use 5kg of ordinary white sugar, one 6g sachet of EC-1118 yeast and 100g of tomato paste, what would be my yield?

If this is no good, what would you suggest? The "simple" sugar recipes on the parent site have some pretty exotic products!

Yeald ? I use this formula (théoric):

x g of sugar / 17 / %ABV the yeast supports = liters of wash.

17 is the sugar mass to produce 1%ABV/1liter

Example : 5000 g sugar with a yeast that tolerates 14%ABV :

5000/17/14 = 21 liters, so 21 l of wash at 14%ABV

Example : 5000 g sugar with a yeast that tolerates 12%ABV :

5000/17/12 = 24 liters, so 24 l of wash at 12%ABV

Tater....I appreciate you think it's very, very funny that I got a "read the parent site" response, but if you read my original post I did say that the "simple" sugar wash recipe had some pretty exotic ingredients. Although "6 row malted barley" my be a simple ingredient where you come from...it's not exactly jumping at me from the middle of farking Sydney. If the recipe required white sand, salt water and well endowed lovelies....than maybe I'd have a shot.

There are plenty of folks here willing to trade 6 row barley for well endowed lovlies ....maybe we should move this to the classified section
