I've just finished building a nixon stone reflux still (based loosely on the Bokabob designs).
I was reading through some of the old threads on <u>neutral</u> washes (not just washes based on sugar) and noticed that most call for tomato paste as a yeast nutrient and epsom salts for magnesium.
Looking at my yeast energizer, it says that it contains the following: DAP, Yeast hulls (biotin), Magnesium Sulphate, and Vitamin B complex. It sounds like these are all the yeast nutrients needed. If I were to use this nutrient mix and sugar alone following the amounts listed in the summary section at the top of the sugar washes section on the home site, would it work as a neutral wash or would I only be duplicating a turbo yeast that would taste bad?
Has anyone tried this?
