Crow,
How did you process the carrots in order to get it into a fermentable state?

I haven't tried but I know of ppl who have and have read about it could see if I can find it if ya really interested, I got a felling they dice them and boil them. The distillery that comes to mind is in South Africa

Well, the idea is pretty similar to vodka from potatoes. I just have not read up on it, but dicing and boiling does not sound too far off. Possibly use of an enzyme to help convert some starch to sugar, on top of the naturally occurring sugar?

[crow]

yeah pretty sure carrots are full of fermentable sugars

4 days and it's under 1030, looking and smelling good. Stopped smelling like chicken soup now and has some good nose hair burning fumes happening :))

Its down to 993 now, still bubbling slowly but not for long. Smells pretty good,

Down to 987 this morning, still a few bubbles, getting really clear to. I'm going to run this one tomorrow just because I'm dieing to see how it comes out lol. The other one, which is totally identical to this one I ll let sit for another week and see what it clears like and if the end product is any dif. Happy hippies.

Sounds like its fermented out well then :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[googe]

Really happy with how it's worked out Sam :handgestures-thumbupleft: . Looking forward to stilling it.

Running the veg stock wash atm, its by far the best smelling and tasting Nuet ive done!!. Its got almost zero smell!. I'm stripping it though.

yeah thats great but ya not making perfume dude so how does it taste :teasing-tease:

[googe]

Doing the spirit run right now, tastes good :-D

[googe]

Won't be doing tpw anymore 8-) . Got into a bit of it yesterday doing some steeping,can honestly say a couple of bottles have got zero smell, never had a result.like that with my pot and a single spirit run. Very happy, im going to use less stock in the next though, just think it's a bit to much for the size wash. Taste is like :think: ....a very very slight spice in it maybe, only really notice it if you focus hard on it. Nice and smooth, quite warming to drink.

Google,
You are pot stilling? If so, what did the TPW taste like vs the veg stock? I am looking at running a neutral soon and am wondering which way to go. And how much would you reduce the stock by?

Willing be running a Mac boka.

Yeah potstill mate, every tpw I've done has smelt just not right. To vinegar y or something, can always smell a.hint of Toms in it to,that's mainly due to me just stripping then doing a single spirit run, im guessing I need to do more to refine it better, I didn't have to do that with this wash though. Im.going to try 250ml next time instead of 500ml. I think it got down to about 984 just before I stilled it so there's no peons with using less stock. By all means tpw is a great simple.recipe, im not trying to take away from.that, just wanted something I was happy with, we all have different likes :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Lupus]

Thanks googe ( god I hate predictive text type in googe and it auto corrects to google)

Think I will keep an eye on your progress with this recipe and do a TPW first up to compare. See how you go with the reduced stock. The spicey after taste of your veg stock wash has potential, specially of considering more spiced infusions.

can I just say that in my opinion your are very unlikely to get anything very close to a neutral do a strip and single run with a pot regardless of what sugar wash is used . My figs had a strip and 3 spirit runs and the flavour is still a bit to strong for my liking and thats aiming for a Rakia not a neutral, I'd imagine to get this to a neutral would take something like 6 to 10 more runs . now a sugar wash obviously not going to be anywhere near that difficult but even so a good neutral from a pot would be some serious work entailing multiple spirit runs IMHO ;-)
