How to Use Still Spirits Classic 8 for the Cleanest Wash

Start by dissolving 6kg of sugar in warm water inside a sanitised fermenter, then top up with cool water to roughly 25 litres. You’re aiming for a starting temperature around 30°C.

Sprinkle the whole sachet of Classic 8 over the wash, give it a gentle stir, and seal with an airlock. At 20 to 30°C, fermentation usually wraps up inside 7 to 8 days.

Once it’s done, clear the wash and distil. Run it through activated carbon afterwards and you’ll have a clean, neutral spirit ready for flavouring with your favourite essence.

FAQ

How long does Still Spirits Classic 8 take to ferment?

At the recommended temperature of 20 to 30°C, Classic 8 typically completes fermentation within 7 to 8 days when used with 6kg of sugar in approximately 25 litres of water. Keeping your wash within that temperature range is the single biggest factor in hitting that timeframe consistently.
A standard batch uses 6kg of sugar dissolved in warm water, topped up to around 25 litres with cool water. Aim for a starting temperature of roughly 30°C before pitching the yeast. The full sachet goes in at once so there is no need to rehydrate separately.
Yes. Once fermentation is complete, clear the wash before distilling to remove as much sediment as possible. After the run, passing the spirit through activated carbon is strongly recommended. It strips out residual off-flavours and leaves you with a clean, neutral base ready for essences or further flavouring.
For best results you’ll want a quality still, a sanitised fermenting vessel with an airlock, a temperature controller to keep your wash in the ideal range, and a carbon filter system for post-distillation polishing. We stock all of these at our Bayswater store and can help you put together a complete setup that works well together.
