Ok I was given a couple of packets of Alcotec Vodka Star, so I gave one a go.
Fermented down with no issues in 6 days, though it was lower than the 0.990, somewhere near 0.90, smells like a typical sugar wash, it was really cloudy, but I wasn't sure if you were meant to use one of the clearing agents like most packet yeast washes (Alcotec Turbo Klar, Turbo clear etc).
I tried searching everywhere for the answer to no avail, it doesn't mention needing it on the back of the packet and you don't use active carbon in the wash like the Alcotec 48 hour turbo, so I wasn't sure.
I racked it off with a auto syphon with a filter on it, left about 1cm on the bottom where you can clearly see the yeast, did a stripping run which had the standard sugar wash smell.
I'm 1L into the spirit run and I don't know what's wrong but man it tastes horrible, a real off flavor like nothing I've experienced before, I've had better cleaner results from a Still Spirits Turbo Pure wash compared to this, heck any of my previous turbo yeast washes tasted better, that's how bad it was.
Don't know if it was because I didn't use turbo clear :?
