/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Ive made up some washes using boiled lentils, sugar and fruit juices.

I put a few tbsp of turbo yeast into 500ML of water in a 4L jug, and let it rehydrate for 30 min. Then I poured in juice and lentils. After another 30min I added sugar.

Orange juice seems to be bad for yeast early on, due to acidity.
Pineapple juice is really bad, with both acidity and digestive enzymes.

However, grape apple lychee and other non-acidic fruits seem to do really well.
I bought some cartons of guava juice. Its more like guava pulp though. Very thick. The yeast loved it and started foaming up within 3 hours. Blew the top off my bottle too.

I'm going to start building my own water cooled condenser this weekend using copper fittings.
