Instructions:
25 litres of 14% alcohol in 9 days
1. Mix hot and cold water to a liquid temperature of 30 °C
in a sterilized fermenter (capable of holding minimum 27 litres). Adjust
volume to exactly 21 litres.
2. Add either 7 kgs of Brewing Sugar (Dextrose
Monohydrate) or 6 kgs of normal white granulated sugar and mix well
until liquid is completely clear.
3. Add contents of both sachets (yeast/nutrient and
activated carbon) to the liquid.
NOTE: Shake the carbon sachet before
opening to make sure there are no lumps, especially near the edges of
the sachet.
4. Leave to ferment at room temperature (18 °C - 24 °C)
for 7 days (until no more activity - can take 1-2 days extra if cool
room temp).
NOTE: If ambient temperature is above 24 °C your fermentation will
stick prematurely.
NOTE: Always consider the risk of leaks, frothing etc when choosing
where to place fermenter.
5. Add a good fining agent (Alcotec Turbo Klar or
similar) and leave to clear for 2 days (the wash does not have to be
completely clear for distilling) or longer if you plan to use it without
distilling.
NOTE: It is important to use turbo clear, otherwise unwanted substances
absorbed during fermentation will be released again during boiling.
6. Siphon off, and your wash is ready for distilling or
other use
