turbo experiment
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 10:40 pm
So having not used turbo's for years now, I thought I would give it a go to see if they have improved in the quality! this was just basic pot still runs. done 3 washes
Used 3 packs of turbo 48 hour, 6kg sugar in each,
Did 3 strip runs, combined the low wines, then ran it through the still, did the cuts as I normally do , taste smell was terrible!, So thought put some nice clean water in the pot and Run again, Came out not So bad, will say less smelly and a bit better taste of nothingness, But in the end all I got out of the whole exercise was 3/4 gallon of 60% alcohol that was drinkable but also took me two spirit runs to get there, So, reminder Not to use Turbo yeast.
I did Not run it through Carbon as I feel you shouldn't have to do this, anybody with a decant amount of experience
