Redistilling Turbo

Postby LachlanH14 » Tue Sep 29, 2020 8:28 pm

So I've done a couple of runs of Turbo Yeast through Alcoengine reflux still. The first was great. I then started reading everything about Turbo being bad but decided to go again as the first run went well. The second run was not good.

I am putting on my first TPW tomorrow.

But, I have about 3L of spirit from my last Turbo run. If I redistill this will it clean up the spirit at all? Or is it a bin job?

Use it to clean your windows, about all its good for. Turbo Yeast is terrible.

I have found that if you grab a couple of handfulls of mint and some rosemary then add them into your turbo wash let it soak for a month then distill, then the turbo tast is a little bit better

It's never going to be very good...

If you're worried about the expense/time put into it, try and clean it up and use it for experiments and play around, see what you learn etc.

Good luck :smile:
