Ooops made mistake on first wash

Accidentally added in Part A of the Turbo Clear right after adding the carbon, but then realised my mistake.
Should I proceed or tip it down the sink and start again?
Thanks again

Has it fermented completely or is this before fermentation.

Isn't turbo carbon and clear used after fermentation has finished?

The carbon goes in to try reduce the stink while fermenting

Yes I stand corrected. I apologize to Grip Twister if I caused you any confusion. I got mixed up with part A and B of the turbo clear as opposed to the liquid carbon. Its been a while since I used my T500 and turbo products.

Probably worth mentioning that most on the forum don’t use turbo products but instead recipes from the tried and proven section which are much much cheaper and produce a better quality spirit (albeit less yield).

The problem with the turbo is the cost and trying to produce high alcohol content that reduces quality .

I suspected that may be the case. Seems you can make up numerous concoctions for a wash is what I'm quickly learning.

People think neutral(vodka washs) are best for many reason. Cheap /high yield /mouthfeel /no flavour /hint of flavour to name a few. You need to give us more info so we can try help.. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Most members here are happy to help if you have at least tried to find the answers yourself first. There is literally a whole section of tried and proven recipes, it would take 10 minutes to have a look and if you don’t have that much time unfortunately this hobby may not be for you.
