Step 1: Add 21 liters of water, which is roughly 30 degrees Celsius, to your cleaned and sanitized fermenter.
Step 2: Add 6 kg of sucrose or 6.6 kg of dextrose and stir until it dissolves. Now, you should have about 25 liters of sugar solution that is ready for fermentation.
Step 3: Take your Distiller’s Nutrient and shake it well.
Step 4: Take the yeast as well as the nutrients and add them both directly into the fermentation vessel and stir well till it dissolves.
Step 5: Fit the lid and airlock.
Step 6: Leave it to ferment at 20 to 32 degrees Celsius for optimum performance and quality. You can also add the turbo carbon to absorb any impurities produced by the yeast during fermentation. This will improve the quality of your alcohol.
Step 7: Once your airlocks stop bubbling, it’s the indication the fermentation is complete. You can expect this in approximately 7 days. Tasting the wash at this stage reveals it to be dry and not sweet at all.
Step 8: Now, you can leave your wash to stand for one to two days for any remaining solids and yeast to “settle out.” Turbo clear will speed up the clarification process.
Step 9: You can then distill your wash to make your spirit. The wash should be siphoned into your still, leaving the sediment behind.
Step 10: After your first distillation, you can filter the spirit through a carbon filter to polish the spirit for a cleaner, smoother flavor.
