Hey all I have been running experiments for some time now on basically every aspect of “ novice level “ fermentation. So I would like to start with saying I am more than capable at making basic neutral spirits. My questions arises from the science and self study side of distillation. With that being said. I hope I am asking this question in the correct place, and if I am not please correct me so I can do it properly next time. I do not have a hr to read through everything again.
So here my question. My sugar wash taste slightly of perfume, I cannot find the “Scientific” answer as To why?.
This wash was experimental from the get go. I did not use the normal compounds.
10lb sugar
5 gallons water
3tbls DADY
2tbls lemon juice to bring my ph.5.2
1 1/2 tsp epsom salts- “ experimental” don’t no why !
1 50+multi vit
1/2 small can of tomato paste
Also cuts where not strict. 4shots plus about a cup got pitched. Everything “ mid run” got collected.
Again. This was a experiment to see how those compounds compare to gypsum, and yeast nutrients.
Also before you send me to birdwatchers I’ve made it quite a few times and love it. I cannot find answers as to what through it off to put off the perfume tasts.
I’m running a 16g MH with clean rash rings and clean copper mesh. Also ran a little on the fast side but nothing to extreme. Letting my wife get a feel for it with a wash I’m not Afraid to loose lol.
I’m Hoping one of you experienced guys can give me some scientific insight? Thanks in advance
