Sugar feeding a wash?

[makum101]

Ive just got hold of some High Alcohol yeast (Non Turbo) and the instructions states can achieve 18 to 20% if you sugar feed. Im guessing this means you dont add all the sugar at the start but add when the ferment slows down. Question is how do I add it, dissolved in water or just throw it in and how much per addition. Anyone have any experience of this?

Im planning on using 8 bags in total. (i use this many with a turbo yeast to achieve 18%)

I would dissolve the sugar in warm water and then add it
Not that I know feck all :-)

I wouldn't do this, but would suggest adding extra sugar, a few days apart dissolved in water may be the way to go, when fermentation slows.
What the feck do I know?
Not really a topic of interest.
But we all have our own thing.

Make a high concentrate invert syrup (80%) with the remaining sugar.

It does work. It is a PITA. It is a technique for getting more out of a traditional yeast. Not normally a turbo.

You find an easy way. Everyone gets taken in by the bright lights of highest alc yeast. Many then find one of two ways, either a natural wash that gets done quickly, cleanly and suits them or vodka star seems to have a strong following.

Yes yes to the second bit Mash. Just stripped 3x 25L
Kale wases. Now have 17l of 53% to play with.
Don't make stronger washes make more washes.
Same result, but better taste/product and cheaper.
Kale wash about £3.50 a go.
Some of these yeast packs cost that much.
Or am I missing something.

You're not missing anything gaz. In fact I'd say you got it spot on...

If anyone has problem with fermentation times, buy more fermenters. Simples......

Blimey your kale is expensive Gaza !

[gaza the instructor]

Yes just a rough figure Mash. But now very
happy with results, the vodka is of a high standard.
making good cuts and a carbon essentcia filter and
it can be drunk neat.

Blimey your kale is expensive Gaza !
