25 lt wash into the 3rd day using turbo yeast,still spirits brand, and house hold white sugar.
Only have an 11%ABV, I know it's not finished yet, but I would have thought it would be higher, all bubbles out of airlock have stopped, but it still very gassy...
last time i did a wash with dextrose i ended with a ABV of 18%....
maybe i'm not going to get very much of this run...

Sounds like your yeast is locked up, too much sugar to start, I have had this problem using the turbos before and it resolves itself if you just use half the sugar at the start and when it slows down, apparently stopped, put in the other half and get it going again, you could use a 'dummie' vitiamn or something like that....Jimbull
