Organic Blue Agave Syrup (Dark) - 25kg Cube

Dark Blue Agave Syrup is ideal for the production of high quality Tequila / Agave Spirits or as a natural food sweetener.

Dark Agave Syrup is rich in minerals, having gone through less filtering it conserves the flavour of the agave plant, different from Light Agave Syrup.

Produced using traditional methods in the best region of Mexico where the maguey or agave plant grows natively.

Agave Syrup or Agave Nectar as it is also known, is obtained from the sap in the core of the agave or maguey plant.

Agave Syrup is an excellent choice to be used as a natural food sweetener as it is slowly metabolized and has a very low Glycemic Index (GI) compared to sugar, honey, maple syrup or other sweeteners.

Directions for Use: Dilute 1:4 with water to produce a 125L wash with an SG of 1.065-1.070. 

Sugested Yeast:  Lalvin - EC-1118 Yeast with yeast nutrient

To produce a 23L wash use 1 x Organic Blue Agave Syrup (Dark) - 4.6kg

Do you want to make Tequila?

A recipe that we would recommend for tequila is to:

STEP 1.
Mix this organic Agave with water to achieve a mix of 1.090-1.100 SG (or 23-24plato)

STEP 2.
Use the KegLand Angel PM16 (0.3g/Litre) yeast to ferment this and at the same time pitch the KegLand Angel nutrientfast at a pitch rate of 3g/Litre.

STEP 3.
Check gravity after 8 days.

STEP 4.
Once the gravity readings stay stable for 2-3 days crash chill, clarify to remove as much yeast as possible and then transfer to boiler for distillation.  
NOTE: Fermentation normally takes about 8 days and you should get close to 15% ABV in the final wash.

STEP 5.
We recommend the use of the polyphoenix bubble capper for this type of run.  Setup with 2-4 bubble capper plated (depending on how clean your wash is).
