Brewstilla Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 We just ran a tote of the dark nectar from https://www.nectave.com/bulk-agave-nectar/. All stripped and will do spirit run tomorrow, happy with the product thus far. Shot a bit too high on the original gravity due to available fermentation capacity, and should have used a buffering agent to keep pH from crashing, but lessons learned for next time.

Breckenridge Technologies Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi SteelB, I may be late to the party, however, we have a great source of agave. We have access to 4 different color variations of 100% blue agave nectar and stock both a light and a dark option in the US. As Brewstilla said, it is really important to dilute the 75% brix solution. We recommend 12 brix as this maximizes yields without difficult fermentations. The correct balance of nutrients is also needed (DAP & vitamins). Please feel free to reach out to me and I can assist. All the best, JB Harrell JB@brecktech.com 925-984-6000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used a different brand of nectar and SafTeq Blue Yeast and it was a solid product but a little too clean and not exactly what we are looking for. If you are getting close to a blanco tequila flavor instead of a sweeter vodka/rum flavor, I'd be interested in what yeast you used if you would be willing to share.

Brewstilla Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I also used SafTeq Blue and fermented it at 95F. Stripped four washes and final spirit run on pot still. It is reminiscent of tequila, but also has a bit of that sweeter vodka thing going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
