If you are determined to use up the nutrient and still have concerns about the validity of it. Then why not make up two half size batches and limit the liability?

I know you want to use your big fermenter but that can be used to it's capacity when you have proven to yourself that the recipe works for you.

I didn't end up starting the wash last night.
I did however end up kicking myself as just before we went to bed my wife asked how much barley I'd needed to use for such a big fermenter!!!!!!!!
I've only ever done 1 barley sugar head and she remembered.
We currently have about 100kg in the garage!
So with a feeling of dumbness I may start a 60ltr barley sugar head tonight.
How's that sound?

Hope you didn't send your daughter out on such a foul night.
Only just spotted this,apologies.
Your nutrient should work just fine,most wine nutrients are good with sugar washes in my experience.
Or even a handfull of lentils,split peas or cornflour,or anything else.

Hi everyone.
Quick question before I send my daughter to the co-op.
Would youngs yeast nutrient be any good for a plain sugar wash with allinsons yeast?
I want to get a 60ltr wash started.

Thanks in advance
Robert
