You need a starting and ending specific gravity reading-- not an alcoholometer meter reading I'd tell them to run it and see what they get. If it was bubbling, there's probably alcohol."

Here's the formula I use and I've gotten some really good results using it as well: The amount sugar and yeast she used is for a much larger batch. Here's what she needed to use: #1: 25 gallons of water #2: 30 Lbs. of sugar #3: 1/3 cup(s) of yeast We also need to know more about her process/method of mashing in. Can you please ask her to describe what steps she takes when she mashes in? Thanks.

There is no dought in my mind that it created etoh. I say run it but I bet it will be canal water unless he runs it thrice and then puts it through carbon.

Yeah it probably won't be any good without doing a couple of stripping runs and then a refining run. Definately will need some filtering. They'll have to run it to be sure.
