Just taken a reading and it's 1.050 that's about 6.5 ABV at the moment.

This is only my opinion and method.
And is posted for information.
It may be worth trialing for yourselves.

Any wash/mash/brew that I run is tested daily for Ph.
Anything sweeter than 1.020 and below PH 5 gets Bicarb of Soda thrown in.

Seems to work for me,scientist that I am

I have used B o S before...(only last month) will check again later this morn and may well add a spoon...I want this wash to be cock on.

This might be a better way of doing it. I tried the bath bomb at the start method and found no gain.

It definitely helps, I've only had 1 big pH crash with a Frosties wash but after 2 big spoons of bicarb it soon fired up again & finished out dry. It scared the living day lights out of me when it went in though, high school chemistry class had all but left my brain until that massive foaming fizzing mess was heading out of the fermentation bucket toward me!

"Little by Little" as the Stones said.

youve made me pull my finger out and try it icefever :-). I got 20L of.molasses and used 50g of blended kale, it's gone off like a rocket! Lol, after one night and day it's still going mental, I can hear it from outside my shed lol. Definitely the most angry rum wash I've ever done!.

Yes but your the "Kale master" Googe I've got to look to my laurels now

Because it is soooooo neutral (more so than Trono) I think we should be thinking of it as a nutrient rather than an ingredient.

I am going to try it on a cereal wash.

Thanks googe....I'm lining up to do a molasses....this sounds like a plan

I was never satisfied Trono was neutral for some reason so dropped it long time back.

I may be off topic here, but I consider my lentil variant and bakers yeast wash to be be more neutral than any Turbo that I ever tried.

I've never lavished so much love on any wash before ..it's checked daily, a cuddle here, cuddle there..
When I open the ferm fridge the smell is wonderful....I hope it tastes good..I'm so besotted by using Golden syrup I've ordered another 3x7.5kgs.

I tried it to be sure. Not impressed. I added the result to my bucket of "cleaning fluid"

Just checked gravity now 1.034..that's a drop of 16 points....ph 4.4.
