Re: Yeast bomb
I follow Pugidogs Pugirum recipe for a yeast bomb pretty much to a tee with the exception of using DAP (same quantity) instead of the fertilizer. I only use the yeast bomb on my rum. At this point I only make rum, whiskey & bourbon. I only use the yeast bomb on my rum and make large starters for AG whiskeys & bourbons.
Hope this helps

But, I'm looking for opinions. Base on what has been learned since the earlier posts.
Pugidogs experiments started my curiosity.

Re: Yeast bomb
My Yeast bomb starts with my wash
I make six 25ltr washes at a time (usually on Friday night).
I use a modified Birdwatchers recipe.
First I make the first 25ltr batch of BW, but only make 10 ltrs of it so it’s concentrated. Then I take about 2 ltrs out of the 10 to another container.
I then finish the first 25 ltrs BW with more ingredients so it is roughly the same as the next five I’m about to make.
To the 2 ltr yeast bomb container I add about 1/3 cup Distillers yeast and stir to mix and aerate about every 15 to 20 minutes over the next 2 hours while I finish the other five 25ltr batches of BW.
When all six are done I adjust for PH to about 5.8 mix all with a wand to aerate then pour 1/6 of the bomb in each one, then mix to aerate again, then sprinkle dry yeast on the surface to half cover.
Cap, air lock and leave for 4 days.
SG 1.085 to 1.09
FG .990 to .995
