Its been about 6 days now and its starting to slow down , at this rate its probably going to be finished next weekend .... Is this suppost to be right ?? above is what i did . i know its not a turbo but since this is my 2nd ever wash i dont really have anything to compare it to.
Since its taking its time , im about to put on 2x15L washes so they can be staggered over each weekend. i was going to go 4kg sugarand 80-90 g yeast , 1x tub (140g). do you think that will work.
and also , how come i didnt have any of that foam or going nuts with my TPW ,,,,, it kicked off Ok then just been bubbling over like soft drink.... suggestions ?
It sounds all good mate,,I've only done a few tpw,but heaps of beer,so found tpw not hard to do,mine just bubbled away like yours about 8 days,,I did a 12 l wash with 2k sugar,about 80g yeast pinch Epsom pince citric acid,1 small tomato paste,no name,and it worked fine,do a fg test on it,about .990 is about where your aiming.also i found decanting it into another bucket,without the shit in the bottom,let it settle overnight,then distill it.was a bit cloudy still but was fine through the still!also you don't need that foam stoping crap from the HBS,when distilling,also ask heaps of questions because you get the right answers here mate,,good luck it'll be fine!!tasty fine!! :happy-partydance:
