Teddy's Fast Fermenting Vodka

[Jaggie]

Easydrinker what do you use to clear your wash then?

[Mash]

I reckon ED uses a large sprinkling of clock and a spoonful of gravity.

[Easydrinker]

Mash has that right.
I use about a week or so of time, for a finished wash to clear.
It doesn't usually take much longer.
Equally I don't wait for washes to be totally clear these days.

Maybe I still use DAP for the "Je ne sais quoi" that it might bring to the party.

The DAP is of course a yeast nutrient. At the recipe levels it adds no discernible taste.

The Vit B1 is of course presented by the Multivite tab.

The wine industry (probably one of the fussiest about fermentation) continues to use DAP either alone of as a major part of their specialist nutrients.

The wheat bran brings speed and mouthfeel to the spirit.


However to each his own.

Jaggie 100ml water is too little for rehydrating 50g. Rehydrating should be done with about 7 to 10x warm water to yeast. Sprinkle slowly onto the water and do not stir. allow to slowly settle into the water. I do several part sprinkles until the yeast has absorbed water. then a gentle swirl. Allow to stand for 15 mins. add about 250ml of the wash to the yeast mix and give a gentle stir. wait till the yeast starts expanding in the container (this proves it is viable and multiplying.)
Then add to the aerated wash and gently stir.

This seems intense and serious.

I simply sprinkle the yeast on top of everything else.
Results visible within minutes, along with that smell of fermentation.
Not saying that I am right, but it works for me.
