Making The Wash and Fermenting

Visit the LoveBrewing website:

*********************************

In this video, Richard walks you through the process of making a wash at the right temperature and using the correct yeast. Also, once the wash is complete you'll learn how to start the fermentation process. Hope you enjoy it!

If you would like to use Dextrose instead of normal sugar to get better results then you will find it here:

Richard also mentions using Pure Yeast. If you would like to follow the recommendation then find it here:

Alternatively, you could buy the Triple Pack which comes with the Yeast, Carbon and Turbo Clear.

Your videos are excellent! You've got me started with home distillation. Thanks!

I'm making my very first wash. In 2 days it will be 3 weeks. My hydrometer is only in the orange. Should I be worried? Will it get there? Could I put it through the air still? It's not as black as it was. My wash looking crey

Thanks for this! i am just attempting my first run.

Any reason you didnt show the addition of the yeast nutrient, yeast and the turbo carbon? Considering when you do that, the wash turns black. If people are not familiar with that, I think they might get a fright.

Trying a 6 bottle wine kit for the first time. Followed instructions ok, 48 hours later my red wine is bubbling out of air lock! Do I leave it?

[TheGreatest]

You went from the sugar to the air lock and missed out adding the yeast and the carbon??

Put your bucket in a nice place. Orders a 5 star hotel.

Easier to pour fully hot water over your sugar—it dissolves almost instantly—then switch to cooler...

Long time brewer here. After watching these videos, there is some sketchiness. Like you can only use "pure yeast"....mhmmm let me guess who sells it. And he says he made a 20% wash and distilled a gallon of 92% ethanol out of a five gallon batch in another video. Neither of those are realistic.
