FAQ
Which still should I use with whiskey yeast?
A pot still, such as the Alembic Pot Still dome and copper condenser on a boiler or Grainfather, keeps the most flavour. For a lighter result you can run a T500 condenser with the ceramic saddles removed.
Can I use it with a sugar wash?
Yes. It ferments sugar, malt extract or grain, though grain and malt give the most whiskey-like character.
How much wash does one sachet treat?
Up to 25L, with an alcohol tolerance of 15% ABV.
