The site says 'up to' £6.50 discount on shipping for orders £65 or more. That's 37 packs of VS so may as well get get 40. Tried to do checkout but they don't have that quantity in stock.

At least their site blocks out of stock orders. The failure of a site to do that has stuffed me up with other hobbies. Props to the owner for that.

If you click on the product, on the product page it lets you know how many they have in stock.
Sorry Aidan i know you might not want to see this, but i just ordered there new anti-foam agent...Moonshine Shop Distillers Conditioner(antischaum) for £3.09 a bottle it does 2000ltrs. against the s/s conditioner at £2.40 which only does 67ltrs.

Never seen the reason for such a thing myself.
I would be eager to see you post a comparison between a use and non-use,should you ever feel the need to post one.

Missed the 'in stock' number first visit.

Have just bought all their Vodka Star. Saved me about £14.

Thanks for the link steven and for the product numbers info blue duck.

Hi,Robert. I would be quite comfortable not using it with sugar wash's ie: vodkastar, lentil/splitpea. but certainly not with concoctions ive been doing lately, as i use the t500 boiler a 20-24ltr wash doesn't leave a lot of head space, going by my last strip. malt/molasses/cereal it tried like a good one to climb out the boiler, the evidence was there when i lifted the lid.That was a 20ltr wash. so i think i'll play safe for now.

When stripping an All Grain or Corn wash an anti foam is essential kit. 99 strips may go perfectly well but it's the one that pukes that you'll always remember 'cause it takes sooo long to clean up after it

Let us know how that one works BD

Whatever works for you.
There's nonsense,guidelines,and rules.
Very few are written in stone.
My strips have a metre climb up the column before escaping,so I am a little blase (just imagine the accent on the e there,this keyboard won't accomodate!

My order from discountbrew has just been delivered, ordered it Thursday afternoon. Way quicker than I was expecting.

Apologies for taking all the VS guys.

What can i say,it does what it says on the label, its more economic than the S/S stuff, only need about 1.5 ml. per 24ltr strip, obviously you cant see whats going on in the boiler, i;m happy with the result.

You are welcome to it mate,I have bought it from there before,but have found an alternative wash which I prefer.
Long may it bring you happiness;variety is indeed a spice of life.
Robert.

variety is indeed a spice of life

Sure is.

What do you prefer now?

For me, VS is the one because the final product is good enough to get no complaints from me and friends, plenty of suppliers and I don't have do anything other than open the packet. Am having trouble imaging how much better the finished product would have to be for me to get involved with a diy wash.
