Hello all new guy here made a TPW and was wondering how long it takes to ferment.
Found a lot of great tips on here.

How long is a piece of string?

Factors that can affect the answer include;

How much sugar
Temperature
Type of yeast
Dry yeast or starter
How much yeast
Additional nutrients
PH of water

You probably did not want to read that, what you probably wanted to read is;

With my set-up and using 2 tubes Tesco's double strength paste 5kg sugar / 23 litres of water / half a tin of Allison's bread yeast fermenting at 254deg my TPW usually ferments dry in 8 days.
