New At This

Postby Lil Pete » Tue Nov 20, 2012 11:44 am

hi guys im new at this on my second wash as we were moving i rushed it and added the 8 kg sugar and the yeast but forgot to add the turbo carbon :sad:
after distilling i realised what i had done can this still be used if i re distill or is it a lost cause
im sorry if this has been covered before but i couldnt find any topic headers
cheers

Hey Lil Pete

Welcome to the forum. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I used a couple of these when i first started and never used the the turbo carbon in my wash. They worked fine but i do reccomend filtering/ re-distilling it to clean it up a bit. I only did a few of these turbos as there is some good simple recipes in the tried and proven section here for making a good neutral wash that will work fine thru your still.

Cheers

Yep re distill it and then do cuts, after that go to tried and proven recipes and follow one of them. You will never waste money on carbon or turbo yeast again, here a link to the cuts instructions ;-)
