Postby Robbo12 » Mon May 14, 2018 6:32 pm

Hi finished a wash sg 01.70 and finished 0990 ,50 litres 11.5 kg t&l sugar ,500g tomato paste,141g baker's yeast,169 lemon juice this fermentation did in 7 days now I'm running through my t500 still at a temp of between 55© and 60© but I'm noticing a sweet teast coming off the still is it the carry overs from the sugar and will it go after I've distilled it again.

If it finished at 990 I don't think it is a sugar sweetness.
Wait and see what it tastes like tomorrow.
If it is still sweet your hydrometer is knackered or you need to visit specsavers.

Found out why it was turned the stick's over in a sented defuser had it on my fingers you live and learn for any one who's new to this do us a favour and ditch the turbo washes and try the kale or tomato washes.

Wow. That's an answer I didn't expect.

+1 for natural washes. Not as quick but the improvement in quality is stunning imo.
