Hi all and WOW...

[Boots]

G’day all, and WOW. I don’t want to blow smoke up anyone’s arse but you have created something amazing here!

I started brewing over the summer using the commercially available Air Still and quickly started moving away from the carbon clearing and essences to start using the recipes I found online to make Kahlua, Tia Maria, Irish Cream, Orange Liquor and Spiced Rum from my neutral spirit.
The “Trouble and Strife” keeps telling me there is an “Odd Taste in ya Hooch”, and now you’re all saying to your selves, “He’s still using Turbo Yeast”, posting.php?mode=post&f=3#so yes, today I put down 20ltrs of your TPW recipe, I am wanting to become a TPW convert.
Now I understand that your TPW ferments a little slower and has a slightly lower yield, and I’m used to seeing the Turbo Yeast kick almost straight away, so Question:-
Dose the TPW take a little time to start showing signs of fermentation?

first off welcome to the forum and congrats on trying the TPW it is far cheaper and better tasting and yes it does have a slightly lower yeild but it cant be beat now in answer to your question fermentation time depends on what part of the country you are in and also what the temp was at time of fermentation (air temp) i myself am in tassie so i can ferment out a batch of TPW in 7-10 days in the summer as in the winter it takes me a full 14 days

Welcome mate, I'm sure you will enjoy the difference the TPW makes and also doing cuts which the HBS won't tell you about ;-)

Welcome Boots.
You will learn a lot here with the wealth of experience that is about. I am a newbie airstiller myself. Just about to put my first TPW and Turbo wash through the still.
Good luck with all.
