When I discovered that a friend owned a still, I immediately wanted to follow a recipe and run something. whiskey, vodka, anything.

I'm five days into a "birdwatchers tomato paste wash". It is apparently a staple recipe for beginners, to make a neutral spirit. Basically vodka, or a flavorless rum.

The beauty of the recipe is the simplicity and low cost vs high yield. It's just not a whiskey, or real rum. I'm not really a drinker, I just want to try my hand at it.

I got wiped out on clones when my furnace died, so I was back to growing my least productive strain, Shaman.

My friends don't really wanna buy it, it's probably 12% on a good day.
One friend always says "ooh, shaman!" when we smoke, another says he doesn't like the flavor.
I think it tastes like anthocyanins....... I think a grape flavored green Dragon might be my best edible idea yet!

I'm weeks away, but the wash has been fermenting nicely.
I have 6 gal with bread yeast per the recipe (1.082), with 1/4tsp of Jack's 20-20-20 for good luck.***
Urea causes trace amounts of carcinogens, ammonium phosphate is the correct way. Miracle grow is safer, go figure.
I added Jack's for irony and luck, not for any other reason. It actually have it an amazing sour green apple scent.... Probably the posion...

I also have another 6gal (1.082), running only 10g of wine yeast that a friend wanted to run. This batch smells like franzia inside a basketball... Idk if I'm smelling the airlock or what. It's much slower than the breast yeast batch.

I'm hoping to run one of these next week! Then in a few weeks, finish my Green Dragon!

Edit: I actually fucked up on the bread yeast batch, I only added 21g, not 63g as intended. At day 5 (1.030) I added another tbs of yeast, and another pound of sugar. Hopefully I didn't just ruin it...
The Fleischmanns packets are (3) 7g packets, 21g total. I was wondering why bread yeast was 4x as dense as wine yeast.......
