Glad to here you like it...agree best bang for buck taste sugar based wash there is imho.

I'm done with TPW. This wash is definitely the go. I wouldn't thought there would be that much of a difference :teasing-tease:
Stocking up on weetbix and allbran just in case of shortages :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Turbo yeast like vodka star would use a similar yeast with nutrient .Making a yeast starter with a small amount is possible.

Is anyone running the weetbix/allbran wash through their 4 plate bubblers? Mine seems quite neutral though it is still very young. On oak atm will see how it develops.

Yeah I have mate, and found it to be quite neutral too. Next time, I will give it a go with 3 plates and run it a bit harder.
For now, I'm going to all grain to get the flavours I desire :D

Douldle up on the ingredients and add a can of liquid malt of two from woolies, it boosts the flavour right up there...

I did that too...make sure you don't run it too slow or you'll lose a lot of the flavour you've worked hard for.

It's official. After extensive market research (well 8 people of various age groups) I can make vodka (this weetbix/bran wash) that is picked over Grey Goose vodka in blind tests so far all the time :teasing-neener: 100% success rate :laughing-rolling:

Hi Guys,
Im looking for a vodka, so is this recipe best run through a reflux, or through the potstill?
Cheers

It's a great feeling isn't it?! I know some people who think they make the world's best spirits...but no one else thinks so :laughing-rolling:
When everyone picks yours in a blind taste test, you know you've nailed it.
I'm quite often against Smirnoff and Absolut, which let's face it, isn't much of a challenge, but Grey Goose is a good achievement. Only problem is, I would have to BUY :o a bottle of it for comparison :-D

Just double stilled 12 litres of AB/WB through the reflux after I pot stripped it to 50% ABV. Tastes bloody beautiful. Just what I have been looking for - a clean smooth vodka. Even the tails smell good. If I'm this impressed after 3 days what would it be like if I let it lie for a few weeks! This one was 50/50 All Bran and Weetbix. How have people doing Weetbix only found the wash and the taste ?
