Sugarwash?
Sugarwash?
I read up that you can make somewhere between 11 to 20% alcohol by adding about 7kg sugar to water and use turbo yeast. Would this work and could i add like basic flavourings like peach etc to make some alcohol beverages.

Re: Sugarwash?
Apparently there is a further process you can do to this wash and add flavourings but I know nothing about this.
Here is something for making distilled water

Re: Sugarwash?
I might just add vodka flavourings and stuff before drinking or for whoever else is gonna drink it. I know i can do other things with it but dont feel like trying it.

You are entering a world of HURT!
I made this 16/02/13 for my son and his friends who wanted to drink shots!
20Lt water
1 pack Alcotec 48
6Kg white sugar
SG 1188
Room temp 20 - 22deg ( I didn`t have heaters then)
FG 0.996
ABV 26%
Use Sodastream flavourings for taste. The Green Apple one is the Best!
Still got loads in my Beer Shed. The boys (wimps) are scared of it!

Re: Sugarwash?
I made this once and its honking!
It tastes of really sweet, rough alcohol and that's about it. Tokk me over a year to pour the last demi John down the drain - there was no improvement and I just don't want to get pissed on rank tramp juice

Re: Sugarwash?
It makes alcohol, but its rough as a tramp's asshole fuzz. If you must....
1) use brewing sugar (dextrose) - NOT white sugar - and less of it.
2) don't be greedy - from what I've read, the most "drinkable" stuff comes from a product called "triple still" - it works slower, and only goes to about 14% - but the hooch is much cleaner
3) activated charcoal followed by turbo-claar are essential to make it drinkable.
4) consider further charcoal filtering before drinking or mixing flavouring - lot of folks run it through a Brita jug, and at the lower abvs it wont leach off flavours.
End of the day, you're better off buying one of the prohibition or alcotec kits- they come with everything you need AND the flavourings.
Sugar washes and turbo yeasts are designed for an "additional" processing step we dont talk about in these parts....

Is this all wandering in to the arena of " stuff that could blind you" ?

Re: Sugarwash?
You'd be hard pressed to blind yourself with fermented brews- you'd have to drink gallons to build up toxic quantities of methanol. Blindness becomes an issue with certain "concentration" processes where you keep the same volume of methanol in a significantly smaller quantity of liquid.
