Hi, I would like to know the best temperature a TPW should ferment at and the max and minimum it can handle, Standard TPW with Lowans instant dried yeast.
I have made two batches but one of them stopped bubbling at about 23deg, I warmed it up a bit and gave it a good stir,that got it going again. Also should I stir the yeast in or just sprinkle on top.

Lowans seems to love being around 30C

I always rehydrate yeast by putting it in a sterilised jar with warm water and a teaspoon of sugar just to wake your yeasties up. Once it has soaked in it will go pastey and reproduce like mad. aerate your wort as best you can, and add the rehydrated yeast. You will be rocking along then, no worries.

It is customary to pop into the welcome centre at say hi (as you already know from the TPW thread you posted in) before posting questions and that is probably why no one has really answered your questions. We are happy to help but won't rush to the aid of people who don't really want to be part of the community. I will however give you the benifit of the doubt and answer the best I can but hope you decide to join in and post a welcome comment :handgestures-thumbupleft:

TPW and lowans are both pretty forgiving. Keep it anywhere between 25-30 and you should be right. It will ferment at lower but will be slow as hell, it will also go much higher if you wanted, I've pitched Lowans at 40 before and had no trouble but be careful because you can get off flavors at higher temps. I always stir my yeast in and try get some air into it at the same time.

Hi guys, I used to make whisky 20 years ago, i used a 5L still, got sick of that! Back into it again 4 months ago with a T500. I have been using hbs yeasts etc and now trying tpw, I am very impressed with my first batch. Whisky is my main poison but I also make ouzo gin and will try a few more!
Thanks for the reply woodduck
