G'day and a Tomato Paste Wash question

[Brownman]

Just doing to wash today and my brother is a baker and was wondering what bakers yeast to use because there is instant dried which is what I am using and another which he used baking and said he could never get anything right with the instant dried as it would make stuff go way to fast so when he saw me putting 80g of that in he freaked out and said it should be the other yeast as it would cook to quick so to say. Any thoughts on this? And could be handy to know for other washes. And also I used a converter on the net for grams to tablespoons and it came to about 9 tablespoons is this about right???? I'll find out I suppose

Hey mate most people on here use lowans which is an instant dried yeast. In my opinion the "fast cook" is what we're after since it makes the wash finish faster. In all honesty I've used the non-instant bakers yeast for a tpw and the results were similar but lowans works well so no sense in changing :handgestures-thumbupleft: what volume was the wash? 80g sounds about right to me for 30-50L

G'day mate, moved your post here as it's your first so welcome bud :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Tell your brother your making alcohol not baking, what you did is the right thing :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome mate :greetings-waveyellow:

I'm sure it will be fine, the TPW is pretty forgiving.

I hope it works out a treat :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Welcome to AD Brownman.

:text-+1: on what the others have said on dried bakers yeast. There's a reason that recipe is in the tried and true area!

Cheers,

Welcome buddy, once you have done a bakers dozen stripping runs you will have one hell of a spirit run ready :laughing-rolling:

As a no0b myself, I've tried most of the ''Tried & Proven" neutrals & IMHO TPW is the best all rounder. It will always go down to .990 (eventually temp dependent), seems to be very PH friendly, you can even 'generation' the yeast a few times.
