No, I have not seen the "econo-wash" recipe for sugar based wash at alcohol fuel yahoo site.
I will certainly be interested in hearing how it works for you.
I have been doing more traditional "turbo" sugar beers so far. The only thing I've been trying to figure out is how much I can reduce the input of turbo yeast and get the same results. Am about to see it "pitching" a greatly reduced starting amount works.
Hiya, that is good to hear. I'm glad Riku responded to the email and that he noted additional columns are effective means of increasing output. Talk to you later, Erik
Whoo-Hoo! :D Glad you are on a cash basis for bog honkin' quantities of dextrose! Yay!
Keep me updated.
I too am experimenting with sugar beer. I feel it is the best way to learn your still. It eliminates variables, and for now I think I will benefit best by doing so! hehehe...
It came with the kit from Plug in Supply in California. I'll have to do some research to find out. You can google Plug in Supply and you should find them.
Thank you very much. I'll try to take a look at it tomorrow. Semester tests are tomorrow and I might have time to exam it while they are taking their tests. Thanks agian!
I've done a few stripping runs. I don't yet have enough low wine that I feel I'm ready for the final run. The first two stripping runs were literally on beer. My dad had a batch of "bad" home brew beer. So we stripped them, and we are working on stripping the results of making two batches of beer from a couple different "turbo" yeasts.
You can see what we've done at my web site, but I haven't yet had time to update the site with the last stripping run:

Keep in touch and let me know how your net trial goes!
Roger-Doger, Dogbreath. Will let you know how the PDA-1 seems to be shaping up after getting a few batches through it and once I have some kind of a feel for it. Looking forward to hearing how your mods to the Charles803 go. Talk to you later -- Erik
What do you have to say about Dave's book "Alcohol Can Be A Gas"?
waiting to view and read. People who are critical of this work have not taken the time to actually read it. Very impressed with the breadth of material that David covers. Looking forward to viewing the DVD when it arrives. I think we are definitely at a point where critical mass of interest and participation can swing things onto a different path.
About Me:
biodiesel maker for 5+ years, will be recycling waste alcohol to make ethanol starting this fall.
