Easy Weetbix / All Bran Wash Recipe Discussion

[Teddysad]

you can cut back on the yeast
It will grow to its own suitable level
I'd suggest maybe 250g


Weetbix and allbran can also be cut back by up to 1/3 with no great impact

I would keep Cirric acid down too if you have some way of checking Ph get it to about 4.5 to 4.8

Might give that a go KD once I get my next 2 Weetbix and a shit load of plums out of the way. Got a recipe for cachaca that involves 27 kgs of Golden Syrup coming up after that ... ;-)

I would be interested in your cachaca recipie. I have made a batch, just made the recipie up, loads of raw sugar, treacle, brown sugar, whatever was available. I have a bunch of Brazillian friends and they thought that it was very good. Would be interested in any recipies for cachaca. Btw the capahrina is a very popular drink in Brazil, although made on vodka as much as cachaca. It is spirit, lime, sugar and ice.

Sure BM I got it from here http://www.stillsmart.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2743&start=15 Looking at the prices everyone else has to pay for Golden Syrup it looks like a winner !

I've stripped my first one and it does mell ane taste very nice....very similar to a beer I stripped but not so Hopsy.

I'm hereing you aussie...not to sure whether to Reflux the fuck out of it for a nice vodka or put half through tje pot again and make cuts and stick it on some Oak.

I did mine with Lowans...Aussie , have you done this before wih bread yeast or is it first time with EC 1118

I've currently got gen 3 of this fermenting... Using backset and reusing the grain bed. Going to strip 5 gens, do a spirit run and bang the lot on American oak. See what I come up with.

I'll start a thread when I get results.

Just imagine how bloody good it would be with no ALL BRAN AND SOME NICE CARA OR CRYSTAL MALT GRAINS...now there's a killa drop, on thin, medium toasted American Oak... The denser stuff from the deep South ..Missouri type timbers.

I'm with you mate. Not a rapid finisher at all.

Really?
I've always found it a fast finisher. As long as you keep the temp up to it, I find that 25 litres will ferment out in about 4 days.
Maybe it gets slower as the volume increases?

Weetbix is made in Canada under the brandname weetabix, and is exported to the USA if you live near a Trader Joes they usually stock Weetabix for about $3 a 750 gram pack.
