Funny you should say that Ice, he offered to do that for me and I declined. silly me.
Might take him up on the offer..
He buys a sachet with nutrients and yeast in and then bungs it into the sugary water... Am I better just doing a lentil wash with Allinson's yeast or the one I've seen on here with raisins?? or buy his tried and tested??

Think he said his wash is around 18%

Do it exactly the way he does it for the first 10 runs. Maybe 16 if he is using Vodka Star, there is usualy a price break for 16 packets. Then, when you have spirit in stock and can afford a disappointing result, try doing it 'your way'.

I do think that assuming a non-turbo would be disappointing is completely the wrong way around.

They may not be quick, but I personally do not think the the product is disappointing. I have always found bakers yeast recipes give a superior product. Particularly the wheat wash.

Apologies if my meaning was misconstrued.

I tend to assume nothing when doing something new, for good or ill. Usually with this hobby, there is some kind of a drinkable result even if things don't go fully to plan.

However, there is a chance that results MAY be disappointing if it's something new, so no harm in having some decent product stockpiled just in case.

imo Vodka Star is not a turbo, that's just marketing blurb. It works well enough for me to not even consider using anything else.

John51,
Your post may have been misconstrued,but Mashy's was difficult to understand.
On re-reading it still doesn't make much sense,I think that I understand his point,but I have had a drink or three,maybe he had done similar!

I think it was me who had been drinking.

I have edited....

And it is now sensible,well done that man.
