Notes

I have been working on a simple recipe for a neutral sugar wash without a bunch of extra stuff in it to cause flavours, and this is it.Its real simple.
This is for a 6 gallon wash.
8 pounds of sugar{dissolved in hot water}
1 tsp of citric acid
1 tsp of DAP
1 tsp of gypsum{You can get this from a beer making supplier}
A pinch of epsom salts{Less than 1/8 of a tsp}
1/4 cup of distillers yeast, or 1/2 cup of bakers yeast{sprinkled on top}
Dissolve your sugar in hot water and mix until its dissolved real good.
Add the DAP, gypsum, acid and epsom salts, and stir until it's all dissolved.
Add this to your fermenter, and add enough cool water to make 6 gallons.
The starting SG should be 1070-1080SG. Don't go over 1080SG for best results.
Check the temp, and once it's 35c or under, sprinkle the yeast on top.
After 15-20 minutes, give it a good stir to mix things up, and get some air mixed in.You can cover the fermenter with a cloth, or use an airlock.
Depending on the fermenting temp, this will work off in a week or two.
Don't rush it.Let it finish to dryness, and give it another week to clear before running it.
I potstill this wash.It is very neutral, and very clean.It will make a clean neutral, pot stilled or refluxed.
By using a large amount of yeast,You don't have to add a bunch of extra nutrients and additives to get it to work, and the less stuff you add, the less it will influence flavours.
All you novice distillers using turbo yeast out there,Try this, and you will be done with turbos, carbon filtering, etc.
