Doin a broccoli wash
Almost 1 kg fresh broccoli boiled a little,not much,mashed.
4 kg sugar
Pinch Epsom
Pinch citric
100grams lowans bakers yeast
22 ltr water

Smells ok so far.recon it will work?? :shock:

Howdy,

Hope it turns out..never found a green veg that works for me..too much carry over even at 94%+ on the CM type still.

big fan of pumkin but...use this instead of TPW for a softer flavoured drop.

Let us your results

cheers

Yer see how it goes,I was aiming for a veg high in nitrogen,,done a pumpkin one ,geez that's smooth stuff I recon,,dare I say smoother than tpw??what do you mean carry over?bit of a newbie so apologies in advance.im just using the pure distilling reflux 30 ltr boiler,and getting some awsome results. :text-thankyoublue:

Howdy,

The flavour carries over into the final product...there's just too much of it for my tastes if your making a neutral type product.

Give it a try see what you think

Boiled it last night got 8 and a half 200 ml jars after chucking 300 ml fores,heads.smells ok for a neutral,going to bottle up tomoz and soak on some Kentucky bourban chunks for a few weeks then drink the sh*t out of it.!but over all smells good and hopefully tastes ok!this forum has inspired me to experiment.!thnks to all!!just thinking what else I can try now.......any ideas :-B

any legume is high in nitrogen and should work well, clover works reckon Lucerne would to, some say tomato paste is pretty good to :handgestures-thumbupleft: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

Hey Croweater, when you say Legumes are high in nitrogen, Im not sure. That may be technically true but im not sure its free nitrogen that is available to the yeast to consume. Its not like like DAP or super phosphate where the nitrogen is available for plant/yeast growth.

Lou

:handgestures-thumbupleft: yep it is BTW superphosphate could be used (I wouldn't) to adjust ph but have nothing really for yeast to consume

Hey is here a recipe for using potatoes,I suppose like the riskiest use for vodka?might try using them...will it wk you recon? :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Potatoes ... yeah bout that they will work but supposedly the yield is quite low so only really worth it if you can get a lot of spuds for cheap/free , not an easy way to get a neutral

I recon ill just use them as a nutrient,like half tin of tomato paste,4 potatoes mashed in there,4 kilos sugar,etc.might even leave the tomato out.. :D

Just got a quote on a pot still head,one of those pure distilling ones,,380$,,I recon that sounds ok for a bought one,and they look fairly small and compact,,anyone use these,,looking at rum,rum and more rum!?,yeeeew :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I've seen better pot stills a lot cheaper than that :laughing-rolling:

Hey mate, I bought one of these when I started. I've used it for a few times for rum and it works OK. If I had my time again I'd get one from the guys here or build one. Comparison is about $680 for the pure distilling head and 30L boiler, or more like $350-400 for a 2" pot on a 50L converted keg.

Ok I'm defiantly taking you guys advice here,just had a look at them in the store part.they look so long compared to the pure distilling one.can these be made to fit the beer me 30 ltr boiler that you get with pur distilling as I got there reflux still with boiler. :handgestures-thumbupleft: cheers. :text-thankyoublue:
