TPW virgin

[Astro]

Putting down some TPW today as the mrs wants some neutral for skittle/musk flavouring for Xmas.
Having only done molasses wash through my pot I'm keen to try this out.
I've only done 200ltr washes in old olive barrels but will be using 4x30ltr clear drums so I can see what's going on, if it works I'll be using the 200ltr again.
Will keep you posted.

Would I be right in thinking I strip first with my pot and then run that through my bok or 2 bok runs?

[Zak Griffin]

Strip it through the pot and run the low wines at 40% or less through the Bok, and you should get yourself some fine neutral :handgestures-thumbupleft:

:text-thankyoublue:
Just what I wanted to hear mate
This is all the yeast in my one horse town so I'm hoping one is as good as the other, got a few strange looks taking pictures of yeast 8-}

[Zak Griffin]

Any of those should be right, I'd guess they're all more or less the same thing anyway :handgestures-thumbupleft:

This is the one most use if you can find it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I use the tandaco but in the 12 satchet pack its 84gms close enough to the 80gms needed

I put down 4x25l batches at a time i ran my pot last night 2 stripping runs and i ended up with a little over 30 litres of 50% ill water that down tonight to under 40% put it through my reflux it makes a great nuetral

[Astro]

I'm putting down the same amount benpandaae86 so keen to hear how much your getting out after you last run.
For $46.60 I'm loving this hobby :happy-partydance:

[benpandaae86]

Did u get the no added salt tomato paste

[Astro]

Crap, no I didn't.
I've read it's very forgiving though, I hope so as I've already mixed it all up.
I couldn't find the answer to this q so when pitching the yeast do I mix it or sprinkle on top?

[benpandaae86]

I mix mine in but not sure thats what i used to do with the turbos so i do the same

Its very forgiving shel'l be right mate

[Astro]

Still at 32*c so just waiting for it to drop below 30 before I pitch
SP is 1075 on all 4 drums

[Sam.]

You won't kill it at 32' let her rip :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Astro]

She's away and ripping Sam, not as violent as the rum thank goodness as I've only got s bend air locks

Im not sure exactly but i think aldi white sugar is 1.79$ for 2kg. i found black and gold, homebrand etc is still more expensive than aldi sugar. and they have tomato paste in a jar also. all cheaper than coles and woolies.
ill be trying out their tomato paste in a few days. just thought i would mention this for the ones that wish to spend as little as possible :smile:

[wil]

yeah WDTist I am on my 9th TPW using the aldi tomato paste haven't had a problem yet
Cheers

I've pitched all my washes so far at 40'c with the lowans and they have all taken off :handgestures-thumbupleft:

At 40 deg it will take off that is where I try to keep my rum ferments fast ferment equals flavour carryover and funky tastes from the yeast great for rum, but for tpw 32deg or under for me slower is cleaner in my experience. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Astro]

Been above 40c here the last couple of days and 28c+ nights so the shed is hot as he'll. bubbling very slowly now after a fast couple of days. Might need a second fermenter fridge at this rate
